Hi Kaak,

Thansk again for your help. We are trying to do a financial modelling app
where we have complete control over what the user does. Excel is a very
convenient grid subsystem, because it already does all the formatting,
calculations etc that we need. What we would really like is to have a
windows app that behaves itself properly, but that embeds an Excel sheet on
the page. This would be in place of other grid controls that we could use as
alternatives.

As a fall-back position, using an excel sheet with a task pane is not bad,
the main reservation being a marketing / sales consideration. If we are
trying to create our own financial modelling app, then we would prefer it to
look like something that is worth some money, not just an add-in to Excel
which the market sees as a low-value, or at leat low-cost, addition rather
than a high-value app.

I have looked at the office web components, which are of course easy to use,
but as you say there is too much missing functionality.

So I think my alternatives are to either create a standalone app, and use
some other form of grid control to do excel-like things, or to do it as an
excel app with a task pane.

Regards,
Tom

First the code is not hosted in excel but exist along side excel in a
.dll

If its possible what you want depens on what kind of functionality you
want

There is a good excel control for on a form in the new visual studio
but never
with the full excel functions.

Can you give me a more detailed description of your application

Maybe I can help you by thinking of a good solution
