New to Add In Express... Unable to find any example of HOW to access data once the plug in is defined...
For example, I am playing around with an Excel plug in. I have added a Ribbon, with a button. The button calls code, which is being executed. If I wanted to read the value of a cell in the active worksheet, how do I do it?
With COM programming, I should be able to state...
ExcelApp.Cells[2, 1].Value := 'abc'
but .Value is no longer recognized.
What am I missing?
Thanks |

Can I suggest a new demo? Your tool is awesome, but its value is its interface to the MS application. Most demos are using your tool, not both aspects. It would be nice to have a demo for Excel (for Example);
It adds a command ribbon with some buttons...
The buttons do various things...
1). Open a task pane
2). Read the currently selected cell
3). Add / copy / delete a worksheet
4). Copy data from one cell to an adjacent cell
5). Get the Excel version number.
6). Change all text to bold
etc...
Thank you |

Hello George,
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, creating such a project is a thankless task. Implementation details can be project-specific. That is, implementing just any given thing in this or that way won't suit some (many) developers. I suppose these are reasons why Microsoft haven't created a similar project for the past 15-20 years.
