Add-in Express Smart Tag = Microsoft Office smart tag library
For Office smart tags, Add-in Express implements both versions of the Smart Tag technology by utilizing the ISmartTagRecognizer and ISmartTagRecognizer2 interfaces. With Add-in Express you can develop static and dynamic recognizers (stand-alone smart tags or smart tag libraries). Smart tag projects based on Add-in Express include one or several smart tags, and each of them may contain its action list and one or several recognizable words (phrases, masks, etc.). Finally, using smart tag-specific events you can create dynamic recognizers.
Smart tag solutions produced by Add-in Express completely support all Office applications compatible with the Smart Tag technology. Today these are Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook 2002 and higher. See how to write a sample Word smart tag in .NET.
Excel RTD servers, Automation add-ins and XLLs
In addition to Office COM add-ins and smart tags, Add-in Express delivers three Excel-specific solutions: Real-Time Data Servers, Automation Add-ins and XLLs. An RTD server can make Excel a client for any real-time data sources. Add-in Express RTDS solutions are inproc-servers (DLLs) that may contain an unlimited number of real-time data topics, linear or nested. With Automation Add-ins you develop your own worksheet functions that end-users can use in formulas in their workbooks. All Excel automation add-ins are ordinary COM add-ins but registered in a special way. One more effective technology that empowers you to create new Excel functions is XLL. You can use Add-in Express for programming XLL solutions of any-scale, e.g. with one function or hundreds of functions.
RTD Servers, Automation Add-ins and XLLs work on Excel 2002 and higher. See also a sample RTD server in .NET, Automation Add-in project and XLL project.
