    - based on parameters et by user I extract image in a binary format. Excel (and Word, for that matter) have no way for you to "stream" anything other than text from memory into the opened file. You need to persist your image to disk, then use the AddPicture method of the Shapes object to load the file into the worksheet. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Multiple windows Office

    - Stationery & Fonts - Themes Hi, You should use WordEditor to get a Word document and then use the ApplyTheme() method of the document. C# codes are like: Code Block Outlook. MailItem mail = app.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. OlItemType .olMailItem) as Outlook. MailItem ; mail.To = "somebody@microsoft.com" ; mail.Subject = "Test" ; mail.Body = "This is a test" ; mail.Display(missing); Word. Document doc = mail.GetInspector.WordEditor as Word. Document ; doc.ApplyTheme( "EDGE 111" ); About ApplyTheme() method, you can refer this link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa171557(office.11).aspx Wish this helps!

    - Assembly Info Missing It is part of VSTO. I assume you are already using VSTO as the class you're using is also a part of it. I'm not quite sure where the assembly lies as I'm not at a machine with it installed. If it isn't in the GAC then try <VSDIR>\Visual studio Tools for Office or <VSDIR>\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies.

    - Button text is cut off when using a winform from vsto Hi Langalaxy, How do you intergrate the winform into Outlook, as a Custom Task Pane or a Form Region I have test the winform as a Custom Task Pane intergrated into my Outlook2007. Code Snippet private void UserControl1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.button1.Text = "testttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt"; } Even I use the codes above to assign so long a string to the text property of a button. The button expands to the right size and no texts are cut off! (Ps, you must set the autosize property of the button true) Thanks Ji Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Multiple windows Office

    - ContentControl not allowing multiple lines in word 2007 Hi Drew, This is a by-design behavior of RichTextContentControl. If we press enter to let cursor go to next line in the RichTextContentControl, the ContentControl will cover the whole document’s width. So when we put two RichTextContentControl in the same line, Word will restrict us to enter a new line of each control. The solution is that we should type a new paragraph before we insert the second ContentControl. Codes like: Code Snippet object missing = Type .Missing; object moveUnit = WdUnits.wdCharacter; object moveLength = 1; object startRange, endRange; Range range = p_Application.Selection.Range; range.Paragraphs.Alignment = WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphLeft; startRange = range.Start; ContentControl cc1 = p_Application.Selection.Range.ContentControls.Add(WdContentControlType.wdContentControlRichText, ref missing); cc1.Title = "ContentControl1" ; p_Application.Selection.TypeText( "ContentControl1" ); p_Application.Selection.MoveRight( ref moveUnit, ref moveLength, ref missing); p_Application.Selection.TypeParagraph (); //This Line ContentControl cc2 = p_Application.Selection.Range.ContentControls.Add(WdContentControlType.wdContentControlRichText, ref missing); cc2.Title = "ContentControl2" ; cc2.Range.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore = 0; cc2.Range.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 0; cc2.Range.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacingRule = WdLineSpacing.wdLineSpaceSingle; cc2.SetPlaceholderText( null , null , "ContentControl2" ); Thanks Ji Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Multiple windows Office

    - Performance/Display issues with Windows Forms Hello Kewpcg, 1. For me this looks like in your Form_Load event or in the initialization you do a lot loading data or someting. A solution for this could be to use a Backgroundthread (Backgroundworker) to load and update the data in background. So the UI keeps fast and responsible. Do a search for InvokeRequired will show you some samples how to accomplish this. 2. You need to give the Forms of your AddIN the correct parent WindowHandle -> in .Net a Interface called IWin32Handle http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=489519&SiteID=1 (For Excel but should work for Word too) Hope this helps, greets, Helmut Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Multiple windows Office

    - Office 2007 Quick Parts Hi Ivo, As far as I know, there is no way to customize the fields in Quick Parts. You can only use ActiveDocument.Fields.Add() to add fields into corresponding document. There is no way to add new type of fields which are defined by Microsoft. And if you describe what you want to do, maybe we can find other alternative solutions.

    - Add TaskPanes in Office 2003 Hola Pedro The CUSTOM Task Pane was introduced in Office 2007; it's not available in Office 2003. Office 2003 introduced the ISmartDocument interface that allows you to create a "Document Actions" task pane for a specific document. (But not for an Add-in.) You can implement the ISmartDocument interface in a DLL (straight COM or managed code -> COM); it requires you to associate a XML schema with the document. The SDK is available on the MSDN site. The full version of VSTO 2005 (the one without the SE in the name and the one that's NOT free or a download) works with the SmartDocument interface to provide a Document Actions pane for a VSTO document-level project. That's the best you can do for Office 2003. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Multiple windows Office

    - Before an Appointment item is saved, how can I get the occurrences specified by the recurrence pattern? If the user has changed the date/time of an occurrence or deleted it, GetOccurrence will not return an instance for that original date/time. You'd need to handle that error possibility and look for that original date/time to be represented in the RecurrencePattern.Exceptions collection.

    - Outlook 2007 RTM FormRegion & InfoPath control Thanks for your reply (sorry I didn't see it sooner). The basic form region is made up of the standard to, cc, subject, and message fields and then an InfoPath control at the bottom. The form region is a "replacement" form as opposed to a partial region that exists in another form. Using the simplest repro method, have the add-in cause the InfoPath control to create a new form using a template (we open a File Open dialog to get the template but you can hard-code it for your tests). Once the form region (as its own form since it is a replacement form region) is open, you can tab to all of the controls except the InfoPath control. You can click (with a mouse) into a field in the InfoPath control, but if you press tab, you will leave the control and go to the next Outlook field. I believe you should be able to tab into the InfoPath control and then remain there until you click out of it (in other words, the InfoPath control should process all keys while it has focus). Let me know if you need more information. Pete Loveall Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Multiple windows Office

Two different boxes. 2. Buy an MSDN Pro subscription, which includes VS 2005 Pro and VSTO 2005. I agree with you. The MSDN Pro subscription is the way to go.

I've got an odd issue that I'm uncertain how to resolve.

I'm running VSTO 2005SE with Office 2K3.

I've added buttons to the toolbars that open windows.

The odd thing is that when I click the button, it opens as many windows as there are powerpoint instances. I have no idea why a click in one instance causes the event to be run in all.

I've tried setting it so that it checks to see if the window already exists but because they're being opened by separate instances, this does not work.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

Denis

Re: Visual Studio Tools for Office Multiple windows

X4U

Hello Denis,

track each open window with a unique ID in a collection and assign

the button of the window this ID in the Tag property.

When the click event occures check if the Tag-ID = Window ID and execute that code.

I have a sample there, but only for Outlook - but it's the same technique.

http://www.x4u.de/Programming/Outlook/Codesnippets/tabid/61/Default.aspx

Have a look at the X4UTools sample

In Outlook the Windows are called Inspectors.

Hope this helps,

greets, Helmut
