Open any Document in the front pannel

[Miquel G.]

Hi,

There is any way to open any type of document (.doc, .pdf and so on) in a defined window in the front pannel? (An AxtiveX control or someting like that?

I want to be able to open them in the default front pannel of my application. Exempes will be helpful

Thanks

I don't think there's a generic ActiveX container that will allow you to load anything into it.

What you might look into is SubPanels. If you create a SubPanel on your main VI, you can create a subVI with the approprite ActiveX container for each document type and load the subVI into the SubPanel as needed.

I don't have any examples of this, but if you look through the Example Finder, you can find both SubPanel and ActiveX examples that ship with LabVIEW.
