How to use in Office Word Addin?
Hi, I am a beginner of Ole, how can I use this OleServer in Office Word?
This is how I currently do it.
var oleShape = doc.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject("SharpOleTest.COLEObjectTest", Type.Missing, false, false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing).OLEFormat;

这个项目并不是打算提供开包即用的OLE功能，它只是一个很简单的小例子，用来实现复制可以在Word里渲染的OLE对象的功能，所以应该是做不到双击编辑操作的。
想要双击编辑应该要重写Main函数然后在操作系统里注册COM对象ID和你的程序，具体的方法我现在不太记得了，如果你有需要我可以周末确认一下。你有兴趣的话也可以去研究一下VC++里的MFC框架，OLE功能实现最完善的就是MFC框架了。
Thanks Reply. At present, I want to implement this function, but my knowledge in this area is not enough. If you have free time on the weekend, please guide me, thank you very much!

I found an old book INSIDE OLE 2, published by Microsoft in 1994. I think I can try to write a working example, but it will take me some time, probably a few weeks.
If you want it very soon, this is the steps towards an editable OLE object:
- Ensure COM library can find the executable, which can be either a DLL or an EXE, by adding to the system registry. For DLL, we need to export a function called
DllGetClassObjectto create COM objects of specific CLSID. For EXE, we need to callCoRegisterClassObjectAPI providing our ownIClassFactoryobject when launched with the-Embeddingcommand line parameter. I am not sure how .NET of today can help us with these steps. Maybe we only need to apply attributes like I did in this project. Need some test. - There are 2 methods of editing. The simpler one is to edit in our own process. The user will see our application being started once double clicked over the embedded object. For this to work, in the implementation of
IOleObject, we need to provide editing verbs, and when the editing is triggered, show our window in a special mode (e.g., without Save/Save As menus) and start editing the OLE object. Interacting with the host application should be through theIAdviseSinkinterface received from the OLE object. - The harder way is to embed an editor inside the host application. For this to work, the implementation must be in a DLL. This is done with a new interface
IOleInPlaceActiveObjecton the OLE object. When the host wants an in-place editing, this interface will receive anIOleInPlaceSitethrough a call, which is then used to interact with the UI of the host application. I would say this mode worked well with old UI styles on Windows that uses standard menus and toolbars, but might be problematic on today's application full of custom UI elements and ribbons.
There are many details that I need to confirm. Making a full-featured OLE application is quite hard. I think I may end up with an example that is capable with out-of-process editing and nothing more. If you want to try yourself and have any questions, feel free to comment here.
Thanks Kopp, these solutions look cool, but I've never worked with MFC (it took me a lot of time to compile my FirstMFCApp). As you said "I like C#", I want to implement this functionality on .Net.
Of course, if .Net really doesn't work, I think I can spend time researching how to combine them.
Take the liberty to ask, are you from China?
.NET can do almost everything that C++ does. Also COM interop is one of the features of .NET since its first version. So what I talked about are all for C#. Don't worry.
I stayed in Canada for some years and have come back to China recently.
