Hello!

I'm developing an application where I'm allowing users to embed Word,
Excel, HTML, PDF, TXT, and PPT files all within a panel in the
application. I have been using TCppWebBrowser for this because it
allows all those file types beautifully.

I've run into a few problems with it, but the main one is that if I
open an Excel document in the TCppWebBrowser, I cannot open other XLS
file in Excel on my computer while my app is running. Excel opens and
you can see the entry for it in the taskbar, but it's totally locked
and you can't view anything in Excel until my program shuts down and
the TCppWebBrowser relinquishes control of Excel.

As you might imagine, that could a pretty annoying problem for users!
Does anyone have any idea how I can get around this with
TCppWebBrowser? And if there is no way, is there another control that
will get the job done? I have already tried TOLEContainer, but it
hasn't suited our needs.

Thanks!
