Word Document in a WebBrowser control

[arruman]

Hi everybody,

I have a Word document in a WebBrowser. I modify the doc and save it with another name in another path. Finally I close my form and put my doc as nothing. My problem is that a dialog box appears sugesting me saving the changes (the changes done in the initial path) but i have already saved my document so I always want to select "No", how can I avoid this dialog box? Or if it isn't possible, how can I automatize this action?

(The dialog box appears by defect)

Thanks a lot and sorry for my english, it isn't my mother tongue.

A Word document in a WebBrowser?

Where is the word document supposed to save to??

[arruman]

I've the word document (only read) saved in MyDocuments and show it in a WebBrowser control. After modify it I save it as another one in another path...

Do u need more information?

Thanks!

ok,

since you are using vb.net, you can, of course open a word document, using activeX:

dim Obj1 as object
Obj1 = createobject("word.application")
obj1.open("yourfile.doc")
obj1.activedocument.saveas("OtherName.doc")
obj1.visible=true

This will open a word instance, showing the document. Still, the word instance will be shown to the user, but the document will be opened from the server, and saved in the server (for what you might need some privileges). I dont remember, but my guess is that you can embed this 'Obj1' to some kind of OLE control in your webform.

Thank u kadghar, but OLE container control is not available for WinForms in VB 2005, this is the cause to use a WebBrowser... Besides I get my document, the problem is in the final dialog box remembering me to save when I have saved before...

[kadghar]

oh, that's easy, you can use the same code above. Just change the DisplayAlerts property to false:

Obj1.DisplayAlerts = False

I have tried to apply this code in my project without success.

Here is my code:

Dim WordApp As New MSWord.Application
Dim doc As MSWord.Document
Dim docobj As Object
 
Private Sub Form_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
   Dim document As System.Windows.Forms.HtmlDocument
   Dim strFileName As String = ("c:\myword.doc")
   WebBrowser1.Navigate(strFileName)
   document = WebBrowser1.Document
   WordApplication.DisplayAlerts = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone
End Sub
 
 
Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
   docobj = Me.WebBrowser1.ActiveXInstance.document
   If TypeOf (docobj) Is MSWord.Document Then
       doc = docobj
       doc.SaveAs("c:\anotherword.doc")
   End If
End Sub
 
Public Sub Close_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmd_Volver.Click
   WebBrowser1.Navigate("about:blank")
   doc=nothing
   docobj=nothing
   WordApp.Quit()
   WodApp=Nothing
End Sub
 

After the form is closed appears the dialog as always... I don't know if it's necessary to definy WordApp but I tried it to use DisplayAlerts.

I hope u will can help me... Thank u very much for your time and your interest.

yes,

the only way to disable alerts, its with the application. This will do:

WordApp.DisplayAlerts = False
