host application and add-in application
-
Hi I do have an managed c++ application. I would like to write the addin application for my application. So I went to create the sheared add-in in visitual studio. Select Create New Project->Extensiblity->Shared Add-in. The wizard asks for application host name. There are Miscrosoft word, microsoft excel.. etc. How can I make my application, the one I wrote, showed in the host list in wizard? Thanks

Hi! I think you're using the wrong approach. Shared Add-ins are meant to be used in MS Office Applications _only_. If you want your application to act as a plugin host, you'll have to design it explicitely to do so. Try searching CP, there are several articles about the subject (although I don't know if there are any in MC++, but the concepts are the same regardless of programming language).
