I have created a PowerPoint addin using the steps from this article: Using RibbonX from Visual Basic
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?
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?
View 5 Repliesi 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
this is my vs:but i want to get the office 2003 and 2007 add-ins in it.i am using the professional edition of vs do i need to install some components?

View 5 RepliesI'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 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'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?

View 5 RepliesI am designing a shared add-in using VB.Net 2008 and VSTO that has to fire up when any MS Office App is started. It has to work for both 2002, 2003 and 2007 applications. I have managed to put together a working add-in that pops up a test message stating the version of Office and the Application name and tested this across all the apps ok.
The next part of the solution is to code the application specific code that needs to run for document auditing and corporate protective marking as well as, for example; in Excel checking that all the Add-Ins are linked to the Network Add-Ins folder.
My approach from now was going to be to late bind against the application object and set one of my typed (e.g. Excel) application object references which exist in the code to this object.
I have an application that browses through Excel-files, changes color in some cells if they are in a wrong format etc.When my application is saving the changed file I get this alert about compatibility issues that can occur, and this alertbox has to be agreed or cancelled to move on to the next file. How can I disable this compatibility check programmatically? Or is there any way to ensure there are only Excel 2003 compatible colors in the document before saving?
View 13 RepliesI have an issue which has successfully busted my head all weekend. I created a COMAdd-in, in VB.NET (VS 2008) for Excel 2003. We now need to work the solution out for 2007 and since the layout and objects are a little different we had to make some critical Interface changes.Instead of a floating CommandBar we are now going with RibbonBar, which looks good but it doesn't work. Whenever I open Excel Workbook (which is the primary application). The Add-in successfully recognizes it and opens it up properly (bunch of Macro calls, layout settings etc). Anyway, after it opens, if I click on any button (on the new ribbon tab) I get "Application not properly initialize. Program will now close" and excel object is lost.
View 1 RepliesI have used Visual Studio 2008 (VB) to create a custom tab and button group with custom buttons. When any of those buttons are clicked, I simply want to run a macro (add-in) that will already be loaded when Excel is launched. The main examples I've seen create an Excel object in the VB code and then call the macro, but that seems like unnecessary overhead, since the custom buttons are are already loaded into Excel.
