Chapter 2 : Home - Office Dev Center Get this from a library! Developing applications for Microsoft Exchange with C++. [Ben Goetter] -- Contains all source code and files necessary to create the sample applications in the book, Matt Curland's Object Navigator tool and the Microsoft WordBasic Type Library on accompanying CD-ROM. Office is an open market for developers who want to reinvent productivity, backed by a consumer base of 1. Qi Lu welcomed developers to the Office ecosystem in his Build keynote, and showcased new robust extensibility features that enable you to create custom experiences in Office that look and feel native. A new wave of excitement and growth is sweeping through the Office ecosystem, and there is no better time to be an Office developer. And no better tool than Visual Studio to get started! As a Visual Studio user, you can get started right away and take advantage of all the new Office extensibility goodness inside the IDE. Preview 2 adds the support for SharePoint solutions and add-in development in Visual Studio, on top of the new features available in Update 2 of Office Developer Tools. New Office Add-in Project Templates We found that most developers start an add-in project with the goal of creating a customized experience inside a single Office application. This insight led us to simplify the flow of creating a new Office add-in project inside Visual Studio. With the new templates, you can create add-ins that add new functionality to an Office host. You can build task pane add-ins or use add-in commands to create buttons in the Office ribbon. With the Excel and PowerPoint templates, you can also create content add-ins, which embed interactive objects such as maps or data visualizations into the document itself. You will be presented with the option when you create the add-in project. New Starter Code Each host-specific add-in template now has simpler project structure and great starter code that showcases the new Office extensibility features such as add-in commands, Fabric UI, and enriched host-specific Office. If you want to try out the new features, you can just press F5 and run the starter code in the project to see what it looks like, without changing a single line of code. The Office ribbon is a new extension point made available through add-in commands. In the case of our sample, clicking the add-in button opens a task pane. One thing to note here is that add-in commands are not available in Office or Office builds earlier than version The sample manifest in the starter code shows you how to make a single add-in compatible with all Office versions by lighting up add-in command features in Office and falling back to task pane behavior for older versions. Fabric UI Looking through the starter code, you may also wonder where the UI of the add-in is designed, since the Home. You no longer have to write custom css to make your add-in look like a part of Office. The simple example you will see in the starter code is using the APIs to load sample data for the add-in into the Excel spreadsheet, and to highlight the highest value from the range of cells you select. Again, some older versions of Office do not support the new version of the APIs. As you can see below, the starter code illustrates how to create fallback logic for older versions of Office so that this single add-in is compatible with all Office versions. The other templates for Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint add-ins have starter code that features slightly different tasks applicable to each application. SharePoint Development Last but not least! We would love to hear any feedback you have or issues you run into with the updates for Office Developer Tools. You can start using the new Office extensibility features once you install or update to the latest version of Office Please note that for the older Office versions, you need to take some additional steps to enable F5 debugging of projects with add-in commands. Please refer to this samples site to get more information. If you would like to keep on top of the latest updates on Office and get access to Office builds that even include developer features in Preview, you can enroll in the Office Insiders Program by following the links below.
