Two ways to embed Word documents in a WinForm form

Office is the Office software that we often use in our daily work, however, with the rapid development of information technology, more and more people have been using word writing documents, using Excel to make reports, and using Outlook to send and receive e-mail easily. Everything is easy, and the example will show you how to use C # to display Word documents in the form form, as shown in Figure 1.
 
Figure 1  Embedding Word documents in WinForm forms
  Key Technologies
This example focuses on how to use the WebBrowser control to display Word documents, The key techniques used in this example are explained in detail below. The
WebBrowser control is a standard control for Windows Forms applications, and you can use the WebBrowser control to display Web page information in a form. The Navigate method of the WebBrowser control allows you to load the document at the specified location into the WebBrowser control, which is commonly used in the following syntax format:
public void Navigate (string urlstring)
Parameter Description
urlstring: The URL address of the document to load.
   Description: The WebBrowser control can also load and display Excel files.
  Design Process
(1) opens the visual Studio 2008 development environment, creating a new Windows Forms application named Wordinform.
(2) Change the Name property of the default form Form1 to Frm_main, change the Text property to "embed a Word document in a WinForm form", and add a MenuStrip menu control to the form, add two menu items to the menus "open" and "exit" Used to open the Word document and exit the application, and to add a WebBrowser control to the form that displays the Word document. The main code for the
(3) program is as follows:

The code is as follows	Copy Code
private void Open Toolstripmenuitem_click (object sender, EventArgs e) { OpenFileDialog p_getfile = new OpenFileDialog (); To create an open File dialog box object DialogResult p_dr = P_getfile.showdialog (); Show Open File dialog box if (p_dr = = DialogResult.OK)//Whether click OK { Webbrowser.navigate (P_getfile.filename); Open the Word document and display } }

Let's look at a complete example

The code is as follows

Copy Code

Using System; Using System.Collections.Generic; Using System.ComponentModel; Using System.Data; Using System.Drawing; Using System.Linq; Using System.Text; Using System.Windows.Forms; Using Microsoft.Office.Core; Namespace Wordinform { public partial class Frm_main:form { Public Frm_main () { InitializeComponent (); } private void Btn_get_click (object sender, EventArgs e) { } private void Open Toolstripmenuitem_click (object sender, EventArgs e) { OpenFileDialog p_getfile = new OpenFileDialog ();//Create Open File dialog box object DialogResult p_dr = P_getfile.showdialog ()//Show Open File dialog box if (p_dr = = DialogResult.OK)//click OK { Webbrowser.navigate (p_getfile.filename);//Open Word document and display } } private void Exit Toolstripmenuitem_click (object sender, EventArgs e) { This. Close ()//closes the current form } } }

Frm_Main.Designer.cs

The code is as follows

Copy Code
