Edraw Office Viewer Component is a standard ActiveX control. It acts as an ActiveX container to host Office documents (including Microsoft Word and Excel documents, PowerPoint, Project, and Microsoft Visio documents) in a custom page or form. This control is lightweight and flexible, and developers have new options for using Office in their own way.
Developers can program and embed the Microsoft Office environment using the Office component. This allows for new possibilities in solution integration. It is possible to integrate the power of MS Office into any smart client or web application. Office Control is easily integrated with the host app's UI, so developers can use MS Office functionality in their applications without developing similar functionality. You can also control the MS Office programming interface, which allows you to programmatically control the feature and add objects or members to it in the office object modeling.
The Office Viewer Component was designed to make it easier to use ActiveX documents from non-top-level windows. This component can be used to build your own embedded object viewer or editor as an ActiveX control.
This is an excellent solution for companies that want to show editable Word documents, Excel sheets, and PowerPoint slideshows to employees. However, it does not allow them to modify the underlying data. PowerPoint files can be played in the same window. It is possible to display password-protected Word documents in the same window. It is simple to upload and download files from server to client via HTTP/FTP with the office component.
