Oh lovely. Why do I get the feeling Office Live doesn't want anything
else to use it...

thanks - dave

Hi Dave,

I try install the Office Live client, and now have the "Microsoft Office
Live" option on the side bar. However, the open file dialog in the Word
and the OpenFileDialog in .NET are not the same.

The open file dialog in the Office Word 2007 uses a window whose class name
is "bosa_sdm_Microsoft Office Word 12.0", it uses a window whose class name
is "Internet Explorer_Server" to explore the directories. While the .NET
OpenFileDialog is a wrapper of the Win32 open file dialog, it's window
class name is "#32770 (Dialog)", and it uses a window whose class name is
"SysListView32" to explore the directories. You can see these differences
by the Spy++ tool.

The "Microsoft Office Live" option links to a web page, but the
"SysListView32" window cannot display a web page, so even we can manage to
add the "Microsoft Office Live" option on the sidebar, the content of the
page cannot be displayed.

So, a quick solution would be to create a Form with a WebBrowser on it,
navigate the WebBrowser to the Microsoft Office Live link location.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,
Zhi-Xin Ye
