Host Microsoft Office Document in a Java Frame
Microsoft Office documents (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, and Visio documents) are ActiveX Document servers, not ActiveX Controls. Visual Basic does not support a native control to host ActiveX Documents. Instead, Visual Basic uses the OLE container control to embed an ActiveX Document. Therefore you cannot directly embed ActiveX Documents in a Java frame either. Alternatively, you can use Edraw Office Viewer Component to host Office document. The component is a standard ActiveX control and enhanced solution for OLE container. Only insert the component in your project as other ActiveX control. The Office Viewer Component wrapped and exposed some common used methods and events of Microsoft Office ActiveX document and the Java code will be able to access those wrapper methods that talk to the original methods of the Word and Excel ActiveX document.
