Hi all, this has been covered before, though I can't find any usefull links to examples. I would like to embed an existing MS Office (Excel or Word) document into a Delphi application, and control it programmatically while loaded (and visible) as part of my app - NOT in a separate window:
- I've tried TOleContainer - which works for displaying many sorts of ActiveX content, but then I can't seem to control it (set Zoom factor, show/hide tabcontrol, read/write data etc.) - Also, I've tried TExcelApplication and TExcelWorkbook - these allow me to control/manipulate the file but it will be launched in a new window or stay hidden, depending on the Visible property. Most (all?) references I found so far cover either the first OR the latter, whereas most documentation is found on the latter anyway (Deborah Pate's, Expert-Exchange, Delphi newsgroups and many others). Delphi Built-in Help doesn't provide me with any example neither. What I'm looking for, is these to features combined. Obviously I prefer the TxxxApplication approach, as it uses early binding. Using TurboDelphi / BDS2006 Thanks for any insights, Justus Janssen
