Issue when using Excel Loader

Hi,

We have created an excel addin using Addin Express. When we install it and start excel through Excel Loader (freeware), everything else (menus & toolbars) appear fine except the custom functions which we created. More specifically, functions are enabled inside the Tools->Addin but function wizard does not have entrie/s for these custom functions.

Addin works absolutely fine for excel sheet started without Excel Loader.

For any addin there are two entries in Excel Loader's available addins list. One for the UI (ADXAddinModule) and another for functions (ADXExcelAddinModule) of that Addin. These two things can be independently enabled or disabled for each addin. However, for the addin which we have created only the entry for UI is displayed and not for functions.

Any idea why the functions are not available or why the entry is not appearing in the addins list?

Thanking you in anticipation.

-regards,
Shailesh.

Hi Shailesh.

It seems the Excel Loader doesn't support Excel Automatin add-ins. That is why you don't see your functions in the list of available add-ins in the Excel Loader.

Hi Sergy,

Maybe! However, we were hopeful Excel Loader supports Excel Automation Addin, because it mentions so in the Excel Loader Wizard itself just below Version: frame.
"Available Add-ins (Automation Add-ins/ COM Add-ins/ XLA/ ALL ):"

Please refer to the URL for more details:

Also we have created Excel addin based on Mscoree.dll (instead of usual Addin Express Loader), which as well does not show up functions.

Please refer to following site for more details:

Thanks and regards

Shailesh,
I am afraid I can't answer you why Excel Loader doesn't see managed automation add-ins. Please try to ask about it the Excel Loader support.

Hi Sergy,

We have been continiously attempting to communicate with Excel Loader support without any luck so far. Pardon me for asking you something which obviously seems not part of your expertise. I posted this query in wake of curiosity, thinking if you could help us out of this situation with your vast experience.

Thanks a million for your generous support.

-regards,
Shailesh.
