如何从xll调用xlcOnTime

Question

基本上是尝试在C++ I don't want my Excel Add-In to return an array (instead I need a UDF to change other cells)中复制以下VBA代码，但在系统计时器函数中对Excel4(xlcOnTime，&timer2，2，&now，cmd)的调用返回代码为2，即无法设置Excel的计时器。有什么想法吗？我正在尝试将我的外接程序限制为1，并且使用c++代码。我可以通过两个插件来解决这个问题，一个在C++中，另一个在VBA中，但我不愿意这样做。

namespace {
  UINT timer1 = 0;
  XLOPER timer2;
  XLOPER now;
};

//
//this function is xlfRegister as ApplicationOnTime
//
int __stdcall application_on_time()
{
  XLOPER ret;
  XLOPER ref;
  XLOPER value;
  //define the destination cells to be changed
  ref.xltype = xltypeSRef;
  ref.val.sref.count = 1;
  ref.val.sref.ref.rwFirst = 10;
  ref.val.sref.ref.rwLast = 12;
  ref.val.sref.ref.colFirst = 10;
  ref.val.sref.ref.colLast = 20;

  //the values
  value.xltype = xltypeMulti;
  value.val.array.columns = 2;
  value.val.array.rows = 3;
  value.val.array.lparray = new XLOPER[6];
  (value.val.array.lparray[0]).xltype = xltypeNum;
  (value.val.array.lparray[0]).val.num = 9991;
  (value.val.array.lparray[1]).xltype = xltypeNum;
  (value.val.array.lparray[1]).val.num = 9992;
  (value.val.array.lparray[2]).xltype = xltypeNum;
  (value.val.array.lparray[2]).val.num = 9993;
  (value.val.array.lparray[3]).xltype = xltypeNum;
  (value.val.array.lparray[3]).val.num = 9994;
  (value.val.array.lparray[4]).xltype = xltypeNum;
  (value.val.array.lparray[4]).val.num = 9995;
  (value.val.array.lparray[5]).xltype = xltypeNum;
  (value.val.array.lparray[5]).val.num = 9996;

  //set the value to the cell
  int xlret = Excel4(xlSet, &ret, 2, &ref, &value);

  printf("xlret is %d", xlret);

  return 0;
}

//xlfRegister as a command TestUserCommand, to be
//called from a button on Excel, with VBA code
//Application.run("TestUserCommand")
int __stdcall test_user_command()
{
  LPXLOPER now = new XLOPER;
  LPXLOPER cmd = new XLOPER;
  cmd->xltype = xltypeStr;
  cmd->val.str = XLUtil::MakeExcelString("ApplicationOnTime");

  Excel4(xlfNow, now, 0, NULL);

  timer2.xltype = xltypeInt;
  timer2.val.num = 0;
  int xlret = Excel4(xlcOnTime, &timer3, 2, now, cmd);
  //xlret is 0, the ApplicationOnTime command would be triggered
  //and the cells K11:U13 value get set as expected
  printf("xlret is %d", xlret);
  return 0;
}

//xlfRegister as a function TestUserFunction, to be
//called from a cell formula on Excel
//=TestUserFunction(1)
char * __stdcall test_user_function(xloper *pxl)
{
  static bool first = true;
  if (first) {
    timer2.xltype = xltypeInt;
    timer2.val.num = 0;
    first = false;
  }

  if (timer1 > 0)
  {
    UINT tmp = timer1;
    timer1 = 0;
    KillTimer(NULL, tmp);
  }

  Excel4(xlfNow, &now, 0, NULL);

  //set the system timer to triggers the MyTimerProc,
  //and MyTimerProc is triggered successfully but no luck
  //in setting the second timer that is excel
  //inside MyTimerProc
  timer1 = SetTimer(NULL, 0, 1, (TIMERPROC)MyTimerProc);

  return 0;
}

//this is the procedure referred to in the SetTimer call
void CALLBACK MyTimerProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, UINT idTimer, DWORD dwTime)
{
  if (timer1 > 0)
  {
    UINT tmp = timer1;
    timer1 = 0;
    KillTimer(NULL, tmp);
  }
  LPXLOPER12 cmd = new XLOPER12;
  cmd->xltype = xltypeStr;
  cmd->val.str = (XCHAR *)XLUtil::MakeExcelString("ApplicationOnTime");
  now.val.num = now.val.num + 10.0 / (60.0 * 60.0 * 24.0);
  int xlret = Excel4(xlcOnTime, &timer2, 2, &now, cmd);
  //xlret is 2, indicates invalid function, no luck. the ApplicationOnTime
  //command won't be triggered

  //try to call the application_on_time function to set the values to cell
  //to no effect
  application_on_time();

}

问题是，您的C++代码并不完全等同于另一个问题中的VBA代码。在VBA中通过Excel计时器运行命令

Application.OnTime

它使用Excel OnTime自动化调用。在C++中，你有

Excel4(xlcOnTime, &timer2, 2, &now, cmd);

它是XLL接口函数xlcOnTime。Excel对XLL函数调用有非常严格的限制；它们只能在特定的上下文中调用。例如，xlcOnTime可以从用户定义的Excel命令调用，但不能从Windows计时器回调调用。

您需要做的是在C++中使用完全等效的VBA代码，这意味着在C++中使用自动化。MSDN和其他资源提供了几个示例，说明如何在C++中对Excel使用自动化。他们经常使用AutoWrap函数来调用自动化，所以你需要类似这样的东西

AutoWrap(DISPATCH_METHOD, &result, pXlApp, L"OnTime", 1, COleVariant("ApplicationOnTime"));

自动化调用没有与xlc函数相同的限制，因此从Windows计时器回调发出的此类调用将被Excel接受，并运行您的ApplicationOnTime命令。

我很确定原因是您不能从调用线程以外的线程调用任何Excel4函数。因为您是从TIMERPROC内部回调的，所以您可能处于事件线程或其他时间线程中。诚然，这是一个巨大的痛苦，但这就是它的方式。
