    <p>Okay, so I'm doing some good OLE' (sorry) automation with ruby and I ran into a weird problem. I'm trying to extract some data from a Type Library. This works in VB:</p> <pre><code>Dim c As New TControlsLib.LangCombo Dim l As TControlsLib.Language Dim converter As New TControlsLib.LcidConverter c.AddAllSystemLanguages mtAllKnownLanguages, True For Each l In c.Languages Debug.Print l.DisplayName &amp; ";" &amp; converter.IsoAbbreviationFromLcid(l.Lcid) Next </code></pre> <p>TControlsLib is the Type Library (Full name: "TRADOS Controls Type Library"). I also know that mtAllKnownLanguages is a constant that equals 3.</p> <p>So, I tried to do the same in Ruby. Here's my IRB session:</p> <pre><code>irb(main):001:0&gt; require 'win32ole' =&gt; true irb(main):002:0&gt; t = "TRADOS Controls Type Library" =&gt; "TRADOS Controls Type Library" irb(main):003:0&gt; c = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new(t, "LangCombo") =&gt; LangCombo irb(main):004:0&gt; converter = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new(t, "LcidConverter") =&gt; LcidConverter irb(main):005:0&gt; c.ole_methods =&gt; [QueryInterface, AddRef, Release, GetTypeInfoCount, GetTypeInfo, GetIDsOfNames, Invoke, Enabled, Enabled, Languages, Refresh, AddSystemLanguage, SelectedItem, SelectedItem, SelectLanguage, Clear, AddAllSystemLanguages, DroppedDownHeight, DroppedDownHeight, AddCustomLanguage, AddLanguage, Type, Type, RemoveLanguage, OnSelectionChanged] irb(main):006:0&gt; c.AddAllSystemLanguages(3, true) NoMethodError: undefined method `AddAllSystemLanguages' for LangCombo:WIN32OLE_TYPE from (irb):6 </code></pre> <p>I also cannot call any other methods. In fact, it seems I can't call any Type Library methods.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
