Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to open a word document using infragistics instead of the Microsoft library?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Amro,
As far I understand your question you are looking for a way to open a Word doc in an Infragistics Control. We don’t have any control that can be used as a word viewer , you can use our document engine to open in the memory, manipulate or generate new file and save the data in the word doc but we don’t have doc viewers.
More about the Infragistics word document you can find here:http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2012.2/CLR4.0/?page=Word_Infragistics_Word_Library.html

I hope this answer your question.
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
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.
Our product team chooses new ideas for development based on popular feedback from our customer base. Infragistics continues to monitor application development for all of our products, so as trends appear in requested features, we can plan accordingly.
We value your input, and our philosophy is to enhance our toolset based on customer feedback. If your idea is chosen for development, you will be notified at that time.
If you have any furthered questions please let me know.
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. :)
We do have only round round-trip VBA code support for macros, so you can’t add macros in to the excel file via IG Classes. You can read here more about the macros support here : http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2012.2/CLR4.0/?page=ExcelEngine_Support_for_Excel_Workbooks_with_VBA_code.html
You can add a macros to any IG generated excel file as usual using the Excel functionality.
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?
Regards,
Andreas
