Re: [Pharo-users] Automation of MS Office from Pharo

Dear Peter, I'm glad that you find the package useful! Can you please explain a little bit more about your code, because it's not obvious from your description at which stage the problem occurs. Could you trace it with the debugger, and/or possibly post here the piece of code that fails? Tha

Hello and thanks for the info regarding the SQUEAK_FAKEBIGCURSOR=1 It works for WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and I added it to my blog: https://fuhrmanator.github.io/2019/02/27/Pharo-in-WSL.html Cheers On Tue, 18 Feb 2020 at 11:43, tbrunz wrote: > I'm also looking forward to Hi-DPI suppo

Re: [Pharo-users] Automation of MS Office from Pharo

Hello Tomaž I have been exploring today, to try to narrow down where the problem appears. It’s difficult to give you some code to reproduce the problem, because you would need to have my Outlook Data File, or an extract of it, plus MS Outlook to run it on. If you want that, I will try to wor

Re: [Pharo-users] Automation of MS Office from Pharo

Hello Tomaž I have been working out how to make your debugging easier. If you have MS Outlook to explore with, I have an extract from my Outlook Data File I can send you, together with a code snippet to run in a playground. With these it should be easy to reproduce the error. HTH Pet

Re: [Pharo-users] Automation of MS Office from Pharo

Thanks, Peter. I checked out the Outlook COM interface, noticed that the MailItem.HTMLBody property returns a string, which is implemented as BSTR in COM (more on this here: https://bytecomb.com/vba-internals-string-variables-and-pointers-in-depth/). I tested the maximum lengths of strings wit

Re: [Pharo-users] Automation of MS Office from Pharo

Hi Tomaz Yes, that is exactly the problem I had, and the limit of 260K characters is consistent with my tests. I can get round it by saving the HTML to disk using the MailItem.SaveAs method, and then reading the file back from disk. I would try doing that with a memory disk, but I suspect th

Re: [Pharo-users] Automation of MS Office from Pharo

Thanks, Stephane, for the acknowledgement. Peter, as I understand, the limits in COM BSTR data type are defined by the header's length prefix (which is 4 bytes) and software implementatios - for instance, string data type in Visual Basic for Applications is described as "a variable-length strin
