Extend Excel C API add-in for using RibbonX API
Hi All,
My first question is this possible? Most examples I have seen show how to extend a COM addin to use the ribbon API. I have an Excel Add-in that uses the C API (it uses the xlw wrapper that is available on sourceforge.net). This addin has its own seperate menu, with a bunch of menu items, that are functions/wizards. This add- in works fine in Excel 2007. I would now like to extend my addin to now use the RibbonX API, so that instead of using the menus, the users can click on the buttons. I think the issue here is whether i can "tie in" the C API menu items to the callbacks that must be called by the buttons on the ribbons. What's the optimal way to design this? Additional details: My project is compiled in VS2003, but can easily be compiled in VS2005 as well. In addition, my addin, does interact with a dotNET component, that has a COM interface. The addin uses the dotNET part to display the wizards (it was just so much neater and easier to do in dotNET) but still uses the Excel C API to interact with Excel. Any responses will be greatly appreciated. |
