Re: [platform-swt-dev] Trouble instantiating ActiveX control under SWT

["Devon Berry" <dmindsi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for looking into this with me.  I have entered a bug report:  
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72320

In the mean time, I'm still fighting with other methods of getting Word 
support:

- Directly using Word.Document in an OleControlSite is giving me the 
behavior described in this thread: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.swt/msg05332.html
- Wrapping Word in Shell.Explorer is failing to inplaceactivate on my 
clients boxes (still trying to figure out why), and enabling/disabling items 
on the command bars is not showing up until the next time Word opens 
(whereas it shows up immediately in Excel)
- Using Word.Document as an OleClientSite overrides menus (which I don't 
want) and doesn't show scrollbars (I should be able to address this)

Hopefully, I can find something that will work nicely.
