Office2007wlx 0.0.4

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.

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?

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).

Answer: I have sent you an e-mail on a possible way out of of this problem.

Answer: I have tried your workaround - and it really worked (strange ???!)

Hello Fenix

long time ago we discussed the display of user-defined-file-properties in Word etc.

Do you have any plans to implement it?

Are sources for 0.6.2 available? I'd like to try to build the plugin for 64-bit, but only I could find only 0.0.4 sources.

I've uploaded them here:

Will you also convert WDXContains or CommentsWDX plugins?
The second one might be useful with Samuel's QuickSearch…

- - - - - - -
I have also added few smaller "projects" I had on my home PC:

1. sla_wdx_src.zip
Scribus application files check (*.sla are XMLs - most code taken from Office2007WDX)

2. ConverterWLX_src.zip (c++) with FontConverter (c#)
WLX just calls FontConverter and takes font preview image created by it to show as thumbnail.

3. PDNplugin_src.zip
Thumbnails for Paint.NET images.

All were very useful for me but I think I've never put them online.
But while #1 & #2 behaved pretty well, third one is crashy sometimes.

Thanks!

If I have some free time I'll take a look at them, but I cannot promise. Frankly, the only reason I started working on porting your plugins is that some user on the Russian forum asked me, and these ones are not in his list.

Maybe you should try to port them yourself. For testing you could use a virtual machine with a 64-bit guest operating system installed, it can be done even with 32-bit host OS.

The 64-bit version is available at totalcmd.net. Also some minor fixes were introduced.

It is a little confusing that the totalcmd.net page says that it is version 0.0.3.1 but the file name, the ReadMe.txt file and the file info inside the .wlx says version 0.0.6.3.

The used version number (0.0.3.1) on the totalcmd.net page also means that the plugin cannot be updated using Total Updater

Didn't you confuse the wdx and wlx plugins? Office2007wdx has version 0.0.3.1, and this version is specified both on the plugin page and in the downloaded file. Office2007wlx has version 0.0.6.3, also both on the plugin page and file name, readmes, etc. I checked this when publishing the plugin, and re-checked this now, but I don't see any problem.

Sorry,you are right about the about me confusing the version number for the wdx and the wlx plugin on totalcmd.net.

The reason that Total Updater doesn't find the new update for the wlx is that Total Updater looks for updates at http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/office2007wlx.html in stead of http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/office2007wlx_64.html - I'll report this to the author of Total Updater.

Hmm… I didn't think about such usecase. However, it's not right to reassign an existing plugin from some author to myself just because I recompiled it. Unless, of course, the author clearly stated that he/she is dropping the development completely, but this is not the case here.

Probably, it can be solved by hardcoding the list of "interchangeable" plugins either inside TotalUpdater, or in totalcmd.net database. However, I'm not sure about the format and possible ambiguities of whether some plugin may be treated as a replacement for another plugin…

Hi, nice work on this plugin, used a lot for cleaning old files, Im wondering if would work for office 2010/2013 files, is there any difference?
