Morning all,
Just a quick post to request some best-practice advice as to what my options might be. I've been digging around MSDN for a while and haven't found any promising leads yet. In a nutshell I want some VBA (or C#) code for Excel 2003 where I can store help text that appears in the function helper window - e.g. function description, category and parameter name/description. I found the following two articles: http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/arch...on-with-excel/ http://www.bettersolutions.com/excel...N723710331.htm But they cause strange errors whereby our UDF's aren't always called. I did some digging, and found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb687900.aspx which left me confused as to how the aforementioned code is ever supposed to work. It strikes me that the oft repeated fragments online are nothing but fugly hacks. Who's smart idea was it to try and pull out User32.dll calls and re-alias them as other VBA functions?! A true "WTF". Does anyone know of any other approaches to exposing intellisense-style information to the end-users of our Excel Addin? Can VSTO somehow do it directly from within the .NET/C# code maybe? Any suggestions or advice are appreciated, Jack |
