Excel - Open A File In An Active Workbook?
Aug 19, 2010I have a program that filters data and then outputs it to a tabg delimited file. I then use Excel Interop to open this file in Excel because directly outputting to a worksheet takes too long. So currently I am using this code:
AD.DF.WriteToFile(vbTab)
Dim WB As Workbook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(AD.DF.DatafileInfo.WriteToFileLocation)
ExcelApp.Visible = True
The first line takes the filtered data and outputs to a tab delimited file. The second opens that same file in a new workbook in Excel. And obviously the third makes Excel visible. Here is my problem though: right now when this code is run there are two open workbooks. I already have an active workbook and I would just like to open this file to that workbook.
VS 2010 Open Active Excel Workbook?
Aug 8, 2010I am finally switching from VB6 to VB Net and am rewriting a technical application that calculates the heat transfer performance of automotive radiators, heater cores, evaporators, condensers, etc.The user can calculate a heat exchanger and save the results to an Excel spreadsheet. After a series of calculations he can then plot curves of performance.
He can also click on a previous calculation in Excel and import it into the VB routine. The user may have a number of workbooks open when he does this.My problem is I need to open the Excel workbook that is the active workbook. I have been able to select the active worksheet but have been forced to specify the index of the workbook. I have not been able to get the workbook I want.. The code I used is the following,
Dim oExcel As Object = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
Dim oBook As Object = oExcel.Workbooks(1)
Dim oSheet As Object = oBook.activesheet
How do I get the active workbook instead of Workbooks(1) with an index of 1?

Apr 2, 2010I have a standard Visual Studio 2008 VB.Net WinForm application, running on Vista Business. One of the forms has a timer that passes Me.Handle to FlashWindowEx. This works as intended as long as none of the windows that belong to this application are the Foreground window. If this program is running and another application's window is the Foreground window, then it flashes as intended. If, however, any of this application's windows are the Foreground window, then it doesn't flash.

May 16, 2010In the following code why does the message box display behind the workbook,instead of on top of it? It does this related to the line, app.Visible = True. if this line is commented out the message box appears in front, but there is no workbook visible. I've used the message box in other places without a problem. Is there something fundamental here that I'm missiing?

Code To Check If Workbook Exists
Jan 15, 2012I have (in Excel) code similar to this:And then from there it will call the corresponding module and pass varStar to each module and run the code. The issue I have is that sometimes (like right now) it is a new year, or a new month and varStar may not exist in the specific workbook. How can I code it to, if varStar doesn't exist just skip it and keep going. I tried On Error Resume Next, and On Error GoTo 0. But that wasn't 100% efficient.

Sometimes when the worksheet is updated and I try to write related data to my forms, I'm getting "Cross-thread operation not valid...." errors. This confuses me, as I have never done any multi-threading in my program. Does the mere act of me responding to events of an external excel worksheet mean I am now multithreading? Is there a way to handle the events without multithreading?

Using VB To Find A String In An Excel WorkBook?
Aug 28, 2010I am working on an application where I need to locate a range of cells within a worksheet. Since the actual location of the data will vary for each worksheet, I have come to the conclusion that I can put a string near the range that I am looking for (i.e. the text "*SUMMARY*") and since I will know the location of the data that I am looking for relative to the location of this text string, it should work.
I have made some progress but am having trouble getting the Find method of the range component to work. My code is below. This code finds each worksheet and shows me the name but I also need to to find the location of the cell with the string "*SUMMARY*" in it (if it exists).
