add-in

I am new to excel add-in prgramming and I am having a existing excel add-in project need to modify. The plug-in has 2 parts, one is programmed in VB and compiled into a ActiveX DLL file, the other part is inside the excel as an add-in. I already modified the source code of the DLL and recompiled a new DLL, but I don't know what is the correct way to re-package the 2 parts into one excel add-in package and give to my colleagues. I tried to remove the reference to old DLL from excel, but it seems I could not do that, it will always be there and I can't really remove it. This add-in is for excel

Fundamental question on how to get the bits to work together: I've not used VSTO before and after 4 hrs of searching I've decided to ask! I want to create a simple AddIn for word that will execute when the user saves ANY document. I thought all I would need to do would be to create an AddIn in VisualStudio 2008, and put my code in the ThisAddIn class Public WithEvents objWordApp As Word.Application Private Sub objWordApp_DocumentBeforeSave(ByVal Doc As Word.Document, ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, ByVal Cancel As Boolean) MsgBox("my addin code is running") End Sub and that would be that. Only this

Is it possible to create an add a custom menu to the main menu bar in Visual Studio within an Add-In? I want the Add-In to create a company specific menu if it does not already exist and then add its own specific command to that menu. That way if multiple Add-Ins are supplied then they can all add the commands to the same menu. I have found an msdn link for a walkthrough in creating a VSPackage which does this but not from within an Add-In and it requires its own specific installation/registration. public static CommandBarControl GetCustomMenu(DTE2 applicationObject) { //Find the MenuBar

I'm wondering if it's possible to detect when a user has clicked the Header/Footer button in Excel so I can show some custom header/footer related ribbon controls on my add-in's tab and hide them when the user is not in header/footer edit mode. Is it possible to hijack this button click somehow? I've seen applications hijack the Excel Save before. I'm looking for similar behavior just with the header/footer button. I'm using C#, Visual Studio 2012 and Excel 2010. I've created my custom ribbon using the Ribbon XML approach. One way I've discovered that worked was to use the <commands> section

I'm trying to read the ActiveCell from within an Excel Add-in but not getting very far. Anyone any ideas? Excel.Window W = this.Application.ActiveWindow as Excel.Window; Excel.Range R = W.ActiveCell as Excel.Range; MessageBox.Show(R.Value2.ToString()); The Exception being thrown on the last line is: - Cannot obtain fields or call methods on the instance of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range' because it is a proxy to a remote object. I tried .Value, and it says: - Property, indexer, or event 'Value' is not supported by the language; try directly calling accessor methods 'Microsoft

How to open file programmatically using EnvDTE in C#. Assuming you have a hook to the correct DTE instance...
