How to add dynamic (WinForm) control to worksheet?

Hi,

I'm building an Application-level addin.
I'm trying to embed a custom WinForms user control directly onto an Excel worksheet.

In VSTO, I used to be able to do this.
(MSDN Documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/cc442981.aspx)
1. Creating a host item for the worksheet (Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(sheet))
2. Adding the control on the host sheet item (hostSheet.AddControl(new WinFormControl(),x,y,width,height,"MyControl"))

But now that I've switched to ADX, I have no idea how to achieve this.

Can someone please help? What're the equivalent classes/methods to achieve this in ADX?


Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh,

This isn't supported by Add-in Express. Consider showing that control on a pane.
