Hello,
This is my first Visual Studio project.
Interested in consuming a Web Service to return data to MS Excel 2016.
Installed Visual Studio Enterprise Edition 2015 and MS Excel 2016 on a Windows 7, 64 bit PC.
Following process described in Microsoft library document dd819156. (described using with Excel 2007)
I have installed the OfficeToolsForVS2015, version 7.1.504
When I launch Visual Studio, I select File, New, Project. I then select VTSO Add ins, "Excel 2013 and 2016 VTSO Workbook" Press Ok button twice.
Get the following Error
"Adaptor Addin" is not working correctly. Excel might have disabled the
addin or made it inactive, or all addins might be disabled in your
Trust Center settings. Check the add‐in status in Excel Options. If the
addin is active and enabled, reinstall or repair Visual Studio Tools for
Office."
When I open Excel the Addin is Active
General View and manage Microsoft Office Add-ins.
Formulas
Proofing Add-ins
Save Name5 Location Type
Language Active Application Add-ins
Team Foundation Add-in "C:\...osoft Shared\Team Foundation Server\14.0\x86\TFSOfficeAdd-in.dll" COM Add-in
Advanced Visual Studio Tools for Office Design-Time Adaptor for Excel C:\...al Studio 14.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\x86\VSTOExcelAdaptor.dll COM Add-in
Trust Center settings are also fine.
I tried reinstalling the VTSO.
Am I doing something wrong? I do have an older version "2010" of VTSO on my PC, but Excel is not referencing it.
thanks,

I am working with an Outlook VSTO Region in Appointment window where I am searching and adding attendees from all address books. I couldn't make anything else to work except sequentially searching the GAL for contacts. However I am stuck at the point where I go for a contacts availability as no matter which method I use I get the error
Cannnot
load free/busy information
so far I have tried:
Outlook.AddressEntry
Outlook.ExchangeUser Outlook.Recipient
and all of them return the same error. In outlook I can see my contact's availability then why I can't get it programmatically?

Hi,
I do have requirement of stopping shifting of cells within our named ranges; as shifting of cells leads to data integrity issue in our application. Whole Objective is either user shall be able to add whole row or delete row but shifting of cells from insert or delete shall not be allowed in specific area of worksheet.
I have tried out alternate approach like Hiding Native Insert/Delete button and pushing our own custom buttons in row & cell context menu. but i am not able to disable shortcut keys like CTRL + & CTRL -.
Any quick help on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm using the code from the answer my previous question here to only hook a keyboard shortcut only if an Outlook mail item is selected. However, in reality I need to scope it further to only hook the keyboard shortcut IF the focus is in the message body or subject field and NOT if the focus is in the To, Cc, Bcc fields. I've looked around, but I haven't found any answers. There must be a way to do this as button are disabled and keyboard short cuts produce different actions in Outlook depending on where the focus is.
//We will handle your issue in these place.
if (Functions.IsKeyDown(Keys.ControlKey) && keyData == Keys.D1)
{
//We will find out whether inspecotrs exist in your outlook.
if (Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.Inspectors.Count > 0)
{
try
{
//we will try to get the active inspector.
Outlook.Inspector inspector = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveInspector();
//we will try to find out whether the inspector is for a mail item.
Outlook.MailItem item = inspector.CurrentItem as Outlook.MailItem;
//We will find out whether the mail item is a new item. If it is, this inspector is a mail compose inspector
if (item != null)
{
if (item.SenderName == null){
--> Need to detect which field current has focus in MainItem
MessageBox.Show("Yes, this is I want!");}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("No, this isn't I want!");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
}
I want to get the context menu items on the mail item(outbox of outlook) programmatically from my outlook add-in. I ideally want to programmatically in C# get the context menu item on a mail item and perform invoke operation on the custom context menu item
say "MyContextMenuItem". Everything getting context menu on mail item, iterating to find my item and performing the click, should happen programmatically. I googled around and found to add context item but not able to retrieve programmatically.
Your reply would be of great help.Please Find the attachment for more details.
Thank you..
Hi,
I have a VS2010 application that creates and sends an Outlook 2010 e-mail using VSTO however due to some recent changes in regulation we are now required to send all e-mails using a specific secure method.
The organisation that offer the encryption service provides an add-in that adds a button to the Message tab in the ribbon displayed by the mail item inspector however they provide no programmatic interface to be able to automate sending e-mails. As many of our e-mails are templated and we record when they are sent, it is not practical to simply display the mail item and expect the user to click the button to send it. However I cannot find any way of automating clicking this button or even referring to it as all examples that I can find assume that the code is being executed from an add-in which in this case it isn't.
Can anyone help? I'm pretty new to VSTO.
Please tell me why "Session" is giving me an error.

