Creating Add-in for Visual Basic Editor
-
Hello all. I need some help regarding add-ins. I want to create an Add-in for the Visual Basic Editor (open any Office application and hit Alt+F11 to see what I'm talking about). I also want to make it using Visual C++ since that's what I'm familiar with. I don't have any experience with ATL/COM (yet), so if anyone out there can provide some information I would be very greatful. A step-by-step guide would also be helpful. At the very least, some links/code snippets to get me started. Thank you.

I think that's a great idea also. Most of my co-workers use VB6 and they wish they had a way to use macros like in .Net or VC6. [insert witty comment here] bdiamond :zzz:
I have found an example that uses C++/ATL to make a COM add-in for Office, but I'm new to ATL/COM and am having difficulties understanding it. If you do a search on msdn.microsoft.com for "comaddin.exe" you'll find it.
