Office Viewer Component

I am use your ActiveX control for a client and am so far very
happy with what I’ve found, with one minor exception. Your control
implements the method

SlideShowOpenAndPlay(Document, bFullScreen, bShowWebToolbar,
bLoopUntilStopped, bShowScrollBar, WebUsername, WebPassword)
and I am wondering if there is a way of specifying a start and end slide
for a show – that is, to only play a range of slides from within a given
presentation? Something like the commandline /R=n-m switch that the
older PowerPoint Viewer application implemented.
Also, how complicated would it be to fire an event when navigating from
the last slide?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Hello, I noticed this problem, also in the VB6 sample of the latest version of your OfficeViewer component:

Open an Excel file

Now from my documents (external of the sample program) I try to open another Excel document, with classic double-click; an Excel window show up, but it’s empty and seems “locked” by the OfficeViewer component. I can’t access or close this window until I close the preview.  

There are something that I can do?

Then I tried to open another Excel file externally, from my PC (directly with double click), but attached is the result; the excel windows seems locked, can’t move / close / access.

If you would like to be able to turn off and on particular toolbars, follow the codes.

officeviewer1.ActiveDocument.commandbars (“Formatting”).visible = False

How do I insert a page break in the function of Word Automation. The instructions that I have tried do not
work:
     Set objWord = OA1.ActiveDocument
     Set objApp = OA1.Application
     objApp.Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
Can you help?

Solution:

Use the number to replace the emun.
 
Set objApp = OA1.Application
objApp.Selection.InsertBreak 7

No. Only accounts with the administrative privelege to install OCXs or DLLs can install Active-X controls (by default those accounts are part of the Administrators, Domain Administrators or Power Users groups). But the IE will allow to install the CAB file in the default safe setting.

MORE INFORMATION
This component shows allows developers to embed Office files for in-place editing and viewing. It can be easily integrated into applications written in languages that support ActiveX control such as Visual C++, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ Builder and .Net languages to view Office files inside their main solution, and give them programmatic control over the document while it is embedded. 

As you know, if you are using the dsoframer ocx to load a word document, somtime the web page will crash. Aim at the bug, we add an event to solve the issue.

Reasons: When IE parses the pages, it will construct its pages list of Object target automatically. At this same time object will automatically initialize its own. But they are synchronized, non-fixed timing. If IE called “Open” Interface of the ocx, but the ocx did not prepare its own window, it will lead to the anomaly.

Solution: Independent IE, after the ocx completes the initialization, derived an incident “NotifyCtrlReady”. In “NotifyCtrlReady” incident called Open Interface, can guarantee OCX window well prepared, there will be no anomaly.

Please referent the event interface:

[id(OA_DISPID_NOTIFYCTRLREADY), helpstring(“Ready to open document.”)]
HRESULT NotifyCtrlReady();

EDraw WebOffice Component provides some methods to upload the file to a web server.

HTTP Post

[id(36), helpstring(“Initializes the HTTP connection.”)]
   boolean HttpInit();

[id(37), helpstring(“Adds the post parameter.”)]
   boolean HttpAddpostString([in] BSTR Name, [in] BSTR Value);

[id(38), helpstring(“Adds the post file.”)]
   boolean HttpAddPostFile([in] BSTR LocalFilePath, [in] BSTR NewFileName);

[id(39), helpstring(“Executes the post action.”)]
   boolean HttpPost([in] BSTR WebUrl,[in, optional] VARIANT WebUsername, [in, optional] VARIANT WebPassword);

You can use the follow steps to save the opened office document to a web server.

Sub SavetoServer()
    ‘ASP.NET’
    OA1.HttpInit
    OA1.HttpAddpostString “author”, “anyname”
    OA1.HttpAddpostString “Data”, “2007-5-15”
    OA1.HttpAddPostFile “”, “newfilename.doc”
    OA1.HttpPost “http://localhost:1320/Samples/UploadAction.aspx”    
       
    ‘Or you can call the Save method to upload the openned file to the server directly.For examples:
    ‘OA1.Save “http://localhost:1320/Samples/UploadAction.aspx?FileName=newname”
End Sub

Note: If the first parameter of “HttpAddPostFile” is blank, the method will upload the opened office file to server.

Then you need to write a ASP.NET Get page to receipt the file.

Review the follow examples:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Xml;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public partial class UploadAction : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (Request.Params[“author”] == “anyname” && Request.Params[“Data”] == “2007-5-15”)
        {
            Response.Write(“0\n”);
            Response.Write(“We have receipted the right param from Office ActiveX Control.”);
        }
        if (Request.Files.Count == 0)
        {
            Response.Write(“0\n”);
            Response.Write(“There isn’t file to upload.”);
            Response.End();
        }
        if (Request.Files[0].ContentLength == 0)
        {
            Response.Write(“0\n”);
            Response.Write(“Failed to receipt the data.\n\n”);
            Response.End();
        }
        string fullFileName = Server.MapPath(Request.Files[0].FileName);
        Request.Files[0].SaveAs(fullFileName);
        Response.Write(“Upload Successfully.”);
        Response.End();
    }
}
