Greetings,
Has anyone experienced such a behavior? It happens intermittently for
some spreadsheets in some circumstances and I cannot figure out why.
Also I couldn't find any details about xlfGetDef function.
If anyone knows could you please point me to?
Here are some details.
The following function call inside FunctionCall::callerName() returns
xName->xltype = 16 meaning error:
Excel(xlfGetDef, &xName, 1, FunctionCall::instance().callerAddress());
The function returns an empty string in such a case. This may result in
duplicate object keys defined in different cells, which is totally
undesirable. So my questions are:
1. Does anyone know why the function fails?
2. Why ObjectHandler doesn't handle a possible error condition?
3. Wouldn't it better to return FunctionCall::instance().callerAddress()
instead of an empty string in such a case?
Thanks,
Slava Mazur
