VC操作excel表格(一)

1. The require files

When you start to program in VC, you must have the lib files of Excel. The next table will show that:

Office Version	Requirement files	Other files	Default Dir
Office 97	Excel8.olb	Excel.exe	C:/program files/MS Office/office
Office 2000	Excel9.olb	Excel.exe	C:/program files/MS Office/office
Office 2002	Excel.exe		C:/program files/MS Office/office10
Office XP	Excel.exe		C:/program files/MS Office/office10

 

 

Before you start work, you must be sure that corresponding files are there.

2. The Excel Object model

Before you start to work, another thing must be known, it is the Excel object model. It tells us that what are included in Excel? Let us go.

2.1.      Basic model

Excel program consists of eight main parts; these are application object, workbooks object, work book object, work sheets object, work sheet object, range object, charts, chart. Next picture describes the relationship of main objects in Excel:

 

 

Notice: In fact, there are many other objects, but we often use above objects. You can find the MSDN/office development/office XXXX/excel for getting others.

2.2.      Application Object

Application object is defined in Excel type library as _Application class. Application is the Excel itself, the main functions are:

l         The setting and options of Excel application level

l         Some methods which return to top object

We can get Workbooks/workbook object from _Application object like this:

_Application app;

app.get_workbooks ();

2.3.      Workbooks object

Workbooks is the aggregate of all open books. It is container object, the element is workbook object.

The main functions are:

l         Return the workbook object by index.

l         Add a new empty workbook.

l         Open a file, and create a new workbook for this file.

Example:

Workbooks books = app.get_workbooks();

Workbook newBook = books.add(votp);

newBook = books.Open(“.//1.xls”,...);

newBook = books.get_Item(ColVariant((short)1));

2.4.      Workbook Object

Workbook object is a work book. It includes work sheet and chart. The main functions are:

l         Activate a workbook

l         Return a worksheets or charts

l         Return the active sheet

l         Save to file(XLS)

Example:

newBook.Activate();

WorkSheets sheets = newBook.get_WorkSheets();

newBook.get_Charts();

newBook.get_ActiveChart();

newBook.get_ActiveSheet();

2.5.      Worksheets object

Worksheets is a aggregate object too. Every element is worksheet object. In fact, there is a Sheets object, it is aggregate object too, but the element maybe a worksheet object or a chart object.

The main functions are:

l         Add new work sheet

l         Get work sheet by index

Example:

Worksheet sheet = sheets.add(vopt,vopt,vopt,COleVariant((short)1));

sheet = sheets.get_Item(index);

2.6.      Worksheet object

WorkSheet object is a work sheet of Excel. It is the member of Worksheets and sheets.

The main functions are:

l         All operation on work sheet, like password.

l         Return the Range object by cell area.

l         Activate itself

Example:

sheet. Protect();

sheet.put_Name(“My create sheet”);

Ranget oRng =sheet.get_Range(COleVariant(“A1:B3”),vopt);

sheet.Activate();

2.7.      Range object

Range object is a cell, or a row, or a column, or a area (it maybe a cell or some continuous cells), or a 3D area.

The main functions are:

l         Get and set the cells value

l         Get and set the cells formula

l         Offset

l         Union

l         Font, autofit, and so on…

Example:

oRng.get_Value();

oRng.put_Value(COleVariant("Date"));

oRange = oRange.get_Resize(COleVariant((long)20),

                     COleVariant((long)1));

oRange.put_Formula(COleVariant("=C2*0.07"));

2.8.      Charts

Charts is a aggregate object, it includes all charts in workbook, but it doesn’t contain embedded charts.

The main functions are:

l         Get chart by index

l         Add a new chart to workbook

l         Print chart

Example:

Charts charts = newBook.get_Charts();

Charts.get_Item(index);

Chart newChart = charts.add(vopt,vopt,COleVariant((short)1));

2.9.      Chart

Chart represents chart, it can be a embedded chart or a single chart.

The main functions:

l         Set the basic attributes, e.g., name, title, active.

l         Set the chart type

l         Set the chart data source

Example:

newChart.put_Name("My chart");

newChart.put_ChartType((long)xlLineMarkers);

Range oRang;

oRang = newSheet.get_Range(COleVariant("C2:D21"), vOpt);

newChart.SetSourceData(oRang,COleVariant((short)2));

 

2.10. Chart type

 

3. The step of creating

Now let us start to create a project and write program for creating an Excel sheet and an Excel chart.

We describe that in two steps. The first step is how to import type libraries and what type libraries are imported into project, and the second step is how to code. The second will be described in next section.

3.1.      How and what

What libraries are imported into? Different office version has different type libraries, see above form.

There are some difference of how to import between VC6.0 and VC7.0.

3.1.1.            VC6.0

1.    Create a MFC exe project

2.    Select Menu “View->Class Wizard”

3.    Select option card “Automation->Add Class->from type library”

4.    Select an excel9.olb/excel8.olb/excel.exe file, which often locates under dir C:/Program files/Office/.

5.    Select specified classes, e.g. _Application, Workbooks, _Workbook, Worksheets, _Worksheet, Range, then click OK, and a file named excel9.h/excel8.h will be created. That file includes the definition of above classes.

 

 

3.1.2.            VC7.0

1.    Create a MFC EXE project, single document, and container

2.    Select menu “Project->Class Wizard”

3.    Select “Class in type library”

4.    Click “Open” button

5.    Set the source of class as “File”, and select the file.

6.    Select the interfaces that you want to add your project from left list and insert them into right list

7.    Set the import file name (excel.h), then click the “Complete” button.
