Dear NG,
I am trying to program a small addin for Excel (2000,XP and/or 2003) using
VC++ from the actual Visual Studio. I am using the project type "Other
Projects" -> "Extensibility Projects" -> "Shared add-in".
I have linked an old C Library and added some ANSI-C++ Code which is
definitly not managed code, and I am able to call this code and present the
results in a Messagebox. This works fine and I am quite happy that I do not
need an extra wrapper to move to managed C++.
Anyway, I have some problems to start over now. I never did any
GUI-Programming and I am not very familiar with the basics here. But these I
will find in the books here.
What I need are really basic informations how to go on. This means I search
links or recommendations for books for theses "special" subject (Project
type, application type) described above.
I find many things regarding C# with Outlook or VB with Word, but while I am
starting it is not as close as it should be....
Anyway I know, how my Add-In shall interact, what gives me the possibility
to search a little bit more specialized:
-I want to add a menu to the normal excel menu. Where exact (main menu,
tools) I do not mind.
-This menu shall call dialogs for parameterization (I think this is the
easiest part).
-In these dialogs I need access to sheets and cells
But here I am stuck as well.
Any hint is appreciated,
thank you very much,
Patrick
