Topic: Displaying docs in the webbrowser control

[hendie]

I am displaying documents via the webbrowser control with the following code

Code: [Select]

Private Sub ListView1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListView1.Click
        Dim I As Integer
        Dim Fname As String = ListView1.SelectedItems(I).Text
        Dim MyDocs As String = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)

        Dim Path As String = MyDocs & "\" & TreeView1.SelectedNode.FullPath
        Fname = "C:\" & Path & "\" & Fname
        WebBrowser1.Navigate(Fname)

    End Sub
The webbrowser will successfully display *.doc files and *.pdf files but when I select xls files it opens an instance of Excel with the file instead of displaying it.
Any ideas as to why ?... and how to prevent it ?

problem solved.
In windows exporer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types
select file type > advanced
make sure "browse in same window" is checked
