Hey everyone,

 

is here a way to invoke Windows Forms or WPS ui as part of a PB 2022R3 application ?

My need is to use an Excel Control to be able to view Excel files without having Excel installed.

 

Thanks

//Steen

If you know of a .NET control for viewing Excel files then you could COM wrap it and use it as an Active/X control in PowerBuilder, placing it on a window like any other Active/X control. I did this a long time ago to add the Microsoft Chart Controls to a PowerBuilder application, so I know it is possible.

Hi,

You could use Google Docs to view them. You set your default to open xlsx with a web browser and there's an extension to make that possible. Later I'll try to tell you which one (when I'm back to work).
