[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Excel menus don't show

[bianca.thelen@xxxxxxxx (Bianca)]

Hello,

in my application I open Word and Excel documents in one of my views. When 
I open Word documents everything works fine. But when I open Excel 
documents (using the exact same code) I cannot open the Excel menus. They 
are there but they don't drop down. Does anybody know, what the problem 
might be?

Code to open (it's divided into two methods for internal reasons - I tried 
putting all the code into createPartControl for this example but then the 
Excel sheet wouldn't show):
@Override
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
 Composite top = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
 top.setLayout(new FillLayout());
 OleFrame oleFrame = new OleFrame(top, SWT.NONE);
}

private int showDocument() {
 File docFile = new File("path to xls");
 site = new OleClientSite(oleFrame, SWT.NONE, docFile);
 return site.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_SHOW);
}

Excel-Version: Excel 2003 SP 3 (German)

Eclipse-Version: 3.3.2 M20080221-1800

Kind regards
Bianca
