EDraw Office Viewer Component

This is a viewer component that lets you view Microsoft Office generated documents.

Edraw Office Viewer Component lets you view Microsoft Office documents. The Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Visio documents can be housed in custom forms, web sites etc for viewing by others but without any features for changing anything in the documents. Thus, if you were to show document data and Excel sheet to employees of your enterprise, you can do that with this tool. They would not be able to change any data, but be informed all the same. With this office ocx it would be easy to upload or download file between server and client via HTTP/FTP. It also supports the secure HTTPS and the website with the password. You can play a slideshow in the same window without the web toolbars and the scrollbar. You would be able to play the media, animation, vedio in the PowerPoint slide file without a hitch.

There are several more features you could use to your benefit. These include Print and PrintPreview. This can be disabled or enabled. You can enable or disable them too. Accessing the hyperlinks in the documents is no problem and you could insert image, text, html, rtf to your Word document with the office automation interfaces too. The component offers rulers, gridlines, toolbars, menubars, titlebar, caption and color scheme etc to make placing the viewer and the document inside it quite easily. Interestingly you could place multiple instances of the player in your show window. The control is lightweight and flexible. Developers can make imaginative uses of the MS Office in their applications.

Edraw Office Viewer Component contains a standard ActiveX control that acts as an ActiveX document container for hosting Office documents (including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Visio documents) in a custom form or Web page. The control is lightweight and flexible, and gives developers new possibilities for using Office in a custom solution.
The control is designed to handle specific issues that make using ActiveX documents from a non-top-level host window difficult, and serves as a starting place for constructing your own embedded object file viewer or editor as an ActiveX control.
It is a great solution for companies wishing to display read-only Word document data and Excel sheet to their employees while restricting modifications to the underlying data.
