QAxWidget("Word.Application") does not open Word inside the widget

enufsenuf

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

Eddy

maybe this "thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/1871 can help you further?

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);
