Hi,

We wish to open the file (.pdf, .xlsx, .docs etc) from Powerbuilder application. The file needs to be visible for users. OpenFile function opens the file but is not visible to users.

 

How can I achieve this?

 

Thanks,

Falguni

Hi Falguni;

   FYI: https://www.rgagnon.com/pbdetails/pb-0008.html

Note: use the ShellExecuteW API now with Appeon PB.

Regards ... Chris

For each file type you need appropriate reader that can display that file format.  PowerBuilder doesn't have built-in Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat for example.  One thing you might want to try is loading these files in the new WebBrowser control of PB 2019 R3.  It is using Chrome and Chrome can display many file types.
