hi all !!!

I have a WinForms app that has a Internet Explorer component where I show
information by using the "navigate" method.

when I show an XLS file the Excel is embedded and the spreadsheet is
correctly shown; the Excel menues are not displayed (that's fine).

what I would like to do is to add a button in my WinForms application to pop
up Excel's "Save as" dialog.

is there any way to do it ? (remember that the XLS file is shown inside
the webbrowser component)

any hint will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
ant

Check out this article

it seems that after the document has finished loading, you can use the
webBrowser.Document property to get a reference to the excel document
object. You can then call methods on this object to invoke the "Save As"
dialog
