run add-in from vb.net

Hello together,

 

how could I run an add-in from an external application (VB.NET)? How could I get the id of the installed apps?

 

How to simulate a PerformClick on a button of an add-in or run the main-form?

 

Thank you

 

Georg

Hi Georg,

This is possible only if the addin expose a COM callable interface.

So if it doesn't and you don't have the source code, then I'm affraid you will have to rewrite it yourself.

Here are couple of links you may find helpful:
