Hello.
I make VSTO Excel/Word/Powerpoint AddIn.
I use Office default SaveDialog and Office.FileDialog[Office.MsoFileDialogType.msoFileDialogSaveAs]
Two Dialogs has differences.
Default dialog has [Author] [Tags] [Title] and [Save thumbnail] , but Office.dialog doesn't.
Can I remove Default dialog's option ?
Can I add option to Office.dialog ?

I've created this Outlook button AddIn that needs to be displayed on the "Home" tab in Outlook.
Created this and also a setup project to be able to deploy the .msi files on to the client machines.
The issue Im facing is, when the setup project is "Built","Rebuilt" or "Install"ed the button appears in Outlook. If I run the XX.msi file or the setup.exe file, the button doesn't show up on the tab.
My OS is 32 bit and MSOffice is 32 bit as well. I have the registry setting in HKEY_USER.
Also when I try modifying the prerequisites location to local in the Setup project, the "Build" action throws me a missing dotnetfx3.5Clientprofile.exe error for which I installed the client profile but in vain.
If this is unselected, and the project is built, I again see the AddIn in outlook. So In any case the Build or Install function works.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi,
We are developing outlook Add-Inusing Office.Js. For the security reason we couldn't deploy our Addin in the customer place they blocked the admin center.
So we are developing the Add-In using VSTO outlook but we are facing two issues.
1) In VSTO outlook project I'm referencing the office.JS using the Webbrowser control but office js is not initialized properly so does VSTO support Office.JS?
2) Office JS has callback method to send the token to download the email attachments from the Exchange server We are trying to replace the Office.Js with VSTO outlook add-in but how do I get the token in VSTO outlook to download the email attachments from the Exchange server.
Please help me on this issues.

I am writing a VSTO for Word 2010. I want to exam the shapes in a msoGroup shape but failed to get the shapes in the group. Here are my tries:
public void TestGroupShapes_Action(Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonControl control)
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument;
foreach(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Shape shape in doc.Shapes)
{
if (shape.Type == Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoShapeType.msoGroup)
{
/*
// System.InvalidCastException:
// Cannot convert System.__ComObject to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Shape”
foreach (Shape groupShape in shape.GroupItems)
{
Console.WriteLine(groupShape.Name);
}
*/
for(int i=0; i<shape.GroupItems.Count; i++)
{
// System.ArgumentException: Cannot use the index in the assembly.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Shape groupShape = shape.GroupItems[i];
Console.WriteLine(groupShape.Name);
}
}
}
}How to solve the problem?
I am new in the .Net world. I am writing an Addin in C#(vsto) for Excel, where I want to read all the fonts styles that are used in every cells in a given the Excel worksheet. The below code works,
List<string> fontsInSheet =newList<string>();Excel.Range usedRange = currentSheet.UsedRange;for(int i =1; i <= usedRange.Rows.Count; i++){for(int j =1; j <= usedRange.Columns.Count; j++){Range excelCellRange = currentSheet.Cells[i, j];if(!(excelCellRange.Font.NameisDBNull)&&(!fontsInSheet.Contains(excelCellRange.Font.Name))){
fontsInSheet.Add(excelCellRange.Font.Name);}}}But the nested for loops are unfortunately too slow if Excel sheets are too big. So, ist there better solution available to retrieve used font styles more efficiently. Thanks in advance.
I am new in the .Net world. I am writing an Addin in C#(vsto) for Excel, where I want read out all the font styles available in the given Excel file. I would like to know if the user has any fonts custom installed for the Office Application. The below piece of code helps retrieve all the installed font including both custom installed and default office fonts.
InstalledFontCollection installedFontCollection = new InstalledFontCollection();
FontFamily[] fontFamilies = installedFontCollection.Families;
Could you please let me know if there is anyway to programmatically distinguish between the default Office Application fonts and Custom installed?
Hi,
I am reading cell values using my C# application. Using Excel 2013 (64-Bit) this works fast. Using Excel from Office365 32-Bit it is 10 times slower. The code is the same.
What can I do to improve the performance with Office365?
Thanks,
Christian
In relation to... Visual Studio 2015, VB.net, Excel VSTO Ribbon Addin, Custom Task Panes...
I'm trying to refresh a textbox on a custom task pane created through a vsto ribbon addin.
When a sheet change event occurs I would like the textbox to update its value to the value of a cell.
Basically the textbox should be the same as the cell.
I can't seem to trigger the custom task pane events from outside the custom task pane or even just directly change the textbox value.
Hi,
I am dragging and dropping an email from inbox to my custom folder under inbox. While dragging and dropping email I want to find my destination folder.
I am using the below code.
Outlook.MailItem mailItem =(Outlook.MailItem)item;
Outlook.Folder parentFolder = mailItem.ParentasOutlook.Folder;
This works fine if I have Outlook with Exchange Server. But If have some other mail server(eg. ArgoSoft Mail Server)
it always returns "Inbox" as the folder name.
Is there any way I can get the actual folder name where I am dropping my email from mailItem ?
I would like to check the references of the VB project, using FullPath, when I testing it on some pcs, it throw aSystem.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException. Error message is Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)). testing with excel 2016 64 bit. Could anyone help me with it? Thanks in advance!!
I have an app that creates a MeetingItem from an .ics file. I have used OutlookSpy to get to the Definitions of most of the fields that I need to use. However, I still can’t locate the correct definitions for:
X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONS (which is a JSON string) and
ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;RSVP=TRUE;CN=
an email address which shows up in Outlook as RequiredAttendees
Here is the code snippet that I use to open the .ics file (nothing fancy):
Private Const con_PR_START_DATE = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x00600040" Private Const con_PR_END_DATE = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x00610040"
Dim objMeeting as Outlook.MeetingItem
Dim objPropAcc as Outlook.PropertyAccessorobjMeeting = mpnNamespace.OpenSharedItem(strTempFilesDir & "\Cal01.ics") Debug.Print($"objMeeting.Subject: {objMeeting.Subject}") objPropAcc = objMeeting.PropertyAccessor Debug.Print($"PR_START_DATE: {CDate(objPropAcc.GetProperty(con_PR_START_DATE)).ToLocalTime}") Debug.Print($"PR_END_DATE: {CDate(objPropAcc.GetProperty(con_PR_END_DATE)).ToLocalTime}")
As you can see, I already have some of the definitions (of Properties) that I need, I just need theX-MICROSOFT-DEFINITIONS (which is how it’s declared in the .ics file), and RequiredAttendees value (which is somehow built from ATTENDEE declaration in the .ics file).
I have searched online for several days in an effort to find the correct KEY (Guid, etc), but cannot find any reference to these properties.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time in advance.

