This walkthrough demonstrates how to integrate Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) into an existing, unmanaged VBA-enabled MFC application, for the purpose of showing VBA/VSTA side-by-side interoperability, as well as to identify some of the issues that may be faced by VBA Partners who wish to add VSTA to their VBA-enabled applications.

 

Overview

Tasks illustrated in this walkthrough include:

·         Installation and setup of the unmanaged, VBA host application.

·         Creating a proxy source DLL.

·         Creating project templates.

·         Loading and unloading VSTA Add-ins.

·         Displaying the VSTA IDE programmatically from the host application.
