message: "Failed to find requested interface on OLE Object. result
= -2147467262"
I'm getting this same error. My code works with every other ActiveX I have
tried: PDF, Excel, Rich Text Control etc.. Has there been a solution found
for this problem?
I hit on an article in the MSN Knowledge base which may shed some light. I
would appreciate any help resolving this problem - I am not an ActiveX
expert!. I can't recommend SWT in our group until we can show a working
prototype of editing a Word doc inside an SWT frame. I'm running XP
Professional SP1 with Word 2000 (all relevant patches).
Here's the article:

SYMPTOMS
Traditionally, clients that support Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) can
use both the TypeLib key and Version key in the registry (under the CLSID
for an embeddable object) to locate the type library that describes the
object and its methods.
In Word 2000, the value for the Version key does not match the version
number of its type library. Consequently, clients that rely on this behavior
may fail to identify the correct type library for Word 2000 when using the
registry.

Word embedding in Eclipse itself is broken on my Machine (and many others
from the archives). Is it only Word 2000 that has the problem? Are there any
work arounds for this problem? It looks like that pulling the progId from
the registry is causing the problem - is there an alternative way to create
an ActiveX control.
The strange thing is that I am able to script word with the Jacob library.
Is there a way to compine SWT and Jacob to solve this problem?
I desperatley need to find a solution becuase if we don't - we won't be able
to use SWT. Now that we can combine SWT and SWING I'm trying to make a new
pitch - but the abillity to embed ActiveX controls is curcial.
