The following code works great in VB6:
' Select a range of text and change the character style
myInDesign.Select myTextFrame.ParentStory.TextStyleRanges.Item(1)
Set eeff = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1)
eeff.CharacterStyle = curCharStyle
But I get an automation error when I do the same thing in VB.NET...
Dim foundobject
inDesignApp.Select(myTextFrame.ParentStory.TextStyleRanges.Item(1))
foundobject = inDesignApp.Selection.Item(1)
foundobject.CharacterStyle = curCharStyle ' ERROR HERE!!!
The first two lines work fine, but the last line gives me the following error:
An unhandled exception of
type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in
microsoft.visualbasic.dll
Additional information: Unspecified error
I have tried several things, but none work? I assume it is a casting issue, but I do not know what type will be returned by search. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dean.
