COMAddIn Object (Office)
Represents a COM add-in in the Microsoft Office host application. The COMAddIn object is a member of the COMAddIns collection.
Example
Use COMAddIns.Item(index), where index is either an ordinal value that returns the COM add-in at that position in the COMAddIns collection, or a String value that represents the ProgID of the specified COM add-in. The following example displays a COM add-in’s description text in a message box.
MsgBox Application.COMAddIns.Item("msodraa9.ShapeSelect").Description
Use the ProgID property of the COMAddin object to return the programmatic identifier for a COM add-in, and use the Guid property to return the globally unique identifier (GUID) for the add-in. The following example displays the ProgID and GUID for COM add-in one in a message box.
MsgBox "My ProgID is " & _
Application.COMAddIns(1).ProgID & _
" and my GUID is " & _
Application.COMAddIns(1).Guid
Use the Connect property to set or return the state of the connection to a specified COM add-in. The following example displays a message box that indicates whether COM add-in one is registered and currently connected.
If Application.COMAddIns(1).Connect Then
MsgBox "The add-in is connected."
Else
MsgBox "The add-in is not connected."
End If
