Passing strings to an ActiveX

[torrie]

I'm trying to use the MS Fax ActiveX library to send a fax with attachements. The FaxDocument object has a bodies property defined as a Variant (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx) which a string containing the file names of the documents to attach. when I call the putBodies method generated by Jade, passing in a string, I get a 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG) "The parameter is incorrect" exception.

Has anyone encountered this before when using ActivX interfaces / controls and if so is there a solution?

Code: Select all

<< SNIP >> create oFaxDocument transient; oFaxDocument.createAutomationObject(); //Choose to attach the fax to the fax receipt oFaxDocument.attachFaxToReceipt := true; //Set the cover page type and the path to the cover page oFaxDocument.coverPageType := CSMicrosoft_Fax_Service_Extend.CSFcptSERVER; // Server oFaxDocument.coverPage := app.getProfileString( app.getIniFileName, INISectionCELFaxSettings, INIKeyFaxCoverPage, DefaultCoverPage ); oFaxDocument.sender.officePhone := app.getProfileString( app.getIniFileName, INISectionCELFaxSettings, INIKeyFaxPhone, null ); oFaxDocument.sender.faxNumber := app.getProfileString( app.getIniFileName, INISectionCELFaxSettings, INIKeyFaxNumber, null ); oFaxDocument.sender.name := app.getProfileString( app.getIniFileName, INISectionCELFaxSettings, INIKeyFaxSenderName, null ); //Set the fax priority oFaxDocument.priority := CSMicrosoft_Fax_Service_Extend.CSFarSUBMIT_NORMAL; //Set the receipt type to email oFaxDocument.receiptType := CSMicrosoft_Fax_Service_Extend.CSFrtNONE; //Specify that the fax is to be sent at a particular time oFaxDocument.scheduleType := CSMicrosoft_Fax_Service_Extend.CSFstNOW; // now //Name the document oFaxDocument.documentName := self.class.name & ": Fax Report Output"; //Set the fax body [i]oFaxDocument.putBodies( 'C:\temp\file1.pdf;C:\temp\file2.pdf' );[/i] //Add the recipient with the fax number oFaxDocument.celAddReceiptents( receipentsAddresses, receipentsNames ); //Provide the cover page note oFaxDocument.note := message; oFaxDocument.subject := subject; oFaxDocument.connectedSubmit2( zMyFaxServer.getInterface( CSIFaxServer).CSIFaxServer, oOutgoingJobs);
