XLGetSelectedCell

Post by AndrewT » Mon May 18, 2020 2:59 pm

I have a new program using the XLGetSelectedCell command and it works on my computer (Windows 10, Excel 2016) when run from MS, but when I compile the program and run it doesn't return values and doesn't throw an error. I am running MS V15.0.08.

Upon further investigation, I noticed a discrepancy between the command reference and the code builder. In the command reference it says "XLGetSeletedCell>XLBookHandle,SheetName,row,column" and in the code builder the format is "XLGetSeletedCell>XLBookHandle,value,row,column".

Wondering if this is a known bug, or if it is unique to me.

**Update**
Upgrading to V15.0.09 seems to have fixed the compiled program.

Still a discrepancy between the Code Builder and Command Reference. Looks like the Code Builder format is the correct one.

Hi,

Yes, you are right - the correct definition is:

XLGetSeletedCell>XLBookHandle,value,row,column

I have update the manual accordingly:
