    - Getting handle to form region controls at design time Is there a way to get the handle to form region and it's controls during the design time itself For example I choose a new form region by selecting a new form region option, I select the controls from the toolbox and field chooser window. At this point itself ,Is it possible to get the handle to form region and controls Is there a way to handle drag and drop event or form region change event at design time I understand that we can write a FormRegionHookup class and get the handle to controls at the runtime using BeforeFormRegionShow callback. But I am looking at design time programming options to the form region and it's controls. Thanks Ram Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Upgrade from Office 2003 Standard to 2003 Professional Office

    - Get outlook 2003 path Each Outlook folder has a StoreID property that uniquely identifies its parent store -- .pst file or Exchange mailbox. So, for your application, you'd return a folder in the .pst file you've opened, then use its StoreID with the technique suggested. Outlook 2007 makes this much easier, BTW, by providing a complete Store object. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Upgrade from Office 2003 Standard to 2003 Professional Office

    - Outlook Primary Interop Assembly question: how to access Quit event? Thanks to more intense Googling (and confirming proper operation), it looks like the answer is the following: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. Application (); ((Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. ApplicationEvents_11_Event )app).Quit += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. ApplicationEvents_11_QuitEventHandler (HandlerQuit); Why, I'm not sure, and why this isn't exposed differently, I have no idea, though perhaps it has something to do with there being both a Quit method and Quit event( ) Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Upgrade from Office 2003 Standard to 2003 Professional Office

    - VSTO For Office 2003 It is possible to present data from a database in Excel without having VSTO. Most efficient is to put it in an ADO Recordset, then use the CopyFromRecordset method to "drop" it into a workbook range. If you want dynamic links and user interaction, though, then the full VSTO 2005 would definitely be a great asset. No, there's not a lot of documentation out there in pure .NET-speak (especially not C#), although there are some Knowledge Base articles on the Microsoft site. The Excel.programming newsgroup is a good place to find out, in a general way, whether Excel can do something and what part of the object model is required. Then all that remains is to convert that into .NET-speak (which can be a challenge); for that, the office.developer newsgroups are a good place to ask. These resources are all listed in the " Please Read First " message at the top of the forum. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Upgrade from Office 2003 Standard to 2003 Professional Office

    - Attaching objects to mails in outlook using c# The Outlook object model provides no technique for creating an OLE attachment programmatically. It can attach only files and Outlook items. Maybe if Word is the email editor, you can go through Word's object model using MailItem.GetInspector.WordEditor.

    - Help with PDS communication with project server 2003 Hi, I am a newbie and just wanted some more information for an excel add-in I am looking to create. The information seems to be out there somewhere but I am haviong trouble finding out exactly what I need. I am to build and excel 2003 add-in that looks at the timesheet information that is submitted by resources into project server. The add-in will then be used to create various reports. My intial idea was to log on remotely to the server and get a copy of the project files (.mpp), save them as xml files and then use this xml information in the add-in. Further investigation allowed me to stumble upon PDS which by my understanding would allow me to add SOAP commands in order to retrieve the xml information without having to create files on the server. What is confusing me is the use of PDS. Is PDS a feature that needs to be switched on on the server or is it on by default If it need to be switched on how would this be done and would it pose any security risk to the project server data as PDS allows reading and amending of project server data. I have used the PDStest utility to try and retrieve data but I am getting incorrect login error message (error 5002) each time. I have admin access rights on the server and I have been told that the server uses windows authentication. I can log on fine via web access but not via PDS, why is this Thanks in advance for looking at the query even if it seems really simple.

    - Customize rubbon for a document only. Hi mathmax, We have changed the API responsible for accessing Ribbon instances between Beta 2 and RTM. In Beta 2 you could access ribbons using RibbonManager class: Ribbon1 ribbon1 = RibbonManager.GetRibbon<Ribbon1>(); foreach (OfficeRibbon ribbon in RibbonManager.Ribbons) { /* iterate through all ribbon instances */ } In RTM we have changed it to use Globals class: Ribbon1 ribbon1 = Globals.Ribbons.Ribbon1; foreach (OfficeRibbon ribbon in Globals.Ribbons) { /* iterate through all ribbon instances */ } Thank you, Vlad Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Upgrade from Office 2003 Standard to 2003 Professional Office

    - Word 2007 Add-in -- Modal Forms Phil, I have a similar but simpler scenario. I have a single form launched by a toolbar button that I want to limit to a single instance. I used an application setting to store a flag for 'FormIsLoaded' and I set the flag on when the form is first loaded and switch it off when the form closes or the application shuts down. However, I am not sure how to activate the form when the toolbar button is clicked because I get an error that the name 'fm' does not exist in the current context presumably because the compiler thinks it hasn't been instantiated. What should I do Tx, Tad Code Snippet private void ButtonClick(Office. CommandBarButton ctrl, ref bool cancel) { if (Properties. Settings .Default.FormIsLoaded) { fm.Activate();// produces error : name 'fm' does not exist in the current context } else { Properties.

