[Plugin Library] Win32API and Win32OLE so files
-
i see win32api.so is related to a specific version of sketchup
is there a new version, available or necessary, for sketchup 2013?

Not a plugin. These files may be required by other plugins.
The plugin author should list either of these files as a dependancy, if you need them:
( You do not need these if you have a full Ruby install, and pushed the paths to it's lib dirs into the
$LOAD_PATH
array.)

I post these because some plugins are distro'ing old versions, or some topics here at SCF have old versions.
This can be a common place for users to get up to date versions of these files. -

It is compiled with a specific version of Ruby.

At the console, check global constants:
RUBY_VERSION
and
RUBY_PATCHLEVEL
You'll see SketchUp 2013 is still the same as v8 (on the PC.)

thank you for answering
I was wondering about Ruby version for sketchup 2013, because win32API.so gives an error message in sketchup 13
require "Win32API"
or
require 'Win32API.so'
or
require 'Win32API'seems not to be compatible with sketchup 2013

(1) where is the so file on your machine ?
(2) please post the error message

Thank you Dan for this. I've tried starting with http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1120225/ruby-and-accdb-ms-access but I am getting an error:
connection = WIN32OLE.new('ADODB.Connection')
Error: #<NameError: (eval):27: uninitialized constant WIN32OLE>
Can you please help me to get started with opening a simple database myDatabase.accdb ? -
I have this directly in the SketchUp ruby console:
require 'win32ole' true if defined?(WIN32OLE); connection = WIN32OLE.new('ADODB.Connection'); end Error; #<WIN32OLERuntimeError; (eval);27;in `initialize'; unknown OLE server; `ADODB.Connection' HRESULT error code;0x800401f3 >
The link you put up did not come through.

The original links in the 2nd post still work.
(It's just that the editor has decided to encode pasted URLs, suddenly.) -
I suggest starting a new (if there is not one,) topic in the Developers Forum.

Thank you. I did as you said and started a new topic http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180%26amp;t=55202%26amp;e=0.

Did you first have the load statement:
require("win32ole")
or
require("win32ole.so")
Then you can test if the class was defined, via:
if defined?(WIN32OLE) connection = WIN32OLE.new('ADODB.Connection') # more code ... end
There is a chapter on WIN32OLE in:
[doc] Programming Ruby (The "Pick-Axe" Book) -
Did you see the link ?

Since someone is bound to ask, here are the online reference rdocs for these 2 libraries:

FYI
SketchUp 2014
-
Ruby v 2.0.0 - patchlevel 247
-
win32ole.so file is included
-
Win32API.rb file is included, which is a wrapper into the newer
DL
library, but allows the older WIn32API style calls.
%(#BF4000)[Do not copy these files from older Ruby versions into SketchUp's "Plugins" folder,
(or any of SketchUp's folders,) for versions 14 or higher !]
