How to tell if Excel Application is in cell-edit mode?

Question

I\'m writing an Excel Addin using COM Interop from .net. I have a command that pops up a dialog, and from the dialog I do some work like collecting data from the used range

You didn't mention which language you're using. SZL's function is written in VB. Since I'm using C# I had to convert it. Worked great. Here is the equivalent C# code.

    bool IsInEditMode(ref Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application exapp)
    {
        if (exapp.Interactive == false)
        {
            return false;
        }
        else
        {
            try
            {
                exapp.Interactive = false;
                exapp.Interactive = true;
                return false;
            }

            catch
            {
                return true;
            }
        }

    }
