Automation

[Guest]

Hello All,

I need to implement a form of automation between my C# MDI app and MS Word.
Is there a way to actually open up a Word doc in an MDI (like a child) and
make it look like a Word Plugin (for lack of a better description) within my
MDI app?

Thanks for your time,
John-

John,

Without some serious hacking, no, it's not possible.

The only way I can think of doing this legitimately would be to
implement the active document interfaces, making your application an active
document container. There is support in MFC for this, but not .NET.

You can find more information about Active Document Containers at:

Hope this helps.
