 |
|
I would like to find out if anyone has come up with a solution for viewing word documents within a VDS Dialog.
I'm trying to create a preview window to view a word doc, which the user may then decide to go on and edit it in MS Word or simply close the dialog.
This also will help me to get information from the word.doc in the VDS Script.
Anyone had a go at this  |

Have you tried loading them into a browser window?

Hi Jules, Just tried that probably as you were responding to me. It works fine as far as I can see. Many thanks 
Can you perform an @match function in this dialog
Kind regards

In a browser element? No, it's not a list. It's literally an instance of Internet Explorer, and I guess the only reason you can display .doc files in it is because Microsoft would like .doc files to be a competitor to .pdf files for publishing documents on the Internet.

Thanks Jules, interesting point of view on Gates empire!
Anyway I tried to Add the Browser eliment to the Program I am putting together last night and got an odd error on excution of the exe.
Error was Error 14 @ line 57 (57 happens to be the end of the dialog Add section that the wizard create for you). Basically it won't let me put the Browser in at all. Strange becuase I have it implemented elsewhere in other programs perfectly fine.
Any Ideas
here is the line from my code + line above and below.
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,CANCELAA,135,670,93,24,Cancel,,DEFAULT
DIALOG ADD,BROWSER,BROWSER1,311,21,626,150,http://www

Do you have the following lines at the beginning of your program?
| Code: | external vdsbrw50.dll
#define command, browser
#define function, browser |
Of course, make sure the vdsbrw50.dll is distributed with your program.
