2. Look for the Edraw Office Viewer Component you wish to import (dialog displays the ActiveX controls registered on your system).

3. Select the Component palette location in which you want to place selected library.

4. Maybe the best is to leave the ActiveX option selected.

5. Click on Install.

6. Select a package where the new component must be installed or

7. Create a new package for the new TSomeActiveX control.

8. Click on OK.

9. Delphi will prompt you whether you want to rebuild the modified/new package or not.

10. Click on Yes.

11. After the package is compiled, Delphi will show you a message saying that the new Office Viewer Component was registered and already available as part of the VCL.

12. Close the package detail window, allowing Delphi to save the changes to it.

13. The component is now available in the ActiveX tab (if you didn’t change this setting in step 4)

14. Drop the component on a form, and simply: use it.

Tips:
1. In step 3, selecting the component palette for new Edraw Office Viewer Component allows you to group controls by function or vendor, for example.
2. The component wrapper is linked into the application executable file (or a runtime package), but the .OCX file for the component also needs to be deployed with the application.
3. ActiveX controls need to be registered on the deployment computer before use. Installation programs such as InstallShield Express automate this registration process.

boolean SetValue([in] BSTR Name, [in] BSTR Value);
Sets the pasword, writepassword, domain and protectmodereminder
for the document.
Name: The name string.
Value: The value string.
Example
The following vb script shows how to open a password-protected document. if the 1.docx file
has the password 1234, the writepassword 5678, you can use the follow sample.
Sub SetValue_Example()
edword.SetValue “Password”, “1234”
edword.SetValue “WritePassword”, “5678”
edword.Open “c:\1.docx”
End Sub

Then delete the Edraw Viewer Component for Word.

You can added your site at the IE trusted site list to turn off the IE protection mode
automatically when the users visit your site with the component.
Please consider also your application’s requirements.

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”);
}

[id(27), helpstring("Saves the document to specified location or its original location.")]
boolean Save([in, optional] VARIANT SaveAsDocument, [in, optional] VARIANT WebUsername, [in, optional] VARIANT WebPassword);  

For example:

OA1.Save

OA1.Save “c:\temp.doc”

OA1.Save “http://www.ocxt.com/demo/upload.aspx“, “username”, “password”

An ActiveX control can be as simple as a text box, as complex as an Office Viewer Component, and in some cases as complex as a small application. ActiveX controls are used as controls or dialogs for Internet Web sites, as add-ins to major applications from third-party vendors, and as plug-in utilities. Therefore, ActiveX is synonymous with Java, Netscape plug-ins, and scripting. However, the advantage of ActiveX over these other programming options is that ActiveX controls can also be used in applications written in different programming languages, including all of the Microsoft programming and database languages.

ActiveX controls are not stand-alone solutions. They can only be run from within host applications, such as Internet Explorer, a Microsoft Visual Basic® application, Visual C++® development system, Visual Basic, Delphi, DotNet for Applications, and so on. ActiveX controls facilitate the distribution of specialized controls over networks and the integration of those controls within Web browsers. This includes the ability of the control to identify itself to applications that use ActiveX controls.

ActiveX controls can be scripted from Web pages. This means you can use an ActiveX control to provide a control for a user interface or graphics device interface element. Once created, you can use a scripting language such as Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JavaScript to use the control. Your script instructs the control how to work.

EDraw Office Viewer Component is a standard ActiveX Control. It can be intergrated into the other develop circumstance supports the ActiveX Control.

I am using Vista Beta 2 and Web Office Component with Visual Studio 2005.

When attempting to register a COM object (e.g. Active-X component or OCX) with ‘Regsvr32’, i.e.: regsvr32 COM

it fails with a message box displaying:

DllRegisterServer in COM failed.
Return code was: 0×80070005

Where ‘COM’ is the name of the COM object file.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if you try to register a DLL by using Regsrv32 while you are logged on using an account that does not have administrative credentials, such as an account that is a member of the standard users group. An account that does not have administrative credentials cannot write to the registry or change files in the System32 folder.

The behavior occurs because Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 use a more restrictive security scheme than earlier versions of Windows use. This scheme prevents standard users from registering DLLs.

There are some solutions as follow:

1. Login in as Administrator.

2. Set “Run as Administrator” property of regsvr32.exe  

3. Turned off UAC (User Account Control) in Vista OS.

If you are doing the web application with the EDraw office Viewer Component, you can choose the any type server such as Linux, Unix or Windows.

In the install directory you can find the CAB file. We have created it for you. But if you want to create a new CAB file with the Office Viewer Component, you can download the CabArc.Exe from Microsoft official site.
