How to build a COM addin for onenote?

[Tom]

Greeting,

In VS New project->Other project types->Extensibility->Shared Add-in->Wizard
step3, I don't find onenote in the list. How can I build a com addin for
onenote?

Up to now OneNote is neither programmable nor extensible like
the other Office apps.

Hello Tom,

Actually, OneNote has its own extensibility API:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa905452.aspx

and Daniel Escapa from Microsoft wrote a blog entry about how to create a
OneNote COM add-in with Visual Studio.Net:

Here are several sample OneNote add-ins (with source code) for your
references:

In addition, I find there is a community project called "OneNote Object
Model" in codeplex:

This may be helpful though I haven't tried it yet.

Strange. I used OleView to look for a OneNote type library and
found none. I have OneNote 2007 installed from Office Enterprise
2007. Thats why I expected OneNote to note expose any COM
objects.
I am doing a repair to see if that gives me any type library.

Ahh, it is not called "Microsoft OneNote ... Type Library" but only
"OneNote ... Type Library"

Cool! I will look into the links.

Also check
http://blogs.msdn.com/johnguin/arch...te-powertoys-from-the-test-team-for-2007.aspx
for a bunch of addins the test team wrote. Many of them have their code
available.

Oh, and check out the OM at www.codeplex.com/onom - we have a couple of
projects underway there which should really show off the OM.
