another youtube and visual basic
genetics
ok so i've received the request again
how to view adobe documents in your
application so the reason why i received
this question is because apparently in
one of my main use i have a adobe items
so i thought i'd like to show you guys
how to quickly view a PDF document in
application
alright so to start off with i'm going
to create this project like always
ok ok
test PDF is then
right i'm just going to make that a
little bit bigger and see if i do have
yes I do actually have a PDF reader i
get if you died then it's likely going
to choose items and you have to right
click on your toolbox going to choose
items and the loading of the controls
might take a little while and the comp
components because it's obviously not a
microsoft created control so common
components and they're gonna stick that
click ok I'm going to cancel but you can
click OK and it'll actually then add the
control for you know
there we go okay and it's as simple as
that
I'm just gonna throw a copy of the
control on modesta the meanest space
that's nice and neatly
i'm also going to have a little button
the edges to make sure that we can exit
the form
and a button to download the document so
this one's going to be
and this one is going to be exits
ok these two controls which my two
buttons i want to anchor them at the
bottom so it's great
anchor
at the bottom
ok because i want this control to be
anchored all over the page right for the
reason that if i run it and I maximizer
you can see that the control or I don't
exactly on your screen will actually
take up the whole of the fourth
okay easy now we need to be able to load
a document into the PDF reader so we
need an open file dialog go to dialogues
openfiledialog and in the load button
i'm gonna write the following me
openfiledialog one . filename equal
string 18 i'm not going to do the whole
formatting the tops of documents that
you can see my other video
okay i'm going to say me that's over for
dialogue
me that's a x-acto pd if one . load
filed ok and the low flow will be me .
openfiledialog one . filename as simple
as that
give it a run make it bigger I was going
to get click on load on my desktop i
think i have a report
actually there is a bad sign on a click
on open and they go so you can now see
that actually falls in all the controls
you should be able to print you can
select your pages you zoom okay 100
tickets will be easier for us to see on
the video you can also maximize find
anything in your documents and stuff so
yes it's PDF report and you can be in
your application
ok if you have any questions you can
post them if you subscribe to my video
if you're not subscribed you can if you
want to see any comments or any
questions that will welcome so i'll
speak to you guys later
Cheers
