Carolyn,
Thanx so much for your
prompt reply. I’ll take a look at the
links you provided. What’s wrong with asking this question on this newsgroup
though? Isn’t this an SWT newsgroup? Or did you mean that I should have asked
my question on the other newsgroup ALSO?
Thanx again,
-
Kalman

Embedding microsoft word inside an application
Hi, Kalman.
Try
looking at this snippet:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet157.java?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
For
more info, read this article:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-ActiveX%20Support%20in%20SWT/ActiveX%20Support%20in%20SWT.html
For
other examples of using the ActiveX/OLE support in SWT, see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-swt-home/dev.html#snippets
And
for a complete example of embedding IE, download the eclipse example pulg-ins
(they are on the same page that you downloaded eclipse from - just scroll down
a bit more), restart eclipse with the -clean parameter, and go to Window ->
Show View -> Other... SWT Examples -- OLE Web Browser.
In
future, please ask for help on the SWT Newsgroup:
news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.platform.swt
Good
luck,
Carolyn

[platform-swt-dev] Embedding microsoft word
inside an application
|
|
Hi, group.
I need to embed an OLE object in my application,
namely a Microsoft word document. I need the user to type stuff in there and
then be able to save it to the database. I would love to just simply use the
Program class, but the problem with using it is that I totally lose control of
what’s going on once word launches. Therefore, I guess the only way to do it is
through OLE stuff.
Does anyone have a simple to follow example that works
on windows XP? So, I need to have a regular Composite that say has a hyperlink
that says Create Word Document, which then brings up word, allows the user to
type stuff in and then saves the contents (probably as a byte array).
I heard that this behavior should be pretty straight
forward with SWT, but so far have not seen any examples that actually work.
Thanx,
- Kalman
