Word Embedded in a GUI + IE7

[exodius 1]

This method from big_daddy has worked successfully for me up till now that I have IE7 installed...

Prior to IE7 the word document would open embedded in my gui, now that I have IE7 though, (I'm guessing because of the way that IE7 handles only web content and kicks file-system stuff out to Explorer), it's opening Word separately instead of in my embedded window.

Does anyone know of a different way to achieve this, or what I need to/can change to make this work again?

big_daddy's example:

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()

$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()

GUICreate("Embedded Word control Test", 640, 580, (@DesktopWidth - 640) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2, _
        $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 600, 360)
$GUI_Button_Open = GUICtrlCreateButton("Open File", 10, 420, 100, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $GUI_Button_Open
            $sFile = FileOpenDialog("Open Word File", @MyDocumentsDir, "Word Doc (*.Doc)")
            If $sFile <> "" Then
                _IENavigate ($oIE, $sFile, 0)
                While $oIE.ReadyState <> 4
                    Sleep(50)
                WEnd
                $oDoc = $oIE.Document
                $oWord = $oDoc.Application
                ; Put document into 'Web View' mode
                $oWord.Activewindow.View = 6
                ; Manage display of toolbars
                $oDoc.CommandBars ("Reviewing").visible = False
                $oDoc.CommandBars ("Standard").Visible = True
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

_IENavigate ($oIE, "about:blank")
$oDoc = 0
$oWord = 0

GUIDelete()

Exit
