Embed MS Word in Dialog ?

[Mike J]

I try hard to search the internet to find how to embed WORD Automation into
MFC dialog based application, but with an empty hand.

Does any one can give a clue for information or sample code ?

Thank you in advance.

? Dialog-based document-views ?

Word is inherently a very complex, active document object type. It
"wants" to be in a document/view architecture, and I can't see why you'd
try to stuff such a square peg into a round hole.

Where would you put a Word document on a dialog?

There are a few ways to perform this task, mostly by taking the window
handle of Word and making the form the parent. But it depends on what you
are trying to accomplish. Any additional information?

thanks - Fruber.

Thanks,

It can be an integrated part of document management system. If MS Word is
embedded in rectangle area, makes easy to control the edit area size not
like normal Word filling almost full screen and remove some unnecessary
menu and toolbars. Also, we can supply some button controls in different
layout than MS Word menu / toolbar button layout.
Occasionally, we may put multiple word documents side by side.
