Please test this one (0.0.6):
http://cid-e12762cbdafb3c47.office.live.com/self.aspx/TC/Office2007wlx%5E_0.0.6.zip

It should support (by INI detect string definition) following formats:

docm, dotm, dotx, potm, potx, ppam, ppsm, pptm, xlam, xlsm, xltm, xltx.

If it works properly for you I may release this on public in next few days.

1-minute-quick-test-report:

Yes, after modifying the INI-string it display the DOCM (2007). Other extensions will be tested later.

[EDIT:
2-minutes-quick-test-report:
Tables are not displayed - no text, no frames, no place-holders "something is missing here": nothing...

END OF EDIT]

Only basic text has been supported so far (no footers, tables, drawings, etc.).

After quick look into code I assume it shouldn't be hard to change it and add tables support. Place-holders will be easy but I want to try to get the content instead. Please be patient.

Please check:
http://cid-e12762cbdafb3c47.office.live.com/self.aspx/TC/office2007wlx%5E_0.0.6.1.zip

This is alpha version which works for Word files only but it should show (within internal tables):
- standard cells - as plain text only,
- images - as <-IMAGE-> placeholders,
- WordArt objects - as text.

I will check if tables format is the same for other Office documents. In addition I hope for different objects types support across whole documents' content.

Hello fenix

sorry - I see only standard text: no table-contents, no image-placeholders, no word-art-contents.

But I have only Office 2003 with 2007-compatibility pack. Does the plugin use features from Office2007?

Could you send me few more files to look over?

I don't have much Word 2007 documents with tables inside but the test file works for me:

Oh! And my plugin does not use any Office features - it just parses XML files contained within DOCX/XLSX/etc.

I will send you an example.
In the meantime I could find a small problem: Your new plugin is called office2007wlx.wlx, and therefore it did not overwrite the old one. Now I see the table, but still no word art and no IMAGE.

Placeholders were supported within tables but now they should work in whole document:
http://cid-e12762cbdafb3c47.office.live.com/self.aspx/TC/office2007wlx%5E_0.0.6.2.zip

Please remember: works for Word files only (so far).

Normal images are displayed as: <-IMAGE->
<-WORDART-> is shown for WordArts with texts which cannot be retrieved or for cliparts.

I have just downloaded the office2007wlx_0.0.6.2.zip file and installed it. During a first quick test I have encountered the following two problems:

1. Every paragraph of the original docx file is displayed as a single line. Activating the 'word wrap' option in the TC lister options menu doesn't seem to have any effect.

2. Hyphenated words will not be displayed correctly. In your lister plugin the last caracter before the hyphenation position will be shown as a separate character enclosed by space characters. The word 'undertake' e.g. will be shown as 'unde r take'.

Can you think of any obvious mistake which I could have made?

You're absolutely right about both mentioned issues.

Office2007.wlx was written for quick Office files lookup, so no formatting options or word wrap were taken into consideration. Just very basic preview before launching more advanced tools.

Despite that I think I can manage to find some time to look on these soon.

To Karol Kaminski:

Thank you for your quick response! Fixing the somewhat annoying word wrap problem shouldn't be overly difficult. Naively I would assume that all you have to do is to set the boolean WordWrap property of your RichEdit to 'true'. (This should work at least with the Borland/Embarcadero RAD tools. I'm not sure about Microsoft Visual C++ which you obviously use.)

The hyphenation bug on the other side is definitely not a top of the agenda issue. So take your time.

fenix_productions · Post by *fenix_productions » 2011-06-25, 11:16 UTC

OK, I am at dead end

Does anyone know how to change RichEdit style (add/remove WS_HSCROLL) at runtime? All I can find are posts saying it's not possible.

I was also trying to remove current control and recreate it but lister freezes. I am thinking about not using single RE but Panel with it inside. Is it the only way?

2Michael Diegelmann
For time being you will need to set WordWrap to true before loading Office 2007 documents - it seems to work fine this way (at least for me).
