I need to read some word file from my c++ project through user interface.
I'm using dev C++ and FLTK GUI tool kit.
If any of you have an idea how to read/execute word file from c++ project, please let me know.
Or if you can recommend some tools/functions that can read the word file, it would also be helpful.
Thanks much in advance.

Are you talking about a .doc file from Microsoft Word?
If so, check the Office SDK. There's a bunch of stuff there.
Yes. I mean .doc file.
But how to call/execute from C++ coding?
Can you expalin in more detail?

Your terminology is a bit wonky, so I have to question if you even know what you want. (Executing is the not the same as reading, and word.exe is not the same as a word document file.) You can't execute something that isn't...an executable. Which a doc file isn't.
With that said, I'll rephrase your question as how can I have my program open and read a word doc file?
The answer is, reverse engineer Microsoft's proprietary file format and reimplement it. That's why Microsoft can charge whatever huge price they charge for Word. Doc files are a proprietary format, so the only one who can guarantee properly opening those files is Microsoft and their own software. A few others have made importers/exporters for Word documents. They had a lot of resources and money and manpower to deal with the issue.
So if you get my point, effectively you cannot.
True, but the Word SDK has a COM object that you can call from your C++ program - providing it's a Windows application.
Can you please write a short sample c++ code to call COM object?
Or where can i find the examples?
Thanks.

Dear,
for run word.exe through visual C++ project type below code:
ShellExecute(Ge tSafeHwnd(),"op en","Word.exe", NULL,NULL,1);
Be careful this function run programm that installed and be in Widows folder. if you run program or *.exe file that is not installed or in other folder you must determine destination. for example: "D:\\My folder\\Desktop \\Myprogram.exe ", and last argument show window 1=normal and 3 = maximized.
best regards,
How about from borland c++?
Which command should i use for BC++?
I think there is no such command like shellexec in Visual c++.
Please advise me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm trying to use c# to pop up a dialog box when a user attempts to close
word to prompt them if they want to exit or cancel (obviously other stuff
needs to happen based on their selection but that's the gist of it.)
I have everything set up, and it seems to work except that setting Cancel to
true and returning from my c# method appears to do nothing. Word still
closes. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello,
in a consoleapp I have a continious loop doing stuff.
Additionally I want during the loop type in characters and when the combined
chars form a word (ic 'test') I want to execute a method.
What could I use? Not Console.Read because it blocks the main loop. I would
need a asynchronous read of some kind. Anyone have a simple solution?
Thanks
