ActiveX add-in?
Hi,
Even though I have a c++ background, I'm hopelessly confused about the ..Net, com, com+, ActiveX etc. Basically, I have a tool that can take my existing code and package it as an ActiveX object. Is this sufficient to write an Excel add-in? Many thanks in advance! Aaron Fude |

Aaron,
a few details about the tool, what it should do, what it should do it to, etc. would help to give a more meaningful response. -- HTH Bob Phillips wrote in message oups.com...

Certainly.
My Excel add-in needs to do the following basic things: 1. Supply custom functions, such as SphericalHarmonic(l, m, theta, phi), including similar type function that can take a range and return a range... 2. Query some type of network server a return the results to Excel. Thank you |

You can make an xll or an automation add-in. Here's a link that describes one, written in C#: http://www.thecodeproject.com/dotnet/excelnetauto.asp /Fredrik |

ActiveX add-in?
I was hoping there was a third option. I have all of the required
funcitonality, other than delivering the results to Excel, written in Java and packaged as a bean. I was hoping to use this http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/...ide/index.html to wrap it inside an ActiveX container and, at least temprorily, save myself the learning curve of learning another laguage (however similar to Java), another programming environment, etc. Thus my original question. Many thanks for the responses. Aaron Fude |

Many thanks for the responses. Aaron Fude Well, maybe it does work. It ssems possible to create an add-in in C3 and have it call your Java dll. I suggest you try something really simple. Make a dll that adds two numbers and call it from C#. /Fredrik |

Hi Aaron,
would your code compile in J#? In this case, you might be able to use http://ManagedXLL.net/. Contact me personally if you need additional information.
