What is the bug fix to IStreamProvider so PDF would work ?

Is there a solution to the focus bug ?

Thanks for this write-up.

I am trying to run your solution on Windows 7. The solution compiles fine (in VS 2008), but when I run the solution, an OutOfMemoryException is thrown on the line “pHandler.DoPreview();”. Interestingly, if I stop the program and then run it again, it breaks at an earlier line: “fileInit.Initialize(fileName, 0);” saying the COM Server is giving an error.

Even more interestingly, MS Excel pops up when I run the app, and then Windows tells me that Excel is not responding.

I am wondering if there is some issue w/ the excel file formats being a previewable format in Windows 7 (I think it wasn’t in Vista, but not sure).

Has any one been able to run the solution in Windows 7 successfully?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve been playing with this example and I’ve noticed a couple problems that I was hoping you could help me with.

Specifically, when I try to run the Preview Handler for PowerPoint or PDF they’re constrained in size by the rect appropriately, but don’t seem to be positioned properly (top left corner is set to 0,0 which causes the Preview Handler to be directly over top of the list for selecting the file to preview)

When I try to run the preview handlers for Visio or Word, getting focus causes them to resize to the full size of the window.

I’m running your example pretty much verbatim (other than a bug fix to IInitializeWithStream so the PDF reader works).

My environment is .NET 3.5 SP1, Office 2007 SP1, 32-bit Vista Ultimate, VS 2008 SP1

Any ideas?

Thanks for this wonderful piece. I tested your code with Foxit’s PDF preview handler. It does’nt seem to work. Do you know why ?

The preview handler works with Windows Explorer.  It seems to return null for IInitializeWithFile when I use with your code.

I checked this with Foxit handlers and it works for me. I think, your problem is FileStream provider. Look into source code to find commented area about it
