Hello:

I want to use the AxFramerControl to open Excel documents inside a winforms in .net 2.0 framework.

The problem is that the Excel is being display but appears the following message:

Unable to display the inactive document. Click here to reactivate the document.

This is very strange, and the Excel spreedsheet cells content dissapear and when you press the mouse over it, some parts appears and others not and is very ugly.

Appreciate any help

Thanks

Luos

I had the same problem and this is what worked for me (not sure if it's the right way - found it occasionally):

axFramerControl.ActivationPolicy = DSOFramer.dsoActivationPolicy.dsoKeepUIActiveOnAppDeactive;

I found out what this bug is..

It's so strange, but this bug comes if you declare any new menu items before you declare the activex control.

So if you do this

[code]

Me.MainMenu1 = New System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu

Me.MI_File = New System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem

Me.tbDoc1 = New System.Windows.Forms.TabPage

Me.axFramer1 = New AxDSOFramer.AxFramerControl

[/code]

you will get the inactive message , but if you do this

[code]

Me.tbDoc1 = New System.Windows.Forms.TabPage

Me.axFramer1 = New AxDSOFramer.AxFramerControl

Me.MainMenu1 = New System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu

Me.MI_File = New System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem

[/code]

you wont. Very strange....... It took me a good hour to pinpoint it too.

To get more specific.....

I found out thatthe above methods still extremly tempermental if you are going to tie this into a deployment project.

The actual fix that resolves all issues is just make surethe AXFramer referancesareadded prior to any other referances, or anything else is on the form. This resolved my issue and now is working the way it is supposed to.

I have never seen a bug like this before though. Very strange
