Bear with me please, because I'm rather new to DXL, but I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem anywhere. I see that you can embed an existing document into in object from DXL, using the oleInsert function, but is there any way to create and open a new document, which will be inserted into the object as an OLE object upon the user saving the document? I'm creating a sort of template in DXL, and I want the user to be able to click a button that says "Add OLE Object" or something, and then it would open a blank Word document, Powerpoint, etc that they can edit, and then when they save it it is inserted into the object. Is there a way to do this?

Re: Embedding new OLE object Here are the steps: 1. Add OLE to DOORS object. 2. Edit said object. In other words, you cannot save an OLE file directly to an object without first inserting the OLE into the object! Now you can edit the powerpoint file before it goes into DOORS...which is what most people do. I understand you are trying to help users with a shortcut, but seriously, how hard is it to tell your users, "Pull the powerpoint template from here, save it to your hard drive, and put it inside the OLE object?" You can spend hours and hours trying to do something that your users can easily do. Focus your time elsewhere. |
