Add-in won't work

[Ernest L. Lippert]

The BeforePrint code below, when placed in This Workbook object, works fine.
However, when it is saved as an xla file to create an Add-In, it doesn't
work in another workbook even though the Add-In "FooterYesNo" is checked in
the Add-In Manager.



What haven't I done correctly?

Regards,

Ernie

Many thanks, Bob. Will give it a try later today.

ThisWorkBook now applies to the add-in and this is not getting printed.
So, the Workbook_BeforePrint event won't get triggered.

This is a way to handle this:

In your Add-in have this code in the Workbook_Open event, make sure it is
not in the Workbook_Open event
of the ActiveWorkbook:

Option Explicit
Dim WithEvents xlApp As Excel.Application

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set xlApp = Excel.Application
End Sub

Private Sub xlApp_WorkbookBeforePrint(ByVal Wb As Workbook, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = PrintSheetFooter()
End Sub


Then in your Add-in have this code in a normal Module:

Option Explicit

Function PrintSheetFooter() As Boolean

Dim ans As VbMsgBoxResult
Dim sht As Worksheet

'Based on John Walkenbach, Microsoft Excel 2000 Power
'Programming with VBA, ISBN 0-7654-3263-4 (1999) p. 527

ans = MsgBox("Add path to footer?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Tell Me")

If ans = vbNo Then
For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
sht.PageSetup.LeftFooter = ""
Next sht
Else
For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
sht.PageSetup.LeftFooter = "&8" & LCase(ActiveWorkbook.FullName)
Next sht
End If

ans = MsgBox("Print this sheet?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Tell me")

If ans = vbNo Then
PrintSheetFooter = True
End If

End Function

The following code works fine as an Add-In. In addition to Bob Phillips'
advice, I received a second method but it was more complex. In Bob's code, I
deleted the lines



Private Sub App_WindowActivate(ByVal Wb As Workbook, ByVal Wn As Window)

Wn.Caption = Wb.FullName

End Sub



Since it didn't seem to add functionality. Thanks for the help.

You are right about that. That is the app event that I use, and I just added
to it for you, but forgot to remove that bit. My bad.
