    Is there any possible way to open Excel.exe in QtWidget? I know the option of using QAxObject to handle Excel in Qt. But I want to open the exe in Qt Widget.

        This makes no sense. What does that even mean "open an exe in a widget"? An executable is a file. A widget is a memory fragment.

        Excel is designed to "talk to" other applications via COM. It provides an ActiveX server and Qt provides clients (QAxObject or QAxWidget for embedded controls). It's by far the easiest way to use the two together and AFAIK the only way officially supported on both sides.
