Need Help in developing MS WORD like application

Dear All,

I have seen applications that has tool bar, with different buttons which are same like MSWORD 2003 look like, and when click on one button suppose table button, a list popup which also same like MS WORD 2003, and there are increase and decrease indent buttons, center align, lift align or right align buttons, and its functionality is also same like MS WORD.

I want to implement such functionality in my own application, but remember please don’t refer me to MS Visual Studio Tools for Office Development, show me some other way by which I could do so.

Refering me to code for downloading office like application will be highly appretiated.

thanks

I want that there be create table, increase or decrease indent, center align, lift align or right align buttons, and its functionality is also same like MS WORD.

Could you tell me how to achieve these funcationalities.

most likely you would need to create a custom control but I don't know how personally. There will be some resources on msdn.microsoft.com, and of course the usual search engines.

Hi jehan

One source for your requested functionality is old (1996) Microsoft Visual C++ Version 4.1 distribution CD. From that CD you find MSDEV\SAMPLES\MFC\OLE\WORDPAD subdirectory with WordPad.exe source files. It should be relatively easy task to copy and paste "center align, left align, etc." code to your application.

Good hunting...

If your application edits word file than you can search google and find good examples of doing operations in office files, including the ones that you need. There is also plenty good books that are targeting VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office).
About the buttons, ToolStrip will be enough for your need. All you need to do is find good pictures.

You can find controls that render the same way as Office 2003, and if you are using VS 2003 you will probably need some third party controls set, or if you use VS 2005 then toolstip has that render type. But functionality like gruped buttons that function together like align where only one is checked, or effect when mouse go over button, should be developed by you. Office 2007 have completely different toolbar style and grouping of buttons and button lists. Many of companies that sells controls sets have that type of controls also, including the one the is like drop list when click on table button list.
