[GuidAttribute("000208D5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046")]
public interface Application : _Application, 
	AppEvents_Event

The Application object contains:

  • Application-wide settings and options (for example, many of the options in the Options dialog box - accessed through the Tools menu).

  • Properties that return top-level objects, such as ActiveCell, ActiveSheet, and so on.

Use the Application property to return the Application object.
