OLE Integration with FileNet

Does any one have any ideas on how can I integrate FileNet imaging software "Watermark" through OLE
with Oracle Forms 4.5 and above , in order to get the full functionality of that software,
using Visual Basic I did that through CreateObject statement.
using set statement I can control any function like scanning, setting document properties, ...
thank you.

what I really want is to implement the following VBCode using Oracle , I've tried but it did not work the way I want, because the way you are Starting OLE Server is different

Public Sub CustomizeWorkspace()
      Dim wmMainWindow As Object
      Dim wmApp As Object

      set wmApp=CreateObject("Watermark.Application")
Set wmMainWindow = g_wmWorkspace.MainWindow
      ' set the caption of the window
      wmMainWindow.Caption = "Out of Place Watermark Workspace"
      ' only show toolbars (no menu)
      wmMainWindow.ShowUI (2 Or 4)
      wmMainWindow.ShowWindow (2 Or 64)
'Start Scanning
wmApp.scan StartPage, Increment, MaxPages, Flags
'OCR The Current Page and Set user Index Fields
wmApp.Document.UserIndex("Name") =wmApp.OCR CurrentPage, PageCount
      Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
      If (Err) Then MsgBox Err.Description

End Sub

forget about error handler, and all other accessories, the thing i want is how to start OLE server, passing commands from my program to OLE.
Thanks.

Hi,

I can't test what the code below but I think that's the way I would do it...

Declare
application ole2.obj_type

begin
-- That will start an ole server.
application := ole2.create_obj('WaterMark.Application');

/*
** Here use ole2 built-in functions to call functions, get properties...etc..etc...
*/
-- that will stop the ole server
ole2.release_obj(application);

end;
