Dependent on PIA's

[Nick]

Hi there,

I have an Office Addin that I would like to change so that it is not
dependent on .NET programability support. I'm just after finding out the
quickest way of achieving this, should I remove all .NET references to
office and just use late binding. But this way how do I get a reference to
the Office namespace? Is there a specific COM library that I need to
include? Cheers!

Hi again,

The reason I need a reference to the Office namespace is so that I can
use the type references

"MsoControlType.msoControlButton" and
"MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption"

I'm presuming I can get the style type from the buttons Style property,
i.e.

<buttonobj>.Style.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption ? Although I'm
not positive until I have got the type refrence to msoControlButton.

Any ideas? Thanks loads in advance.

Nick.

Hi there,

After reading the article I am still slightly confused as to what I need
to reference in order to use the COM equivilent of the Microsoft.Office.Core
namespace rather than the .NET assembly that's registered in the GAK. This
article although it doesnt require any PIA's it doesnt actually need the
core office types in order to create a toolbar button etc.

Does anyone have an example of an office add-in that uses types from the
core office namespace yet doesnt require the office PIA's? Thanks loads in
advance.
