DSO file fails with 0 byte docx file

[prem1234]

Hi
I am using dsofile.dll(latest, which supports office 2007 formats)
to set attributes of office files. The dsofile fails with .docx files
if the file size is 0 bytes(Such a file can be created by
rightclicking on desktop and selecting New ->Microsoft Office Word
Document. If you right click on the created file and select
Properties, It shows Size as 0 bytes). Is there any fix/workaround
available for this bug?

Thanks in advance,

If you mean dsofile.dll then there is not an updated version. You can work
with the xml packages in lots of other ways.

I am using dsofile.dll (ver 2.1) to read ole file property. But we did not use com dsofile dll. Actually we re-wrote our won general dll(not com). Using our own dll, we were able to read ole property of doc file but we had problem reading docx property. Here is code snippets of creating IStorage object.

extern "C" TZDSOFILE_API IStorage* GetIStorage(char *filename)

{

//Translate filename to Unicode.

WCHAR wcFilename[1024];

setlocale( LC_ALL, "" );

int i = mbstowcs(wcFilename, filename, strlen(filename));

setlocale( LC_ALL, "C" );

wcFilename = 0;

IStorage *pStorage = NULL;

HRESULT hr;

// Open the document as an OLE compound document.

hr = ::StgOpenStorage(wcFilename, NULL,

STGM_READ | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE, NULL, 0, &pStorage);

if(SUCCEEDED(hr))

return pStorage;

else

return NULL;

}

The object of IStorage is created successfully for doc file while for docx(office 2007) this object is null. What are ways to create IStorage object for docx file?

Thanks in advance

Unlike the doc format, the docx format is not a Structured Storage document.
The docx file is actually a .zip file with XML content in it.
