Extracting Comments from A Word component.

[Kapadia]

Hi,
I am working on a ATL Component that loads a Microsoft Word document and extracts all the text from it. As far as extracting the text is concerned it works fine. But when I extract text from the Comments that one gives in the word document, I can extract the number of comments, Author who made the comments and other relevant stuff. But I cann't extract the text in the Comments.
I am using msword9 component.
Code snippet is as follows:


theDoc = theDocuments.Open(vFileName,vTrue, vTrue, vOptional, vOptional,vOptional,vOptional,vOptional, vOptional,vOptional,vOptional,vOptional);

// Set the Readonly property of the Document to True,
// so as to avoid any change.
theDoc.SetReadOnlyRecommended(TRUE);

// Set the range of the document from Start point to End point
theRange = theDoc.Range(vStart, vEnd);

theComments = theRange.GetComments();
int iCommentCounter = theComments.GetCount();
for(int index = 0 ;index < iCommentCounter;index++)
{
CString str = theComments.GetShowBy();
theComment = theComments.Item(index);
//Fails, this should return me a single comment object of type LPDISPATCH
It gives : &quot;Unhandled Exception (Kernel32.dll):0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++ exception

str = theComment.GetAuthor();
int iValue = theComment.GetIndex(); Range objRange = theComment.GetRange();
str = objRange.GetText();
MessageBox(NULL,(LPCTSTR)str,&quot;Comments Made&quot;,MB_OK);
}


Can someone help my case. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure theese two lines are in the correct order?
CString str = theComments.GetShowBy();
theComment = theComments.Item(index); John Fill

Hi JohnFill,
Thanks for the reply but the actual problem was with the for loop. The Index Value in VB for every for loop seems to begin with the 1 and not with 0.
Since the Word object model is built in VB the VC Compiler Raised Exception when a call was made. And there seemed to be the actual problem
Any way, thanks a lot.
Hemant.
