Using Office 2007 UI Ribbon .dll File With Project?
Aug 18, 2009
I have downloaded the official office 2007 UI ribbon .dll, but now what? I am coding in VB.net. I do not know where to place this .dll, and I do not see any additional controls anywhere at all. The readme explains how to license your copy, which I have done.Now what? I am hoping to magically see the ribbon control in the list of components I can add somewhere, but its just not there....Is there even a way to use this as a drag-n-drop component with the WYSIWYG Design View?
I'm developing a small application that creates Excel files with user details. I'm developing this in vb.net 2008 express edition under Windows XP SP2 and with Office 2003.My target PC is running Windows Vista. I'm able to run my program without any problem and even the Excel files get created without any problem on this PC.However, the problem is when I try to open one of these created files in Vista, I get a message like below:
"The file you are trying to open, "TestMe.xls", is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" If I click yes, it opens up properly. This is a headache as it opens up in my developing PC without any hassle. I'm sure its something to do with the Excel reference I've made in my PC (which is running Office 2003).How best can I save this file so it opens up in Excel 2007 without the above message.
I am using VB.Net (.Net 4) and Outlook 2007 (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook) to send mass emails to clients on a monthly basis and the text is pre-defined into a HTML file which is parsed.Since there are chances of errors, we are putting it as outlook templates. But we need to put some special tags in the body, for which I want to put a button in the main ribbon of the "MailItem" object (see attached image).I have managed to put the buttons in the "add-ins" menu but I want it right there in the front area.
I'm creating an Microsoft Office 2010 add-in ribbon with a bunch of controls on it. I am able to add things like buttons, TextBoxes, and Labels. :-) I am not, however, able to add the one control I need, which is a DateTimePicker.
1. I have button tugllet. I click the button and save file. I want - when I open the file, to see the button preesed (like "bold" button), how am I do this?
We have currently upgraded our development machines to Windows 7 and Office 2007. We have a vb 2008 app that references 2003 Office components to use for mail-merging to word.We loaded up our app in the vb environment today and were instantly greeted with missing components/functions which are related to the 2003 Office components. We can update these to use the Office 2007 components/functions instead, however we are unsure whether after doing this our vb app will work with machines only with Office 2003 on. can machines with Office 2003 on work with our vb app that references Office 2007 components?
i was wondering if someone could give me the final explanation on what i might be doing wrong here.I spent a lot of time reading around the net and the forum about how to add Threading capabilities to a VB project.
Nos, i've got .NET 4 installed, and i've added the system.tsr and mscorlib.dll files as reference in, say, Excel 2007 (see screenshot).However, when i try to make a thread with anything as basic as "Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread", i get a user-defined type not found error.Indeed, when i use the object browser to see what's in the System file, theres nothing remotely linked to any Threading, and in the mscorlib file, nothing under "Threading" either, just a few Thread related functions, but nothing defining a data type

The plugin works fine when I start the project using F5 in Visual Studio 2005. But if I try to use the installer created by the setup project that is automatically added to the solution, the plug-in won't show when I run powerpnt.exe
Is there something I missed? Do I need to make some modifications to the installer?
I have an Excel file endowed with a macro written under Office-2007.This file can be opened by Excel-2003, but the macro can't run because 2007-objects can't be recognized.My question is: does it exist a library or some trick to allow the macro running under Office-2003?

Does not throw any error. Request to help to fix the issue around TypeText() parameters in Office 2007.
I have both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed on my system. When I call oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application"), Excel 2003 is used in the context in my .NET code instead of Excel 2007 (which I need to be used). I have referenced the "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" but when the code runs, the 11.0 version is used.
Is it because I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003 that Excel 2007 cannot be correctly referenced or do I need to change a reference or setting?
I used the code previously added by Mike Rosenblum but Excel is still not closing, Here is my code: Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Private Sub Check_For_Xcel(ByVal filename As String) Dim varpath As String = "" Dim varvalue As String = "" Dim xlapp As New Excel.Application Dim xlbook1 As Excel.Workbook = xlapp.Workbooks.Add()
For irow = 2 To 65536 For icol = 1 To 4 Select Case icol Case 1 read_date_time = xlbook1.Worksheets(1).Cells(irow, icol).Value Case 2 read_plate = xlbook1.Worksheets(1).Cells(irow, icol).Value Case 3 read_plate_state = xlbook1.Worksheets(1).Cells(irow, icol).Value Case 4 read_location = xlbook1.Worksheets(1).Cells(irow, icol).Value End Select Next If read_plate = Nothing Then Exit For Check_IF_Present(read_plate, read_plate_state) Next
If Not xlapp Is Nothing Then GC.Collect() GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() GC.Collect() GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(xlbook1.Worksheets) xlbook1.Close(SaveChanges:=False) Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(xlbook1) xlapp.Quit() Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(xlapp) End If
xlbook1 = Nothing xlapp = Nothing GC.Collect() GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Error at Check for Xcel") End Try
I've managed to work out how to read EXCEL cells via static values. Ideally I would like my application to check the third column of the EXCEL sheet and if there are no entries on a given row, it should display the coresponding row of colums 1 and 2...for example if (C,3) contains no entry then get values of (A,3) and (B,3)...then mark (C,3) as pending by writing a value to (C,3). Here is my code at the moment
Whenever the code invokes the open dialogue box statement of the VB6.0 code, the application gets terminated.It is expected to open the dialogue box to provide the file path. I'm also having MS Office 2007 enterprise edition. If I do not have MS office 2007 enterprise edition installed, then it is working fine without any problem. So any suggestion/remarks to work on MS office 2007 enterprise edition?
