How to load binary MS Word documents into TX Text Control

This sample application illustrates how to load binary files such as Microsoft Word documents into TX Text Control that is embedded in an HTML file.

Generally, you can use the Microsoft INET control to load documents into a variable. But it is not possible to load binary files such as Microsoft Word documents or the internal TX Text Control format.

Therefore, you can use the Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) to load a document using an HTTP GET command.

Function GetFile(URL)
	Dim objXML
	Dim HTTPResponse
 
	Set objXML = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
 
	Call objXML.Open("GET", URL, False)
	Call objXML.Send()
 
	HTTPResponse = objXML.responseBody
 
	Set objXML = Nothing
 
	GetFile = HTTPResponse
End Function

On a button, the GetFile() function is called with an URL as the parameter. The contents of the variable are used with TX Text Control's LoadFromMemory method.

Sub Button1_OnClick
	Dim objDocument
	objDocument = GetFile("http://bin.textcontrolasp.com/sample_load_msword/demo.doc")
	objTX.LoadFromMemory objDocument, 9, false
End Sub

To run this sample application, you need to be using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or newer. Other browsers (such as Firefox and Opera) are not supported.
