some tuppences:Is it possible to "embed" a Word document with-in a PHP-GTK app (Windows)? I'm thinking of the way Internet Explorer does it. Then to have a button to Save the document to the harddrive, or a Print button which would somehow cause the Word Doc to be printed.Any thoughts?
- from within Visual Basic for (microsoft) Applications (VBA), this is done with 'OLE Automation'. You can read a bit about it if you have Word, press alt_f11 (or: extra/macro/visual basic editor), go to the help and fo a search on 'OLE'. I'm quite sure the internet explorer uses this to embed word etc. The fact that other browsers do not embed office documents may indicate that it is hard to do this from outside a VBA-enabled prog (but it may also indicate that they do not want to facilitate MS Office).
- i once made a VBA macro for Excel and it only worked on my pc, on another pc i had to make it again with new links to the libraries because the paths to the libraries were different. So keep an eye on portability.
