Office Add-in Express is a development tool for creating Microsoft Office COM Add-ins, allowing users to develop a single component that can run throughout the entire Office Suite.
One of the great things about Add-in Express is that it hides the complexity of implementing the IDTExtensibility2 interface that COM add-in architecture is based on. This makes it much easier for developers to create powerful add-ins without having to spend hours dealing with complicated code.
Creating add-in projects with Add-in Express is incredibly simple. With just a couple of clicks, developers can create their own toolbars and place buttons, edit boxes, combo boxes, and pop-ups onto them. Add-in Express handles all of the control hiding, deletion, and moving to other toolbars, as well as allows handling the controls' events.
To develop a COM add-in, developers can use Delphi forms, standard controls, and components. The Add-in Express Wizard allows developers to create add-in projects quickly and easily. The Quick Demo project even includes a sample CO to help developers get started.
Overall, Add-in Express is an excellent tool for any developer looking to create powerful and effective Microsoft Office COM add-ins in Delphi. With its ease of use, wide range of functionality, and ability to work across the entire Office suite, it's definitely worth checking out.
