Add-in Express for Office and Delphi VCL adds support for Office 2019!

Finally, it happened. Today we have published version 9.1 of Add-in Express for Office and Delphi VCL that fully supports all versions of Office 2000 through 2019. A new version of Add-in Express for Office and .net is expected soon.

What’s new in version 9.1

Here are the two most important improvements:

  • Support for Microsoft Office 2019 applications
  • Support for Delphi 10.2 Tokyo Community Edition

The complete What's New list can be found here.

Speaking of Office 2019, there are no crucial changes either from the developer’s or end-user’s perspective, except that we have lost one of the supported applications. As you probably know, Microsoft removed OneNote from Office 2019, more precisely replaced the desktop version with a UWP one. And because COM add-ins do not work in UWP applications, they do not work in OneNote for Windows 10. Of course, there is nothing that would prevent you from downloading and installing the good old OneNote 2016, which is desktop and naturally supports COM add-ins.

Please check out the following resources for more information:

How do I get the new version?

Everyone who has an active subscription of version 9.x of Add-in Express for Office and Delphi VCL can download v.9.1 from this page and install it with the current license key.

As usual, an upgrade from any previous version is available for 50% of the full price.

How do I support Office 2019 with my existing projects?

With version 9.1 installed, you simply rebuild your current project and then retest it… just in case :)

Thank you for your attention and happy coding!
