I'm writing VB code in Visual Basic 2008 Express and can't seem to figure out how to create a new instance of Excel with VB code. The most common answer appears to be setting an object variable to 'Excel.Application', but that gives an error (Type 'Excel.Application' is not defined).

View 1 RepliesThe software company I work for offers data conversion as a service for new clients who have previously used other similar software. I've written a VB.NET application to automate common conversion operations, and have separate logic between known vendors.particular file layout has become rather common, but due to the nature of how this particular competitor's application stores information, certain fields mean one thing for one client, and another for a different client.Certain elements within this vendor's format change every time, so I've written the application to account for that. Because some data fields mean different things to different vendors, I have to change my mapping code every time. This wasn't an issue when I had one of these every six months or so, but these are becoming much more common and I would much rather find a way to further automate this process.

View 9 RepliesI have a VB 2008 Forms application which does Powerpoint automation -- I am opening owerpoint in a minimized window from within my app and am trying to periodically put update messages in a textbox on my main form while the automation is running (it takes a few minutes to complete), but my form window does not want to show these messages until the powerpoint operations are finished. It seems as if I need to force a window refresh or something on my windows form, but I'm unclear how to do that. Below is some code that I'm using that illustrates what I'm trying to do. When I run it, "Step One / Step Two / Step Three" do not show up on my textbox until after the Powerpoint automations are over.

View 1 RepliesBasically I've coded an Excel 2007 project in VB.NET 2010 that allows you to create charts with a fair amount of interactivity. I want the user to be able to save and reopen this workbook and still have that interactivity in any already-created charts, so they don't have to re-create them.
When I create the charts, I use Sheet1.Controls.AddChart(...), which returns a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart with which I can handle events and such. However, when I reopen the file and look through the Sheet1.Controls collection, there are no Chart objects. Accessing the charts through Sheet1.ChartObjects.Chart gives me Interop Charts, when I need the Tools Charts.
I'm working on a VB.Net application that extracts emails from an Exchange inbox and then does various things with them. I want it to treat out-of-office auto-replies differently to everything else, so I was hoping someone might know how to identify them.
Obviously, I could simply look to see if the message subject starts with "Out of Office:", but that seems a bit sloppy to me. There's clearly a more accurate way to identify them, because in Outlook, an auto-reply has a different icon to a normal email that simply has "Out of Office:" at the beginning of the subject.
I'm using the component Independentsoft.Webdav.Exchange.dll to handle the email side of things, but I couldn't find anything obvious there.
The below code works fine to export data from a datagrid to excel spreadsheet.

I have this picture to be more clear. My idea is when I paste (ctrl+v) for example this number: 4111111111111111. It would automatically paste them in textboxes one by one in order!
so txtBox1 will contain : 4111
txtBox2 : 1111
txtBox3 : 1111
txtBox4 : 1111
The automation of inserting credit card's number will ease so much. So that user will not work so hard to cut & paste each four digits!dy in txtBox4 and want to delete back with the key "BackSpace/Return". After deleting txtBox4's content and clicking one more time the "RETURN' key it would move to txtBox3 and so on until cursor gets to txtBox1...

I want to create some custom shapes for MS Office which we can use in house.
For example I want to create a shape named "carton box" which have three - four default places where user can add some text. It is same as other shapes or I would say just like shapes (line, flowchart, arrow etc) in MS office 2007.
Is there any way to create and reuse such a new objects, also if user don't have these shape in their toolbox and get a document which includes these shapes; he should be able to see it (defiantly in read only).
Background - I am a .NET developer and also having small knowedge of MS office development in .NET.
I have a simple COM add-in for office that I am developing (for access specifically). I have added a custom commandbarbutton item to the context menu that pops up when you right click on an object in the navigation pane. This works fine. The debug code I added runs (currently just a msgbox command). The one thing I cannot figure out how to do though is get an object for the object bound to the context menu.
I would like this to happen; I right click on a module in the navigation pane, select my new menu option, and then a message box appears with the name of the module that is currently highlighted. How would I go about this? This is how I am currently handling the event:

I am new to this forum - and while I have programmed in VB.Net for some time, I am also new to Office Automation - so please bear with me We are creating a Metrics presentation in Powerpoint 2003.Currently, the presentation is manually created. We are automating this through VB.Net. I figured out how to add the slides from the template. I can modify text boxes and other objects other than the MS Chart objects. I can modify MS Chart objects - but find that after updating the chart, saving it, and closing the application - it apparently doesn't save correctly. When I reopen the presentation, it originally shows up with the changed data. Once I double-click it, however, it doesn't keep the modified data.
I looked at the properties of the graph in VB.Net - and it looks like the chart shape is read-only. I thought of two solutions - one: copy the chart, modify a local copy, and paste it over the original, or two: make the read-only chart writable. Problem is - I'm at a loss for how to complete both of these.As far as the copying of the chart, I found some information about using the .Copy() command, so I cam up with the code
