I am trying to develop a database application front end that will allow users to view (read-only) and if neccessary add selected (copies) of documents to a database. The documents can then be viewed (again read only) whilst further analysis is carried out on the document contents. Does such a control exist? I need something like a print preview which can be viewed and read.

View 1 RepliesI am currently hosting an IE Browser control in a .NET (2.0) Form and using it to load Office files such as Excel and Word thusly:[code]The hosting and loading works well except whenever I navigate to a file I am presented with a dialog that asks whether I want to save or open the file. (This is standard IE file-download behavior.) I always want to open it of course and I do not want the dialog to show.Another issue is that when I close the window that hosts the IE control and the Office doc the document does not close and remains open on disk. This means that subsequent attempts to open the same file via my app or the native office app will fail because of the sharing violation.Is there a programmatic way of avoiding this dialog and cleaning up resources afterward? I am asking for a programmatic answer because web research has only yielded solutions that entail modifying OS-level settings.
Host an Excel spreadsheet inside my application.Work rather transparently (avoid usability issues like the one described above)Avoid having to make any OS-specific changes that may affect other applications (especially icluding IE)Is zero additional cost (no licensed 3rd party libs please) Code Project and other open source resources are OK.Not mess around with the DSO Framer ActiveX control, unless a stable version is developed/discovered
I'm having some difficulty merging multiple word documents together using Microsoft Office Interop Assemblies (Office 2007) and ASP.NET 3.5. I'm able to merge the documents, but some of my formatting is missing (namely the fonts and images).
My current merge code is shown below.
private void CombineDocuments() {
object wdPageBreak = 7;
object wdStory = 6;
[code]....
I don't care necessarily how this is accomplished. It could output via PDF if it had to. I just want the formatting to carry over.
I am not an expert programmer and am just getting familiar with .NET office automation. I have two questions:
1. For me to create word documents from my code on a server, does word have to be installed on the server? My test server does not have word installed. Is there a way to have the code open word on the user's machine in this case?
2. I am trying out some code for creating word documents. It works fine on my machine. However, when I try to run it on server it gives me an error.. "Cannot create ActiveX component." Is this a permissions issue or related to the fact that the server does not have word installed?
The program allows users to insert Documents along with a bunch of their attributes into the program. The documents are stored in a relational database. One of the required functionalities is allowing the user to look for such documents. The User normally search directly for the obvious attributes of the document, like a unique ID, or it's Title. The problem is that from the search parameters is not allways known which ones will the user fill. For example the user inserts the name and version of the deocument, another time the user enters part of the Title and the person that delivered the document, or might just enter the document number and nothing else. Some of the data might even be incomplete, like title, name of the person who created the document and so on. The idea from the person who designed the system (I'm only reimplementing it) was to allow easier searches for the user, and allowing the user to search for more parameters tod with the idea that "the more parameters, the more specific results", since the results are always group of documents instead of single documents.
View 14 RepliesI am trying to make a program that will compare 2 documents. Idealy what this program would do would be to let the user define key words that he/she is looking for then hit the compare button and have those key words higlighted in both text documents. So far I have 2 button that paste stext into eather box and button that says compare this is my current code for the compare button
If tb1.Text = tb2.Text Then MsgBox("compatible!", MsgBoxStyle.Information) this works great but it only works if the text is exactly the same I just want it to pick up on words that are the same in eather box and eather A. show a message box that tells the words that are the same or better yet B. have them highlighted. I want to do this as simply as possible so if we have to leave out the key words thats ok. I am a big noob and don't know too much about VB (although I came up with that basic code myself thats about all I can do XD) so please bare with me.
I've been asked to get the page counts for documents stored as tif files. What I have now is looping through our third party software to open them and then get the page count.

View 2 RepliesMy company's main software package includes a hefty configuration library which loads on startup. This config library includes some mandatory settings which, if not supplied (via command line arguments), cause the entire application to exit.
This has never been an issue for our users, who launch the software via scripts which have the needed command line arguments supplied automatically. But sometimes when debugging our software we developers forget to specify the necessary arguments in Visual Studio's debug options; it's then very annoying to be greeted with the message Config specification invalid -- missing required parameters X, Y, and Z -- shutting down (I'm paraphrasing, of course).[code]...
I have a scheduler with multiple views. 1 day, 3 days, 5 days and 7 days.I have figured out how to scale each view and it prints correctly. What I am having problems with is how to allow the user to print these different views from one screen. I have a dropdown box with 1 day, 3, day, 5 day and 7 day. On the scheduler I have put the same procedure as Print and Print2 with just minor differences for the scaling for each view. Print Document1 and PrintDocument2 are on the second form. For some reason, no matter how I call the print document2 I end up with Printdocument1. I have checked it over and over but am getting no where. Would there be any reason I can't use multiple printdocuments on one form for printing different procedures?

I am working on a project where I need to open microsoft word documents in a form with a panel (the document will be put into a panel).I found the code to try and use API, it would not recognize the file names (yes they are valid filenames).Tried a whole bunch of stuff. Here is my current incarnation:
Dim pi As New Process
Dim i As IntPtr
pi.StartInfo.FileName = FileName[code]....
It ALWAYS starts the word document in its own window and will not redirect it to my own program.I tried to redirect the output and it gave me a message that it was not a valid win32 application.

View 2 RepliesGiven vba's fairly lamentable image manipulation abilities, I'm considering going down the VB.NET form route. My hope would be to allow some degree of interactive manipulation and then either pass the image back to vba or save it and load it in vba.I'm happy to investigate the latter part of it at length under my own steam - however, I'm not versed enough in VB.NET forms to know if calling them from (in this case) Access VBA is a practical or doable - and whether it's possible to pass data back and forth.
View 9 RepliesWe have currently upgraded our development machines to Windows 7 and Office 2007. We have a vb 2008 app that references 2003 Office components to use for mail-merging to word.We loaded up our app in the vb environment today and were instantly greeted with missing components/functions which are related to the 2003 Office components. We can update these to use the Office 2007 components/functions instead, however we are unsure whether after doing this our vb app will work with machines only with Office 2003 on. can machines with Office 2003 on work with our vb app that references Office 2007 components?
View 5 RepliesI have a problem in timers, I want to display 2 forms each one after 3 and 5, how to do that? I mean when the first form appears, after 3 seconds another one will appear, then after 5 seconds the second will appear. I have a code where someone gave me here but its for message box only, thus I modify it to put a form still does not work. Here the code I put in the timer below:
Private Sub frmblabla_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
tmrnote.Start()
Private Sub tmrnote_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrnote.Tick[code]....
I still have problem when the message box stops, it displays all the forms together. All I want is when the message box stops, then it display the first form then stop to display the second then stop to display the last. The first form must stay for 3 seconds on the screen, then after 3 seconds the second appears then after 5 seconds the last appears.
