How do I open/view Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in a VB.NET Form? remember to mark the replies as answers if they and unmark them if they provide. Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
View 1 RepliesI 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.
I have been searching and trying for quite some time now but did not yet find the right way to solve my problem.Here is what I want to do:- open powerpoint with a file (an disable the UI of my app while it is opened)- make some changes to this file- save it with a new name- get notice when Powerpoint is closed (either by my app once the automatic changes are done or if the user quits Powerpoint)- enable UI once Powerpoint is closedThe notice is my problem. Is there an easy way (other than timers that check the process list) to get notice of when my started Powerpoint-Process is closed/quit?

View 1 RepliesI'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?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to copy a Range from Excel and Paste the information in powerpoint in either the HTML or the default format, however, I am having some difficulties. I am able to get the code to work for pasting the Range as an OLE Object but nothing else. The problem with doing this is that having the embedded excel documents in the powerpoint makes the file extremely large and unstable. I just need to be able to paste the information without the embedded information where it is editable (so, not as a bitmap or picture).

I'm using vb.net to check that certain Excel or Word documents exist in a folder.
EG
strFileFound = Dir("C:TestFolderMyExcelFile.xls")
strFileFound = Dir("C:TestFolderMyWordDoc.doc")
If the documents are created using Excel 97 or Word 97 the files are found. If the the documents are created using Excel 2007 or Word 2007 the files are not found.
I have checked the permissions between the two different versions and they appear to be the same.
why Dir dosen't work with Excel 2007 and Word 2007 files?

I have a function on my program that allows a user to load a listbox filled with words that are matched with words inside a databank. The databank is filled with 2 string arrays and file of .jpg Pictures. The Arrays attached to each word inside the listbox are approximately one page. Each page is two paragraphs of Text(string Array) and one Picture(20Kbytes).My problem is this. When the user selects the option print all, the listbox with approximately 10255 words is selected and begins to fill a Microsoft Word Document.Because the alotted amount of space needed for the MS Word Document is approximately 5 Gbytes,I need to open about 10 Documents and insert the String Array's and Pictures into each document one at a time.Is there anyway to check the filesize of the Open Document before saving the document.This way I could check the open document inside the algorithm for 512 Mbytes of memory and save the document before the size gets above 512 Mbytes.[code]
View 2 RepliesI 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 have a excel report with one sheet called "Export Report". I then add 4 more sheets and rename them accordingly.
I then need to search in "Export Report" in column A, but unknown row for the word 'Definitions' and then once found I have to copy 'Definitions' and 10 rows belows it, to the sheet called "Definitions"
How can I achieve this? At the moment I am stuck at the point of finding the word 'Definitions'. I get error Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A9C64 at this line:
LastRow = xlApp.Workbooks(1).Worksheets("Export Report").Cells(xlApp.Workbooks(1).Worksheets("Export Report").rows.count, "A").end(Excel.XlDirection.xlUp).row + 1

I have a program that at one point will open word and export some info. That works perfect, however I have just noticed each day I have a number of winwords open (can only see them in task manager so they are hidden). It appears that everytime I start the program it opens a hidden winword session. It has nothing to do with the code I have on the form, it opens before any code I have written is executed.
View 3 RepliesI am selecting a directory and then I want to loop through the files and check which xls and which docs are password protected and drop their names into column A in excel. I haven't gotten to the part of inserting into excel yet.I am trying to figure out how to check for password protected.

how to open MS Word and MS Excel in VB2010?
An can you give any site for referrence.
I have created an addin specifically for Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 that will cature any save attempts made by the end-user. The purpose is it analyse where the file is saved to and to take a copy of the saved file for version control.I have created a module level object mobjPPT which contains my PowerPoint application object and have assigned the PresentationBeforeSave event to my sub 'PowerPointSave'. Everything works up until the point it hits the 'Pres.SaveAs' line and throws the following error:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Presentation (unknown member) : Failed.
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PresentationClass.SaveAs(String FileName, PpSaveAsFileType FileFormat, MsoTriState EmbedTrueTypeFonts)
at PPTSave.Connect.PowerPointSave(Presentation Pres, Boolean& Cancel)
I have tried calling SaveAs on the mobjPPT object instead but get the same results.Here is the offending item:
Code:
Private Sub PowerPointSave(ByVal Pres As Presentation, ByRef Cancel As Boolean)
Dim dlgResult As DialogResult = Nothing
Dim dlgFilter As Microsoft.Office.Core.FileDialogFilters = Nothing

I have posted this in other parts of the forum but either im not understanding what they are saying or they arent understanding my question.My goal is to open a word document or an excel spreadsheet from within my seperate VB app. bounce some of my calculated variables and images out to specific markers in that document, and then print the document.
I can Open my office doc, I can send the test variables out the way they need to go out. I cannot get an image to go out to th open document from within my vb app.I feel like it is something relatively dumb in my code but i cannot figure it out.
[Code]...
The issue i have with that line is that even though i have made a picture object in my excel sheet called Picture1 it is not public and i cannot access any of its members to modify it.
experience on how to create an engine using C# (VB.NET is okay too) that is generic enough to handle most cases of MS Word text fields I need to fill with data I'm getting from a database? In short, I'm about to embark on this little Office automation excursion and I'm hoping a little bit of feedback here.
