pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT25 Jul 2016 13:05:00 Z15 Jul 2016 14:35:00 ZHi There are a few posts re this issue circa 2012 - but there was no solution - and I think it might be out of scope for WinDev The requirement is a Word document embedded in a WinDev window (e.g. in VB ' Create a new Word Document... OLE1.CreateEmbed vbNullString, "Word.Document"). So it is possible in VB etc - and I also did this in some other 4GL many many years ago. It is important that the Word object is embedded to maintain proper work-flow and ensure that the document is stored in the database. The Controlling Word example with the OLE cWord class is not sufficient (as there are 2 threads controlling the Document - Word and WinDev/OLE). I suspect that there is no easy, direct way of doing this in WinDev. I guess I could just use VB for this bit - and ShellExecute - but it seems a bit clumsy. Has anyone else resolved this? I'm still using WinDev 19 but I thought there might be a better approach - i.e. - is there a clever way of integrating a Vb or .Net screen with WinDev? TIA for any input or suggestions.
