  • How To Open Word In Java Application

    Hello
    How To Open Ms-Word Or Ms-Excel Or Any Other Format In Java Application
    According To Their Own ForMat

    The best is to know which program you like to execute. Make those many strings available. Suppose you like to execute M$ Word and M$ Excel. Now do like this..
    String word = "";  // null
    String excel = ""; //null
    /* In the File Class you can find out the methods that can search these files and return thier
    absolute and relative paths. Save those paths in uppe String(s) word and excel and place them in
    runtime.exec( word/excel)...etc. Place this code before a tolbar button and click that..*/

  • Opening a Word Document with a Java program in Windows

    When running a Java program in Windows, is it possible to have a button where when it is clicked it will open a Word document?
    If so, is it hard and can someone tell me how to do it??
    Thanks

    try this instead of Excel.exe you have to use Word.exe
    1. Declare your button
                   JButton butexlcom = new JButton("Carnet Offre");
                   butexlcom.addActionListener( new ButExlCommercial(msgout));
                   butexlcom.setBounds(215,510,110,30);
                   c.add( butexlcom );
    2. run your word document.
    class ButExlCommercial implements ActionListener {
         private JTextArea msgout;
         public ButExlCommercial( JTextArea msg) {
         msgout = msg;
         public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {

  • Opening a word document in Java

    HI
    I am new to java. I am trying to open a word document when user press the button. I just want to open the document that exists on my computer. I have tried using exec() method of Runtime class. But I was not succeed. Here the code that I have used.
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)     {
         String str = ae.getActionCommand();
         if(str.equals("Search")){
              Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
              Process p = null;
              try{

    repaint();
    Here "Search" is th name of Button.
    So if anyone have a solution please help me regarding to this.
    Thank you

    Use java.awt.Desktop (available since Java 6), it provides a .open() method that will open any file with the users associated application (so no dangerous hardcoding of application paths necessary).
    If you insist on using Runtime.exec, then you must read [When Runtime.exec() wont|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html].

  • Open Word From Java

    Hi all,
    Can we open word from java.
    It is possible from VB to do it, bit is it possible from Java.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best regards.
    Saadi MONLA

    Probably have to do it using Runtime.exec() and call the word exe in the seperate process.
    Note that word will be opened in a seperate OS thread and you will not be able to refer to it from your Java Application.

  • Problem in opening MS Word doc from CRM back-end.

    Hi All:
    I have a MS Word document stored in my CRM system which opens by passing a transaction number as input. When we try to preview the word
    doc it opens properly from back-end.
    But the real problem exists when i'm trying to open it from my web-dynpro thru java, it never opens in a correct format(i mean it never opens at all). When I stored it in local machine to open it from notepad, i could see all the junk data along with original text.
    If any one have done this successfully before, plz do let me know the way or send me the code sample to read word from webdynpro java. I've implemented with couple of options which didnt worked.
    Munna_SAP

    Hi All:

    Solution: I didnt looked at the r\3 end that how it was coded, i've changed my code in java to meet the requirement.
    Tnx,

  • How can I open a word-document in word?

    I want to have a link in my java-program to a word-document, but I don't know how to open the document in word from java.

    If you are using windows and word is set up as the associated program for doc files, you could use a runtime process to open it. To find the correct syntax, try to open the document through the command line and then use that command.

  • Opening  browser window from Java Swing

    Hi
    I am trying to open
    1) a word document on the click of a button from a Java-Swing based application running only on windows based system.
    Currently the code uses 'rundll' and calls 'a.doc'
    it requires that the application be installed and run only from a specific location in the windows' system.
    i would like to modify the code in one of the following ways
    1) open the word doc irrespective of its location and that of the executable jar which is trying to open this file
    2) upload the word document to a website and direct the application to open that webpage on button click, etc
    i believe that the latter may be simple but i do not have any idea about how to go about it
    i would appreciate some guidance about it.
