Example
The OpenExtDocwin transaction opens the specified document into a new external document window. Before using this transaction, you must register the external window's handle using the RegisterExternalWindow transaction. The image will not appear until you issue the HandleExternalWindow transaction. You can do this before or after using OpenExtDocwin.
