>>Thanks for the info. I have also looked at some other OLEcontrol PDF readers, including Foxit, but they usually have a dll that depends on the installation of the software. So I would need to install the foxit reader at the clients computer, and that would be too much trouble.

Yes the right mouse is working, however the UI offers a standard search button (because other containers can also be loaded) and the user would click on that button. So I have to disable the button if a PDF is loaded, but it is not intuitive for the user.
