Interop with OpenOffice?

[Lloyd Dupont]

In my application I would like to have a powerfull text editor.
RichTextBox falls a bit short of it.

I cannot assume my application's user would have MS-Word (it's not standart
part of the OS, hey!)

Is there any ways / examples of embedding OpenOffice TextControl in .NET?

Hello,

I've recently read about support for C# in OpenOffice 2.0. So you don't
even need COM to connect to OpenOffice 2.0. Documentation can be found in
the Developer's Guide, chapter 3.4. Since OpenOffice 2.0 has not been
released so far (except the beta version), you may also use Managed C++ to
create some wrappers.

greets

thanks for that!
yep I found this section but currently the don't even speak about .NET, I
guess best thing is to wait for 2.0 (OpenOffice 2.0, that is)....