I'd appreciate help determining why my Word VSTO Add-In is causing 45 second load times.
The Add-In is used by multiple customers, only one of which experience this issue. I can not reproduce the problem on any of my test environments. (all running Windows 10, Office 365)
Findings:
How can I better understand what Word is doing during that 45 seconds? It's a black box that I can't seem to peer into.
Any help greatly appreciated
As I understand it, to capture the active cell is done by accessing:
Workbook.Application.ActiveCell
But how do you capture the active cell on a Worksheet that is not currently active?
Before anyone goes and suggests that there is no "ActiveCell" on a worksheet that is not currently active, I'm going to stop you right there and say that conceptually yes, there is. When you visit a worksheet, select a cell, move to another worksheet, select a cell, and then go back to the original worksheet, your originally selected cell on that worksheet is still selected. THIS is the cell I want. And I want to capture it programatically using VSTO/COM Interop.
Any help would be appreciated.
In my vsto word plugin, for a document I am keeping the history of changes inside content controls. I export the content control range as HTML. The problem occurs with numbering inside document when i want to replace the content control with some previous range html. e.g.
I am using Range.exportfragement() method for getting the HTML. I tried inserting range with both range.insertfile() and range.importfragement(). Both have same result.
I tried extracting the XML out of the content control -> It gives numbering correctly while inserting again, but if i export as XML then all of the child content controls inside the exported range are gone. Only html export have capability to maintain info about child content controls.
I'm working on an Outlook VSTO add-in, installed on Outlook 2016.
The goal of the add-in is that, when working on a meeting/appointment and clicking a button we added to the ribbon, an additional link is added to the item. It then can be sent as usual.
What we discovered is that, once this is done, reopening the appointment from the calendar requires to ctrl+click the link to open it, until we close outlook and reopen it.
Basically, if I:
=> the link can be accessed by clicking on it
but if I
=> the link can be accessed by ctrl+clicking on it
If I then close and reopen outlook, and open the appointment B, the click can be accessed bu clicking on it
I reduced the scope of the code to the following:
public void InsertLink(IRibbonControl control)
{
// Get the appointment that is being send.
Outlook.Inspector inspector = Globals.MyAddin.Application.ActiveInspector();
inspector.CurrentItem.Location = "test";
}I tried a few different ways (Saving it, closing it...) to no avail
Has anyone here any idea on how to slove this?
