Example

In the following example, start the following script with a CTRL manager. The script has to be copied in <proj_path>/scripts. This opens an Excel sheet with a table and afterwards a diagram that rotates:

main()
{
  idispatch objXL;
  idispatch objXLchart;
  idispatch objXLWorkbooks;
  idispatch objXLWorkbook;
  int i;
  dyn_int array;
  anytype dummy;
  array = makeDynInt(1,2,3);
  objXL = createComObject("Excel.Application");
  objXL.Visible = -1;
  objXLWorkbooks = objXL.Workbooks;
  objXLWorkbook = objXLWorkbooks.Add(dummy);
  releaseComObject(objXLWorkbook);
  releaseComObject(objXLWorkbooks);
  objXL.Range("A1:C1", dummy).Value = array;
  objXL.Range("A1:C1", dummy).Select();
  objXLchart = objXL.Charts.Add(dummy, dummy, dummy, dummy);
  objXLchart.Visible = -1;
  objXLchart.Type = -4100; //xl3DColumn 
  //xl3DColumn is an Excel-defined constant of value = -4100.
  for (i = 30; i<=180; i = i + 10)
  {
    delay(0,800);
    objXLchart.Rotation = i;
  }
  objXL.Visible = 0;
  releaseComObject(objXLchart);
  releaseComObject(objXL);
  delay(20);
}
