How to call WinWord.exe through the Qt program?

[bangqianchen]

I am out of office for a few days, and I think read the windows registry may be is better, thank you , I will try!

Better than using QDesktopServices::openUrl()? I don't think so...

Most certainly, openUrl should work on Windows, Mac & Linux, whereas registry approach is Windows specific.

If you don't care your program is Windows specific, then can even use OLE:

Variant MSWord;
MSWord = CreateOleObject("Word.Basic");
MSWord.Exec(Procedure("AppShow"));
MSWord.Exec(Procedure("FileNew") << "Normal");
MSWord.Exec(Procedure("Insert") << "Hello World!");

This way uses an existing instance if available, or loads the application if it's not already running.

Where can I find QCoreSettings? I have downloaded latest Qt open source and commercial versions (trial) but QCoreSettings is not there.

There is no such class in Qt. It's QSettings.
