Sub officedoccontrol_Progress(Data As String, Filename As String, BytesProcessed As Long64, PercentProcessed As Integer)

Remarks

The Progress event is automatically fired as compression or decompression is performed. When WriteToProgressEvent is true, the output data is provided through the Data parameter, allowing for it to be streamed out.

Filename contains the name of the file being written. If no file is being written, Filename will contain an empty string, and the output data will be provided exclusively through this event.

BytesProcessed contains the total number of uncompressed bytes processed. PercentProcessed contains the percent of uncompressed bytes processed, corresponding roughly to the running time of the operation.

For Gzip extraction only, BytesProcessed and PercentProcessed will reflect the number of compressed bytes extracted, as it is generally impossible to predetermine the total uncompressed size.

If WriteToProgressEvent is false, Data will contain null.

SpecialSection Event (OfficeDoc Control)

Fired when a special section is encountered.

Syntax

Sub officedoccontrol_SpecialSection(SectionId As String, Text As String)

Remarks

The SpecialSection event is fired whenever a special section (such as <![ CDATA [ ..text... ]]>) is found in the document.

The full text of the special section is provided by the Text parameter, while the SectionId parameter provides the section identifier (e.g. "CDATA").

StartElement Event (OfficeDoc Control)

Fired when a begin-element tag is encountered in the document.

Syntax

Sub officedoccontrol_StartElement(Namespace As String, Element As String, QName As String, IsEmpty As Boolean)

Remarks

The StartElement event is fired when a begin-element tag is found in the document.

The element name is provided through the Element parameter. The attribute names and values (if any) are provided through the AttrName, AttrNamespace, AttrPrefix, and AttrValue properties.

The IsEmpty parameter is true when the event corresponds with an empty element declaration.

StartPrefixMapping Event (OfficeDoc Control)

Fired when entering the scope of a namespace declaration.

Syntax

Sub officedoccontrol_StartPrefixMapping(Prefix As String, URI As String)

Remarks

The EndPrefixMapping event is fired when leaving the scope of a namespace declaration.

Config Settings (OfficeDoc Control)

The control accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

OfficeDoc Config Settings

NormalizePartName:   Whether to normalize Part Names.

Sometimes the Part Names retrieved from a document will be of a format that is not directly usable in the PartName property when retrieving the part. For example: /ppt/slides/../media/image1.jpeg

When this option is set to True the component will automatically normalize these Part Names so that they can be directly used in the PartName property for retrieving the part. For example, the above would become: /ppt/media/image1.jpeg

The default is True.

RelationshipIsExternal[x]:   Whether the relationship part is internal or external.

Some relationships in an Office document may be external items, such as URLs and files on disk. These relationships are not directly accessible via ExtractPart. This configuration option will return "1" if the relationship at index "x" of the Relationship* arrays is an external part. Otherwise it will return "0"

Base Config Settings

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

Setting this setting to tells the control to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

This setting is set to by default on all platforms.

Trappable Errors (OfficeDoc Control)

Errors

The following errors may be generated by the control. Note that frequently the error message will contain more specific information than what is listed here.

Note that some non-fatal errors may be trapped and explicitly ignored in the Error event. This will allow the control to continue operation even in case of error.

OfficeDoc Errors
