I have a treeview control based on the file system and I would like to implement functionality exactly like windows file explorer whereby a user can click on a file and it would display a preview in the preview windows/pane
I have already managed to do this for files such as images and PDF's with a web browser control but I'm struggling with Office files (xlsx, docx, pptx) as it opens the files in their respective applications rather than the preview window.
I've seen quite a few articles like this but can't find a working, or even semi-working example! Any help would be appreciated.

My requirement is to open pdf files directly inside my RCP application as a separate view.
Currently the files are listed in a tree in the explorer view on clicking of which opens the installed adobe reader.
I want to open it inhouse .
Please suggest.
Was able to load a PDF file within a SWT basic shell but it does not further allow to perform any other operation on it(zoom,select text, scroll etc..).
The PDF basically shows up as a image(of the first page) & is not further interactive.
Any suggestion how to get this done would be helpfull.
For the sample SWT application to load a PDF I followed this link(used the program ID of acrobat reader instead of word from the registry) :

When I open a certain pdf file on SharePoint, I wish to see the Bookmarks Navigation tab open by default. I can do this manually by File > Properties > initial View and changing the Navigation tab to "Bookmarks Panel and Page".
I need to do this with hundreds of pdf files and then upload them to SharePoint.
I am using VBA. I don't mind using other forms of automation.
Currently, I have AVDoc (CAcroAVDoc) and can open the Bookmarks Pane but it's not changed in the settings.
AVDoc.SetViewMode 3
I tried PDDoc.SetInfo etc but nothings changing the "settings".
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
I am running a lot of code in Excel VBA, that does a lot of pdf manipulation. The only thing that remains is to change the settings.
With Acrobat as the runtime, there is no scriptable interface to the initial view settings. However, you can easily use any of several .NET PDF libraries to make this change. A Google search for ".NET PDF Library" will yield both free and commercial varieties. You'll need to research which one is best for your task and skill set.
I have WebBrowser control in my Winforms application which is displaying the PDF file using the ceTe.DynamicPDF.20 to merge the PDF document into WebBrowser. When I run my application on 64-bit version the WebBrowser control is not displaying the PDF.
Is anyone know how to display the PDF file into 64-bit version?
It's hard to tell without more details, but according to this forum topic (scroll to the bottom for the useful part), you may need a different dll for the different architectures indeed. As for how to refer to the correct dll in both cases, you may wish to take a look at this question.
I have an excel file that I would like to load into my form and display there. Is there any way to do this? Sorry I am fairly new at visual studio as well as visual basic. If anybody could help me out with this it would be great thanks.
There are several options - all involve some additional library:
OpenXML 2.0 (free library from MS) can be used to read/modify the content of an .xlsx so you can display it anyway you want (for example in a data grid view)
some (commercial) 3rd-party libraries come with grid controls allowing you to display excel files in your application (be it Winforms/WPF/ASP.NET...) like SpreadsheetGear, Aspose.Cells etc.
I am working on silverlight application and I want to save my file in a particular folder through savefile dialog box. But I am not able to save it.
And also I want to open it, let's say through open - dialog box.
How can I do it?
Thanks..
You can open/save files using the open/save file dialogs even outside the isolated storage for the application. Search "silverlight savefiledialog" and you'll find many examples.
