Getting and Setting Properties

You can set and get properties from the server using normal Ruby hash notation. For example, to set the Rotation property in an Excel chart, you might write

excel = WIN32OLE.new("excel.application")
excelchart = excel.Charts.Add()
...
excelchart['Rotation'] = 45
puts excelchart['Rotation']

An OLE object's parameters are automatically set up as attributes of the WIN32OLE object. This means that you can set a parameter by assigning to an object attribute.

excelchart.rotation = 45
r = excelchart.rotation

Because these attributes are conventional Ruby accessor methods, attribute names cannot start with a capital letter. In this example, we have to use rotation instead of Rotation.
