How to display .doc/.docx files inside a controller

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've been tring to display a word document inside a custom controller.

I've tried : cl_gui_html_viewer

CHANGING po_html_viewer TYPE REF TO cl_gui_html_viewer.
   po_html_viewer->show_url(
     EXPORTING
       url                        = lv_url    " URL
       in_place               = abap_true
     EXCEPTIONS
       cntl_error                     = 1
       cnht_error_not_allowed = 2
       cnht_error_parameter   = 3
       dp_error_general          = 4
       OTHERS                      = 5
   ).

and document viwer :

FORM build_doc_viewer  USING    po_splitter   TYPE REF TO cl_gui_splitter_container
                        CHANGING po_doc_viewer TYPE REF TO i_oi_document_viewer.
   DATA : lo_tmp_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_container.
   lo_tmp_container = po_splitter->get_container( row = 1 column   = 1 ).
   CALL METHOD c_oi_container_control_creator=>get_document_viewer
     IMPORTING
       viewer = po_doc_viewer.
   CALL METHOD po_doc_viewer->init_viewer
     EXPORTING
       parent = lo_tmp_container.
   CALL METHOD po_doc_viewer->view_document_from_url
     EXPORTING
       document_url = 'C:\USERS\ZIV\DOCUMENTS\SAP\TEST.DOCX'
       show_inplace = 'X'.
 ENDFORM.                    " BUILD_DOC_VIEWER

In both cases the document is displayed in a popup of a word application and not "in place" (inside a controller) as I wanted.

What am I doing worng ? Is there another solution ?

Thanks

Ziv.

Hi ,

Check out the SAP standard Program

"SAPRDEMODOCUMENTCONTAINER2".

This program will give the output you desired.

I've tried another way but still the file wont open

could it be that the file path format is not correct ?

Please have a look at me code :

DATA : lo_doc_proxy     TYPE REF TO i_oi_document_proxy,
            lo_error            TYPE REF TO i_oi_error,
            ls_retcode       TYPE soi_ret_string.
   DATA : lv_error_msg  TYPE string.
   CREATE OBJECT custom_container
     EXPORTING
 *      parent                            = parent    " Parent container
       container_name              = 'CONTAINER_NAME'    " Name of the Screen CustCtrl Name to Link Container To
 *      style                               = style    " Windows Style Attributes Applied to this Container
 *      lifetime                           = LIFETIME_DEFAULT    " Lifetime
 *      repid                              = repid    " Screen to Which this Container is Linked
 *      dynnr                             = dynnr    " Report To Which this Container is Linked
 *      no_autodef_progid_dynnr     = no_autodef_progid_dynnr    " Don't Autodefined Progid and Dynnr?
     EXCEPTIONS
       cntl_error                  = 1
       cntl_system_error           = 2
       create_error                = 3
       lifetime_error              = 4
       lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
       OTHERS                      = 6
     .
   c_oi_container_control_creator=>get_container_control( IMPORTING control = ole retcode = ls_retcode ).
   c_oi_errors=>raise_message( 'E' ).
   ole->init_control(
            EXPORTING  r3_application_name      = 'Doc'
                       inplace_enabled                      = 'X'
                       inplace_scroll_documents        = 'X'
                       parent                                    = custom_container
                       register_on_close_event          = 'X'
                       register_on_custom_event       = 'X'
             IMPORTING retcode                         = ls_retcode
             ).
   c_oi_errors=>raise_message( 'E' ).
   ole->get_document_proxy(
             EXPORTING document_type   = 'Word.Document.12'
                       document_format          = 'OLE'
             IMPORTING document_proxy  = lo_doc_proxy
                       retcode                        = ls_retcode
                       ).
   IF ls_retcode NE c_oi_errors=>ret_ok.
     EXIT.
   ENDIF.
   lo_doc_proxy->open_document(
                           EXPORTING document_url  = 'file:///C:/Users/ziv_catz/Documents/SAP/test.docx'
                                               open_inplace  = 'X'
                                               open_readonly = 'X'
                           IMPORTING retcode       = ls_retcode
                             ).
   IF ls_retcode NE c_oi_errors=>ret_ok.
     EXIT.
   ENDIF.

The problem was with the document_url.

Here is the correct form :  file://C:\Users\ziv\Documents\SAP\test_doc.doc

Here are some of my failed attempts :  file:///C:\Users\ziv\Documents\SAP\test_doc.doc

                                                         file:///C😕Users/ziv/Documents/SAP/test_doc.doc

By standard, when an extension is not maintained in SDOKMIME (standard extensions) nor in SDOKMIME_C, it uses MIME Type application/octet-stream, which opens the document as an attachment.

To solve this, you should fill view SDOKMIME_C according to the XLS attachment in this note:

1237688 - New Mime Types for Microsoft Office 2007 in KPro and ARL

IMPORTANT! This will only change the behavior for new documents. Existing documents already have a MIME Type attached in table SA01PHF. You can change the behavior for specific documents manually by selecting the PHIO_IDs from the document header from table SA01PHIO and use them as input field for table SA01PHF.

Alternatively, you can repair all documents by running report SOLMAN_UPDATE_PHIO_MIMETYPE. In case this report is not in your system yet, you can download it from this note:

1750162 - PHIOs are not found by Full Text Search Engine(TREX)

Good luck!
