OLE Control

Hi Friends,

In my Vb Application, I'm opening a Word Document in OLE Control.............But i'm unable to navigate or move to other
pages in the document by using either mouse or arrow keys.....The Scroll bars are not at all coming...............Only the first page is
being displayed in the OLE Control................How can i get the scroll bars or atleast how can i navigate thru other pages also....

It's very urgent..................please help me..............

Thanks
Monica

I am also facing excatly the same problem as u r facing. But as far as going to the next page is concerned you can use pageup and pagedown key of the keyboard.
I will update the status as soon as i found the solution for scroll bar,keyup and keydown functionality.thanx.

Hi Monica,

here is the solution for u'r problem. Try to use the OLE container DoVerb property in the form load event as shown below:

Form_Load()
oleSpecs.DoVerb -1
oleSpecs.object.ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
oleSpecs.object.ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
End Sub

for more details on this go to MSDN help....................
do write me, if you found it work properly. thanx

Now i am facing some problem in trapping the escape key on the object a OLE container contains. if u have any idea ...........
do write me ASAP...................................

It's better to use COM. You will be able to do everything you want with your Word Document. These are some steps:
1.Run MS Word. Go to Tools, Macro, Record New Macro, do something, like Open Document, Find something, Replace with somthing.
2. Stop recording Macro. Through Tools, Macro, Macros highlight your new Macro and click edit. You'll see everything you did in VB Code.
3. Start new VB project, Add "Microsoft Word 8.0 (or 9.0) Object Library" reference to your project.
4. Place Command1 button on the form and add this code to Click event procedure:

private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim objWord as Word.Application
Dim strWordDocumentName as string
set Word = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Word.Application.Visible = true
Word.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
strWordDocumentName = "C:\....MyDocumentName.doc" 'replace it with real name
Word.Documents.Open FileName:=strWordDocumentName
End Sub



5. You can add by copying from Macro everything you are interested in into this procedure.
