Writing Code in the Add-in Designer

  • Article

After you have specified general information for a COM add-in in the add-in designer, you can begin writing code in the designer's class module. To view the add-in designer's class module, right-click the add-in designer in the Project Explorer, and then click View Code on the shortcut menu.

Code that is in the add-in designer handles the add-in's integration with the host application. For example, code that runs when the add-in is loaded or unloaded resides in the add-in designer's module. If the add-in contains forms, the add-in designer might contain code to display the forms.
