View RTF formatted string in the office viewer component

Tthis office viewer component could retrieve and save the physical files form the server when we provide the respective file paths.  This component also support to load/save the content of the documents through RTF formatted strings. These strings will be saved and retrieved as it is from the database. The developers can write javascript functions within JSPs to provide access to javascript variables to take these RTF formatted string values.

Firstly, the component can open a rtf file from server with the stream mode.

Referent the following page to write a asp.net page in your server to read file to stream.

http://www.edrawsoft.com/httpopenfilefromstream.php

Then use the following javascript to load the file into component.

<script language=”vbscript”>
Sub DownloadFile()
EDOffice.HttpInit();
EDOffice.HttpAddpostString(“DocumentID”, “name.rtf”);
EDOffice.HttpOpenFileFromStream(“http://localhost:2440/ASPCSharp/UploadAction.aspx”, “Word.Application”);
End Sub
</script>

Open a Stream from Server without temporary file

In Office Viewer new version, you can use OpenFileFromStream to open a appointed file or open a file in database.

Either you want to open an appointed file or open a file from database, for client side, all what you need do is the
same, like following:

m_oEdrawOfficeViewer.HttpInit();
m_oEdrawOfficeViewer.HttpAddpostString(L”DocumentID”, L”Tester.doc”);
m_oEdrawOfficeViewer.HttpOpenFileFromStream(strDownloadPath,varOpt,varOpt,varOpt);

Before you call function HttpOpenFileFromStream, you should do two things, one is to initialize http for clearing all parameters and cookies in http, another thing is to appoint the file or database record. And then use HttpOpenFileFromStream to send the request to the destinated webpage.
Before HttpOpenFileFromStream send request, it will add a couple of parameters automatically.
m_OAHttp.AddPostArgument(L”EDA_GETSTREAMDATA”, L”EDA_YES”);
This couple of parameters tell the destinated webpage OfficeViewer will received file as stream.

At the web side, webpage will decide to read which file or database reacord accordding to the post parameters.
And you should add boundary flag ‘EDA_STREAMBOUNDARY’ to file data, following is the asp.net demo.

if (Request.Params[“EDA_GETSTREAMDATA”] == “EDA_YES”)
{
  String fullFileName = Server.MapPath(Request.Params[“DocumentID”]);
  Byte[] fs = File.ReadAllBytes(fullFileName);

  Response.Write(“Get Stream Successfully!”);
  Response.Write(“EDA_STREAMBOUNDARY”);
  Response.BinaryWrite(fs);
  Response.Write(“EDA_STREAMBOUNDARY”);
}
