finding the cell number using C++

**garywillams** · 09-28-2009, 02:23 PM

Hi,

I am new to this forum and this is my first post

.

I am writing a program to access excel spreadsheets using MFC in VS2005. I am able to create the wrapper and able to access excel files, write data into it by specifying a cell number manually.

Also I can search for data in a given range by using Range.Find() function.

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

Can someone please tell me how to get the cell number of that specific cell where the data is located.

Also is there any good tutorial or help file where I can refer to for further questions.

Thanks in advance

This is an Excel VBA Forum, not C++. You might have to wait for someone who can help.

@royUK: Can I atleast get the syntax of VB so that I will try to get a correct syntax in C++.

Thanks

What does your code return?

In VB, Range.Find returns a Range object (or Nothing if the data is not found) but I suspect in C++ it returns something like an IDispatch? If so, you should be able to use a range variable and AttachDispatch to get a reference to the found range (but I am way out of my comfort zone with C++!!)
Cross-posted here BTW.
