Office® XP Development with VBA

Shared Components Overview

There are several Office shared components:

• The Office Assistant provides an animated character that can interact with your users.

• The FileDialog object lets users select files and folders.

• The FileSearch object lets users locate disk files that meet certain criteria.

• Command Bars let you create custom toolbars and menus for your project.

• Document properties keep track of information about any Office document.

• The HTMLProject object represents HTML code in an Office document.

• Scripts let you use VBScript code in an Office document.

The first five items on this list are needed most often, and will be covered in this chapter. You can find information about the other shared components in the Office Developer online help.
