Microsoft Word in Front panel using Active X

[sim.g]

Hi guys!

I'm quite progressing on my project but now I need to control Word via Active automations (in addition if the Office report Tool kit!

On my front panel need tro preview a .Doc file which includes tables.

So in this way I decided to try to have word or word viewer displayed on the front panel, but I'm unable to do It I can only remote launch word from labview but it is on a separate window!

I tryed it using the ActiveX container on the front panel linked to a Word document object but it's not working!

So anybody know how can i display it on the front panel? not necessary with word but i just need to preview a .Doc file on the front panel!

Thanks very much!

Best regards

Simon

I just did a test:

Use a Web Browser ActiveX and load the document as a URL. It works. 🙂

Using the web browser control as Yamaeda mentioned is the way to go. The reason it doesn't work using the ActiveX container is because you explicitly need an OCX. The ActiveX objects that you see are for Word's ActiveX Server, which is a different beast. There is no official support for an OCX control for Office 2003 and earlier. Not sure about 2007. There are, however, third-party OCX controls.
