Determining getting a handle on the Word Instance in the browser.

2 New Member
This was cross-posted on the Javascript side of the forums, but this might be something that needs the expertise of a Microsoft developer.

I am trying to get the handle on the embedded Word2003 instance that appears inline when opening a document in IE inside a frameset.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. wordObject = GetObject("Word.Application");
returns an error even when I can clearly see the Word instance displaying a document loaded into the <IFRAME> section of a page, and the WINWORD.EXE process running.

The documentation on this method says it will return the object, in this case the Application object for any running instances of Word. Am I completely doing this wrong, or is there something special about the IE-embedded Office objects?

Hey folks, I've got a Windows C# application that generates a .doc file and then allows the user to preview it. I generate the file using the StreamWriter class and do a flush() and a close() after writing the last line (which always get runned). Because the intended users have all versions of MS Word ranging from Word 97 to 2003, I chose not to go with a dll object modeling approach and instead

I have a table that I want to have a set width and height. The table has a title and the text may be larger than the width of the table. If the text is too large to fit into the table, it either line breaks or stretches the width of the table depending on how large a word is. For example, "this is a really long title" would line break, and "this_is_a_really_long_word", would stretch the width of the title I need the tables to be an...

Hi, I have an application that will run a method depending on whether or not there is an instance of MS Word currently open. How do I determine whether or not an executable from another program is running? I am new to VB, but I suspect that this should definitely be 5 lines or less.

I am writing a service that monitors when a particular app is started. Works, but I need to get the user who is currently logged in, and of course Environment.UserName returns the service logon (NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM). I understand that when the service starts, no user may be logged in, but that's ok, as the app I am monitoring can only be run by a logged in user. Do I need to use WMI to get the user context of Explorer.exe or is there a...

Hi Everyone, I have a need to load a document in a browser (in an iFrame) and then get control of that instance of the ActiveXObject. I need to do things like formatting and whatnot. I have come up with two options, but both pose questions I can't seem to find any documentation on. 1) I can easily load the document in a normal fashion by setting the src to a WEBDAV url. MS Word loads fine imbedded in the browser (in the IFRAME) but...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
