Add-in Express implements everything required by the COM add-in, smart tag and Excel RTD server technologies, adds to IDE several wizards, installs technology-specific components, and organizes projects through the special RAD modules. All this makes COM add-in development much faster and easier. With Add-in Express there is no need to develop different add-ins for different applications. Each add-in based on Add-in Express is shared, so applications can be added or removed from the supported application list at any time. Add-in Express .NET completely supports all main applications from the Microsoft Office Family: Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Visio, Project, MapPoint, Publisher, Access and FrontPage. With Add-in Express .NET developers can: - Create command bars and controls at design time. - Handle all events of all MS Office applications. - Intercept custom and built-in shortcuts and use them for custom controls, substitute built-in controls with new ones. - Place custom controls and any built-in controls together on command bars, menus and context menus. - Embed a code into event handlers of the built-in controls such as the Send button in Outlook, the Save menu item in Word, the Find command in Excel, and more. In addition, Add-in Express provides some advanced features for Outlook, Excel and Word developers. - For Outlook developers: the support of the multi-explorer and multi-inspector modes, trusted add-ins; option pages for the main Outlook Options dialog and property pages for the Folder Properties dialog; Outlook Explorer- and Outlook Inspector-specific command bars etc. - For Excel developers: the development of Excel COM add-ins and Excel Automation add-ins; custom worksheet functions in Excel formulas; handling any MSForms controls embedded into Excel workbooks; combining add-ins, custom worksheet functions and MSForms controls in one project. - For Word developers: handling any MSForms controls embedded into Word documents.
