The mechanics of the initial installation and the distribution mechanism of configuration settings differ more substantially and are described in separate sections. If there is some variation in detail, this is mentioned directly in the text. Most aspects of deploying think-cell are the same on both supported platforms (Windows or macOS). A.1 Considerations before installation A.2 Initial installation A.3 Ongoing maintenance A.1 Considerations before installation If you want to install a personal copy of think-cell on your computer, please refer to Installation and update. See a sample Office COM add-in project in Delphi.This chapter describes how to deploy think-cell in a larger organization. Make Office development comfortable and enjoyable. Today the bundle of Delphi and Add-in Express can become the best platform for your Office extensions due to a perfect Delphi compiler that produces fast and compact Win32 and Win64 binaries, and Add-in Express components that Office developers definitely need a better alternative. Office extensions areīecoming overgrown with more and more additional technologies that complicate Office development, encumber deployment and slow down the performance of Office solutions. The fact is that VB6 is not supported by Microsoft any longer while it was one of the best platforms for Office customization. The best platform for your Office plug-ins See how to develop RTD servers and Excel Automation add-ins step-by-step.īoth technologies work on Excel 2002 - 2021/365. Automation add-ins allow you to create custom functions that the end-user can use in formulas on his workbooks. On Add-in Express are inprocess-servers (DLLs) and may contain an unlimited number of RTD topics. An RTD server can make Excel a client for any real-time data sources. In addition to common Office plug-ins, Add-in Express supports two Excel-specific extensions: real-time data servers and automation add-ins. Excel RTD servers and user-defined functions Smart tag projects based on Add-in Express work on all Office applications supporting this technology, namely: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook 2002 and higher. See an example of creating smart tags in Delphi. A smart tag project based on Add-in Express can include one or several smart tags, and each of them may contain its action list and one or several recognizable words (phrases, masks, etc.) (stand-alone smart tags or smart tag libraries). Advanced Outlook Form and View Regions.įinally, using the built-in Office Automation Server components and specially-designed event helpers, Add-in Express provides accessĬOM add-ins based on Add-in Express work on all Office applications supporting this technology, namely:įor Office smart tags, Add-in Express supports both versions of the Smart Tag technology by implementing the ISmartTagRecognizer and ISmartTagRecognizer2 interfaces and allows you to create static or dynamic recognizers It delivers components and designers for standard customization of the Office GUI (menus, toolbars, ribbons, etc.)Īs well as for enhanced customization, e.g. Office COM add-insĪdd-in Express for Office and Delphi implements all COM-interfaces required by the COM Add-in specification such as IDTExtensibility2 and Implement all necessary technology-specific features.