    - EntryID on Exchange... Other possibility? Hi, I need to send some email that I receive with a tracking number in the subject to a SQL database. But for now the webservice are only avalaible from the internal network. My client use RPC ovet HTTP and this mode let you receive email without any needs to be connected with a VPN or some other tunel link. If a Tracked email are received in outlook when the user are outside the internal network, I will not be able to send it to the SQL. I try to save in the Outlook user property the entry ID of the received email to send it later but if the user move the email in another folder the entryID change. I explore 2 possibility, can someone help me to choose the right direction. I know that I eventually have to program a plugin in exchange serveur to avoid this, but for now I can't, I must found a way to acheive this in en VSTO plugin for outlook 1- Save a flag in the email user property, and save a flag in the outlook user property. When Outlook start, he will check if the flag is set to true and if so, he will scan ALL email folder and subfolder to found item with flagged user property. 2- Save a copy of this email in a temp folder to be processed later. This solution are not very good, because I need to save the ID of the database in the original email. I will have to search in the folder to find the original email Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Upgrade from Office 2003 Standard to 2003 Professional Office

    - Form opening up a word.dot VSTO Well, if you think it through, the logic that's bothering you would actually result in an endless loop, as each new document would fire the Startup, etc. Until you ran out of memory. However, the assembly instance is the same for all the documents, so it loads only the one time. After that, it has already started, so won't start again.

    - Copying RTF into word and from word to a richtext box using c# Hi Steve Better to post a new question, with a link to any relevant, existing discussion. If you post to a message thread already marked as "Answered", there's a good chance no one will see it... You're more likely to get a discussion on your question, with possible recommendations for (third-party) transforms in the newsgroup interface. Technically, the office.xml newsgroup would be appropriate, and you should try there. But as that gets relatively little traffic, asking in one of the general office.developer newsgroups (see " Please Read First " at the top of this forum) would be a good idea, as well.

