Replacing Field values in Word Document QAxObject

[ivasija-evonem]

Dear all,

I'm really new to QT and I was tasked to update some field values in word document programmatically, currently I can replace text from word document fine, but when that field value is inside an object (table or anything) it's not working, my code is:

        QString     outFile("D:\\#test files\\output.docx");
        QString     inFile1("D:\\#test files\\input.docx");
        QAxObject   axObject("Word.Application");
        QAxObject* documents = axObject.querySubObject("Documents");
        QAxObject* document = documents->querySubObject("Open(const QString&, bool)", inFile1, true);
        QAxObject* selection = axObject.querySubObject("Selection");
        auto find = selection->querySubObject("Find");
        QString sOld = "${name}";
        QString sNew = "Ibrahim";
        bool bMatchCase = false;
        bool bMatchWholeWord = false;
        bool bMatchWildCards = false;
        bool bReplaceAll = true;
        QVariantList vl = { sOld, bMatchCase, bMatchWholeWord, bMatchWildCards, false, false, true, 1, false, sNew, bReplaceAll ? "2" : "1" };
        find->dynamicCall("Execute(QString,bool,bool,bool,bool,bool,bool,int,bool,QString,int)", vl);
        document->dynamicCall("SaveAs(const QString&)", outFile);
        document->dynamicCall("Close()");
        axObject.dynamicCall("Quit()");

If you can help it would be awesome :)

Best regards,
Ibrahim

You may not a useful answer here, as I don't think this has anything to do with Qt/QAxObject. You need to either read up in what you need to do in Word to achieve this, or try your code from a Word VBA macro/recording from Word, to determine what really needs to be done to find the items correctly.
