Hello,
I am automating MS Word with an OleControlSite, which works prettty well:
new OleControlSite(frame, SWT.NONE, "Word.Application");
This code always opens a new Word instance. Is it possible to connect
to an existing instance of Word, if there is one?
Kind regards,
Ludger Heisterkamp

Yes, that is right. This is the way I'm working right now.
But Word sometimes has problems accessing the normal.dot
when multiple instances are running at the same time.
To avoid these problems it would be nice to have the
possibility to access an existing instance.
In VB it possible via the GetObject method:
Dim wdapp As Object
Set wdapp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
But there seems to be no equivalent method in SWT...
