After you have installed XLL+, follow these instructions for the quickest possible introduction to using XLL+. You can find out more about any of the steps by clicking on the "More..." links.
- Start Microsoft DevStudio 6
- Use Tools - Customize - Add-ins & Macro files to register the add-in
XLL+ Function Wizard 4.2. (You only need to do this once.)
- Use the XLL+ AppWizard to create a new project.
Accept all the default choices in the Wizard's pages.
- Use the New XLL+ Function tool to create a new add-in function.
Fill in the function's name and description, and press OK.
- In the XLL+ Function Wizard, add the names types and
descriptions of your function's arguments, and press OK.
- In DevStudio, add your own code to the skeleton generated by the Wizard,
then build and test your project. For example,
you might add the line of code shown below:
extern "C" __declspec( dllexport ) LPXLOPER EDateDiff(double StartDate, double EndDate, const char* Country) { CXlOper xloResult; //}}XLP_SRC // TODO - Set the value of xloResult xloResult = 99.9; return xloResult.Ret(); }
