How to insert my object into Word document?

For example : I have a WinForm graph control. I want to insert a icon in a Word document so that when the user double click the icon, my program will launch and show the corresponding graph.

This looks like a problem related to OLE, but how can I make a WinForm app as a OLE Server Could I use VSTO to solve this problem

Thanks!

    VSTO does not provide any of the plumbing required to allow using WinForms applications as OLE servers.

    Although winform's UserControl control does implement some of the ActiveX interfaces I have never seen any support in WinForms for your scenario.

    Paul,

    That's not what I want. What I want is very like a OLE operation : user copy part of my graph from my graph control, paste into a Word document, when he later double click the graph, my program started and begin to edit the graph. However, I don't know how to implement a OLE server in WinForm application, I'd like to know if I can do this in VSTO.

    Thanks!

    Hi Lei,

    The easiest approach is to add a winform button to the document and handle the button click event to open your graph control in the actions pane or a winform dialog. VSTO makes this very easy to do.
