Hi Manu,
Follow these steps:
1. Create CONTEXT with 2 attributes - UPLOAD & SHOW of type XSTRING.
2. Add a "UPLOAD" element on the layout of screen & map it with UPLOAD attribute of context.
3. Then Add a "OFFICE CONTROL" on the same screen & map it with the SHOW attribute of context..
4. Add a BUTTON for Show Document/Open Document.
5. Add 2 attrubutes in ATTRIBUTES tab of the dynpro application:
        i) DOCUMENT type IF_IOS_DOCUMENT
       ii) FACTORY    type IF_IOS_FACTORY
6. On method of that button (SHOW)...enter the following code:
DATA : refexp TYPE REF TO cx_ios_exception.
IF wd_this->document IS INITIAL.
    wd_this->factory->get_document_proxy( IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->document  ).
    ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->document IS BOUND.
  ENDIF.
  wd_this->document->opendocument( ).
read context node
DATA:
    node_file_upload                    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
    elem_file_upload                    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
    stru_file_upload                    TYPE if_second=>element_file_upload .
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FILE_UPLOAD> via lead selection
  node_file_upload = wd_context->get_child_node( name = if_second=>wdctx_file_upload ).
get element via lead selection
  elem_file_upload = node_file_upload->get_element(  ).
get all declared attributes
  elem_file_upload->get_static_attributes(
    IMPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).
  stru_file_upload-show = stru_file_upload-upload.
set all declared attributes
  elem_file_upload->set_static_attributes(
    EXPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).
7. Now add the following code to the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method (default method)
  DATA:
      office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_view_element.
get the office control
  office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE' ).
  ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION  office IS BOUND.
get the IOS interface
  wd_this->factory ?= office->_method_handler.
  ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->factory IS BOUND.
8. Run the application & enter a text file of word format in the File Upload.
9. Press show button & it will display the code of that word file.
Plz ask any queries if you face any problem doing the above code.
& dont forget to mark Points.