    - Which "Event Handler-adding" code is more appropriate for my application add-in? I've been puzzled by something for a while...every time I go looking for good source to double-check that the CommandBar and buttons I'm adding to one of the Office apps, I seem to come across one or more variants of the two main approaches here. Approach 1 (VB): Private WithEvents uiButton As Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarButton Approach 2 (C#): uiButton.Click += new Microsoft.Office.Core._CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(uiButton_Click); I can't tell if one of these is for application add-ins and the other for document-level add-ins, or if one is VSTO 2005 and the other is new to VSTO 2005 SE, or if one is for VSTO add-ins and the other for "Shared" Add-ins> Or something else. Q: Are these types of Event Handler adding-code entirely equivalent, or are there unique dependencies, constraints or pre-requisites for using one over another Q: When should I use one vs. the other (or can I interchange them) I have a current CommandBarButton that no longer works, and I have no idea why. At some point it was working in this app's code (probably previous to this version): http://www.codeplex.com/word2mediawikipp/SourceControl/FileView.aspx itemId=130408&changeSetId=13025 Now, it no longer fires - even despite the fact that (assuming Visual Studio isn't lying to me and this Solution hasn't magically converted from VSTO for Word to a Shared Add-in) I could swear I have all the right pieces in place (at least according to these forum archives). However, for whatever reason Visual Studio won't break on the Event, and it doesn't even trap a breakpoint that I've set on all pieces of the subroutine in which the developer has involved the buttons: Public Class ThisAddIn Private W2MWPPBar As Office.CommandBar Private WithEvents uiConvert As Office.CommandBarButton Structure CommandBarButtonSettings Friend BeginGroupProperty As Boolean Friend ButtonVariable As Office.CommandBarButton Friend CaptionProperty As String Friend DescriptionTextProperty As String Friend FaceIDProperty As Integer Friend StyleProperty As Office.MsoButtonStyle Friend Tag As String Friend TooltipTextProperty As String End Structure Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me .Startup Dim _Template As Word.Template For Each _Template In Me .Application.Templates If _Template.Name = "W2MWPPTemplate.dot" Then Me .Application.CustomizationContext = _Template End If If Me .Application.CustomizationContext Is Nothing Then _Template = Me .Application.AddIns.Add( "W2MWPPTemplate.dot" ) Me .Application.CustomizationContext = _Template End If Next AddCommandBar( True ) AddCommandBarButtons( True ) W2MWPPBar.Visible = True End Sub Private Sub AddCommandBar( ByVal replaceExisting As Boolean ) Dim _CommandBarsCollection As Office.CommandBars = DirectCast (Application.CommandBars, Office.CommandBars) Try If replaceExisting = True Then W2MWPPBar = _CommandBarsCollection.FindControl(Tag:=TOOLBAR_NAME) If W2MWPPBar IsNot Nothing Then W2MWPPBar.Delete() End If End If If _CommandBarsCollection.FindControl(Tag:=TOOLBAR_NAME) Is Nothing Then W2MWPPBar = _CommandBarsCollection.Add(TOOLBAR_NAME, _ Office.MsoBarPosition.msoBarTop, _ False , _ False ) Else W2MWPPBar = Application.CommandBars(TOOLBAR_NAME) End If Catch ex As System.ArgumentException MessageBox.Show( String .Format( "{0} add-in's toolbar could not be found - you won't be able to upload to the Wiki until you restart Word and/or reinstall the Add-in." , TOOLBAR_NAME) _ + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + String .Format( "Error: {0}" , ex.Message), _ TOOLBAR_NAME, _ MessageBoxButtons.OK, _ MessageBoxIcon.Error) Exit Sub End Try End Sub Private Sub AddCommandBarButtons( ByVal replaceExistingButtons As Boolean ) Dim buttonSettings As New CommandBarButtonSettings() Dim buttonsList As New ArrayList() buttonSettings.ButtonVariable = uiConvert buttonSettings.CaptionProperty = "Convert to Wiki" buttonSettings.DescriptionTextProperty = "Converts Word Documents to MediaWiki format." buttonSettings.FaceIDProperty = 2144 buttonSettings.StyleProperty = Office.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption buttonSettings.Tag = "W2MWPP Convert" buttonSettings.TooltipTextProperty = "Word2MediaWiki++ - Convert to MediaWiki syntax and upload formatted text" buttonsList.Add(buttonSettings) buttonSettings.ButtonVariable = uiUpload buttonSettings.CaptionProperty = "Upload Images" buttonSettings.DescriptionTextProperty = String .Empty buttonSettings.FaceIDProperty = 38 buttonSettings.StyleProperty = Office.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption buttonSettings.Tag = "W2MWPP Upload" buttonSettings.TooltipTextProperty = "Word2MediaWiki++ - Upload Images to wiki" buttonsList.Add(buttonSettings) buttonSettings.ButtonVariable = uiConfig buttonSettings.CaptionProperty = "Configure Word2MediaWiki++" buttonSettings.DescriptionTextProperty = String .Empty buttonSettings.FaceIDProperty = 277 buttonSettings.StyleProperty = Office.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption buttonSettings.Tag = "W2MWPP Config" buttonSettings.TooltipTextProperty = "Word2MediaWiki++ - Add-in Configuration" buttonsList.Add(buttonSettings) If replaceExistingButtons = True Then For Each _buttonSettings As CommandBarButtonSettings In buttonsList _buttonSettings.ButtonVariable = W2MWPPBar.FindControl(Tag:=_buttonSettings.Tag) If _buttonSettings.ButtonVariable IsNot Nothing Then _buttonSettings.ButtonVariable.Delete() End If Next End If For Each _ButtonSettings As CommandBarButtonSettings In buttonsList If W2MWPPBar.FindControl(Tag:=_ButtonSettings.Tag) Is Nothing Then buttonSettings.ButtonVariable = CType (W2MWPPBar.Controls.Add(1), _ Office.CommandBarButton) Else buttonSettings.ButtonVariable = W2MWPPBar.FindControl(Tag:=_ButtonSettings.Tag) End If Try With buttonSettings.ButtonVariable .Caption = _ButtonSettings.CaptionProperty .DescriptionText = _ButtonSettings.DescriptionTextProperty If .FaceId < 2 Then .FaceId = _ButtonSettings.FaceIDProperty End If .Style = _ButtonSettings.StyleProperty .Tag = _ButtonSettings.Tag .TooltipText = _ButtonSettings.TooltipTextProperty End With Catch ex As System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException If ex.ErrorCode = -2147467259 Then MessageBox.Show( String .Format( "The {0} toolbar has misconfigured one of its buttons.

Oleg Krupnov

Hello,

Could someone please give me the link where people could upgrade from Office 2003 Standard Edition to Office 2003 Professional Edition

I've tried to find that link myself on the Microsoft website, but they seem to have replaced all links with Office 2007 links.

My users are yet not ready to upgrade to 2007 but still would like to use my VSTO customizations, so I'd like to suggest them upgrading to 2003 Professional.

Thanks,
Oleg.

Oleg,

If you've developed VSTO 2003 document-level customizations (e.g., Word), these will work in Office 2007; and in most cases, with minor changes.

I developed a significant VSTO Word 2003 document-level customization, and have it running on both 2003 and 2007. My only real problems reside on the Tablet PC implementation, because of some specialized Toolbars I create ... but that's about it.

Something else to consider, asking your clients to spend money on Office 2003 Prof. only for them to have to later purchase Office 2007, seems like an added expense that your clients shouldn't have to endure. Also, this is just an FYI: VSTO solutions for Office 2003 required Pro. but under Office 2007, any edition supports VSTO customizations (there is a post, somewhere in this forum, from a MS employee that discusses this very point).

Good-luck.
