    Hello 
PJUG,

 


    I 
am hunting for some tutorials on how to declare and assign windows objects in 
Java.  I am swimming in loosely related information so any recommendations 
of literature people have liked on the subject would be appreciated.  Some 
examples of examples I would like to find are:


 


1) Have a Java app 
launch Microsoft Excel in Windows XP, create a new workbook, and assign value 3 
to cell B2 on sheet1.


 


2) Assign a user 
created button in Excel to launch a Hello World Java 
program.


 


3) Have a Java app 
draw a standard Windows messagebox.


 


4) Embed a java 
class inside an Excel workbook


 


      Hopefully, SOME of these are easily 
accomplished.  I know these are mickey mouse questions to some of you, but 
my name is Mikey, not Mickey!  :P


 


 


Thanks in 
Advance,


 


Michael

You can probably do it in Java, but it will be much easier
in C# and .NET

If you're not stuck with MS, you might consider doing this with
OpenOffice. ; I think you'll find the community very responsive and
there's documentation on how to do these types of things w/ Java:



&nbsp;   http://development.openoffice.org/



Look at the "Java Resources" section.&nbsp; If you haven't used Open Office
recently, it has come a long way.  The Open Document Format that it is
based on is also gaining a lot of popularity... even Google's online
word processing application uses it, as does AjaxWrite:



 &nbsp;  http://docs.google.com

 &nbsp;  http://www.ajaxwrite.com



Both awesome Ajax WWW sites, BTW.

Hello PJUG,


 


 &nbsp;  I am hunting for some tutorials on how to declare and assign windows objects in Java. ; I am swimming in loosely related information so any recommendations of literature people have liked on the subject would be appreciated.  Some examples of examples I would like to find are:



 


1) Have a Java app launch Microsoft Excel in Windows XP, create a new workbook, and assign value 3 to cell B2 on sheet1.


 


You can use the Runtime class's exec method to launch Microsoft Excel. It is possible that you could perform the other actions by using command line arguments with the Excel executable to do the other functions, but I'm not sure as I haven't worked with Excel for awhile. If none of the gurus on this list have a better idea, also consider writing a VB app to perform those functions and launch it from java with the exec method.








 


2) Assign a user created button in Excel to launch a Hello World Java program.


 


I'm not sure this can be done. I think that buttons in Office applications can only launch VBA macros.







 


3) Have a Java app draw a standard Windows messagebox.


&nbsp;


 ;


Look at the AWT or swing packages. They enable you to build the equivalent of a windows message box pretty easily.







 


4) Embed a java class inside an Excel workbook


 


Again, I don't think this is doable.







 


 &nbsp; &nbsp;  Hopefully, SOME of these are easily accomplished.  I know these are mickey mouse questions to some of you, but my name is Mikey, not Mickey!&nbsp; :P


 


 


Thanks in Advance,
