how to open an embedded file in a publication?

Hello.

I'm a beginner in VisualNeo and maybe my question seems too simple.

How can I open an embedded file in a my publication in VisualNeo Win?

For example, how can I open a PDF/Ecxel/txt file in my publication by clicking on a push button?

Thanks for your response.

Can you give me an example, how I can open a pdf or an excel file, in my publication?

You need to find a plugin that can open these formats.
Perhaps someone will tell you. I don't remember which plugins can do this.

To open a TXT or RTF file in a publication, just read the file into a variable. Wherever the name of this variable is specified, the contents of the variable will be displayed, i.e. file contents.
To open a PDF or Excel file inside your application, you need to run the application in a rectangle.
To programmatically open the file in the default program, you can use the zmFunctions 1.0b plugin (Peter Pavlov), the zmOpenWithDefault command (see the example in the sample file).

Create three files named
file.txt
file.rtf
file.pdf
Put them in the same folder with the example and run the attached example.

The English version of the plugin zmFunctions lies here:
