Hello everyone!

I would like to start by saying thanks to everyone who takes some time to view this thread and try to help.

I have a Word document with a table, which has following format: 4 columns, 40 rows.

In a dialog box I have a listview that has data which goes to Word table.

In the code bellow, I check if number of items is greater than 40, and if is, I add ( NumberOfItems ) - 40 new rows, using method InsertRowBelow.

Then I type some text to test things, and it types text at proper place - current selection is the last added row.

Then I try to move up and type some text in the row before the last one, but selection moves 28 lines below the last inserted row, and types text.

If I don't insert any rows, it works OK.

I work with OLE and C++ automation.

I have used examples from these links:

How to insert text into tables in MS WORD ?[^]

My question is:

How can I fix my code to move up to the first row, after I have added new rows

C++

{
		// move from header to first row
					
		hr = AutoWrap( DISPATCH_METHOD, NULL, pSel, L"MoveDown", 0 );

		// if there are more then 40 items in listview add rows

		if( ListView_GetItemCount( GetDlgItem( hwnd, IDC_LIST1 ) ) > 40 )
			for( int i = 0; i < 
				(int)( ListView_GetItemCount( GetDlgItem( hwnd, IDC_LIST1 ) ) - 40 );
				i++ )
			{
				hr = AutoWrap( DISPATCH_METHOD, NULL, pSel, L"InsertRowsBelow", 0 );

			}

		// this is test stuff

		VARIANT xx;
		xx.vt = VT_BSTR;
		xx.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"rows");

		hr = AutoWrap( DISPATCH_METHOD, NULL, pSel, L"TypeText", 1, xx );

		hr = AutoWrap( DISPATCH_METHOD, NULL, pSel, L"MoveUp", 0 );

		VARIANT x;
		x.vt = VT_BSTR;
		x.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"TEST");

		hr = AutoWrap( DISPATCH_METHOD, NULL, pSel, L"TypeText", 1, x );

	}

I work in MS Visual Studio Express 2008, on Windows XP, in C++, using pure WIN32 API.

If any other information is required ( source code or something similar ), please ask for it, I will more than gladly supply it.

Solution 2

C++

VARIANT wdCell, Count;
				
wdCell.vt = VT_I4;
wdCell.lVal = 12;
			
Count.vt = VT_I4;
Count.lVal = (int)( 4 * ( ListView_GetItemCount( GetDlgItem( hwnd, IDC_LIST1 ) ) - 40 )  + 1 );

hr = AutoWrap( DISPATCH_METHOD, NULL, pSel, L"MoveLeft", 2, Count, wdCell );
