    Hello,
    I try to have MS Word visible inside a QAxWidget (with all menu bars, pull-downs etc), but for some reason,
    it always opens externally.

    @
    AxApplication = new QAxWidget(QString::fromUtf8("Word.Application"),0);
    AxApplication->dynamicCall("Visible", true );
    @

    If fact, after the dynamicCall, it opens Word as a separate application.

    If I call QAxWidget with a word document directly, it works (but then, I don't see the menu bars of Word).
    @
    AxApplication = new QAxWidget(QString::fromUtf8("c:\temp\xxx.doc"),0);
    @

    I checked many different versions I found in various topics, but I never
    succeeded to open word inside the Widget. All examples I found on the Qt network
    or help do not deal with Excel or Word (inside a Widget). I can open most
    other applications inside.

    Does anyone have a clue?

    Thanks in advance

        For excel I used next code:

        @QAxObject *excel = new QAxObject ( "Excel.Application");
        excel->dynamicCall( "SetVisible(bool)", false );@

        Yes, I had other class, but SetVisible(bool) - it is funcition of VBA - if I not mistaken.

          I'd really love to follow this question...
          Did you find any solution already?
          How about PowerPoint?

          Thank you very much...

            solution is pretty easy :-)
            you have to setControl after dialog->show();

            QDialog * dialog = new QDialog(this);
            QVBoxLayout *l = new QVBoxLayout;
            dialog->setLayout(l);

            QAxWidget* wordDocument = new QAxWidget ("Word.Document", dialog);
            l->addWidget(wordDocument);
            dialog->show();

            wordDocument->setControl (path);