Problem Description: We have Addins component which runs properly. When we install this component It create a button {SaveDocument}in word.
But when we uninstall the Addins component , It doesn’t remove "SaveDocument" button.
Atempt: - According to findings, We found that button information store in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm. So, if some how, we can remove button information from Normal.dotm, then It can be removed easily, without deleting other setting in Normal.dotm
Requirement: -
I tried to search on internet for editing and remove that button information from Normal.dotm using vb.net. But, till now, I haven't found any helpful article.
Kindly assist, I will be really thankful.

}I tried to add event to the item, but got the below error

Hi,
I have a VSTO Word addin that loops through existing content controls of the active document, identifies the Picture content controls and sets an image file to these. It works generally, but as soon as one of these PictureControlControl elements is placed
inside of a text box (for better positioning), Word 2010 crashes when I execute the following code, while Word 2016 works fine.
When a document is opened, which already have set the images in the PictureContentControl, the picture should be re-set (the picture file may change). So I delete existing shapes inside the InlineShapes collection of the content control range.
I use the following code (simplified):
private void ReadPlaceHolderValues(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document Doc)
{
// loop through all placeholder elements
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range sr in Doc.StoryRanges)
{
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ContentControl cc in sr.ContentControls)
{
if (cc.Type == Word.WdContentControlType.wdContentControlPicture)
{
string imagePath = "C:\\temp\\sample.emf";
// remove existing shapes from range
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.InlineShape shape in cc.Range.InlineShapes)
{
shape.Delete();
}
// add picture
var imageShape = cc.Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture(imagePath);
}
}
}
}
Am I doing something wrong in my code? Why causes the cc.Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture(imagePath); call Word to crash, if the content control is placed inside a text box? Is it a bug in Word 2010 (because it works in 2016), and is there any workaround?

In my VSTO application, I was struggling to convert from WdColor enum to the Color struct. WdColor uses 24-bit integers but they are not RGB.
As it turns out, WdColor seems to use BGR (the bytes are "backwards").
There are surely better mathematical ways of accomplishing this, but for what it's worth here's my solution:
publicclass WdColorColorConverter : IValueConverter {publicobject Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) {if (!(value is WdColor)) {return Colors.Black; }elseif ((WdColor)value == WdColor.wdColorAutomatic) {return Colors.Black; }else {int intValue = ((WdColor)value).GetHashCode();string hexValue = intValue.ToString("X").PadLeft(6, '0');string redHex = hexValue.Substring(4, 2);string greenHex = hexValue.Substring(2, 2);string blueHex = hexValue.Substring(0, 2);byte redByte = byte.Parse(redHex, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);byte greenByte = byte.Parse(greenHex, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);byte blueByte = byte.Parse(blueHex, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier); Color c = Color.FromRgb(redByte, greenByte, blueByte); return c; } } publicobject ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) {thrownew NotImplementedException(); } }
Hi
Is there a reliable way to convert word.wdcolor to system.drawing.color in vsto word addin (specially when word.wdcolor returns a negative integer).
Thanks
