Bug description: How to practically bring excel application as a com object to front.
Description:
------------
The statement,"$ExcelCOMObj->Application->Visible = true;", truely doesn't
work. The excel application is not brought to front. I try too many time
and so many version of PHP, that's useless all.
Therefore, I would kindly like a one of you to come to clearly
specify(state) related software versions or tell me how to config their
configurations.
I have worked for this problem for a month, there is no progression on
it.
I have seen several bugs like mine but there is no explicit answer or
solution to fix it.
The related topic : Bug #11195
My current environment :
MS-Windows XP SP.1
MS-Office XP SP.1
Apache 1.3
PHP 4.3.6
Browser : IE 5-6
Reproduce code:
---------------
$CompletedFileName = "E:\\php_rtl\\Example.xls";
$ExcelCOMObj = new COM("Excel.Application");
$ExcelCOMObj->Application->Visible = true;
$ExcelWorkBookObj =
$ExcelCOMObj->Application->Workbooks->Open($CompletedFileName);
$ExcelWorkSheetObj = $ExcelWorkBookObj->Worksheets(2);
$ExcelWorkSheetObj->Activate;
unset($ExcelWorkSheetObj);
unset($ExcelWorkBookObj);
unset($ExcelCOMObj);
Expected result:
----------------
The excel application should be brought to front.
Actual result:
--------------
There is no excel application and no error.
The excel process is alive in the Task Manager.
