Hi Dimi,

Thanks for your fast reply.

I think my question was not clear enough, I want to open an existing word file and search for a certain string, a kind of spider search. I took a look at the Developer's Guide but haven't seen anything about opening a word file, or have I missed something? :)

Best regatds,

Amro

Hi Amro,

I see what you looking for. And the answer is No, there is no way to load an word doc and I have opened an product idea  PI12110102 for your behalf for this functionality.

I have sent your idea directly to our product management team.

If you have any furthered questions please let me know.

Hi Dimi,

Thank you, I'll surely do since my company is using the Infragistics tools and my task is to explore the abilities of both Excel and Word controls.

Another question is: Is it possible to add macro's to the Excel documents created by the IG classes?

Thanks again. :)

Hi,

I know, this thread is about five years old now and I am sure there have been major improvements on the IF libraries.

I am looking for the exact functionality originally posted in this thread. I have a Word-Document that is design and structured and contains variables such as "##text##". What I want to do is open that Document at runtime, search all the paragraphs for "##text##", replace it with a new TextRun und save the result to a new Word-file.

I am using Infragistics 16.1

Has the functionality been added by now? Could you please provide an example how to accomplish this task?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Andreas
