C++ Programing for Excel

**pierre08** · 04-18-2011, 05:05 AM

Hey guys,

I have a project where i need to use the C++ language to manipulate Excel, to take some values from excel, to write in it, to take the backround color of a cell....
So i wanted to know if it's possible to do that in C++ or if you have any tutorials about that, or just if there is a way to write all this in VBA and then execute all the marcos from C++.
I'm using visual studio (no idea if this helps).

Thanks guys for your help.

I'd suggest you post in a C++ forum as that isn't really an Excel question per se.

In fact i'm asking this here to know if you guys with all your experience in Excel if you have ever used the C++ language to manipulate Excel, and if yes, what did you use as tutorials, or methods to learn...

I understand that, I'm just telling you that you are far more likely to get an answer in a C++ or Visual Studio forum. I probably know about 3 Excel people who ever use C++ (and that's generally to build XLLs rather than manipulating Excel directly).
You may get lucky though.
