[comp.sys.mac.misc] Calling code resources from Excel.

eaiu088@orion.oac.UCI.EDU (Alisa Tannira) (12/07/90)

Has anybody had any success calling code resources from Excel?
Excel supposedly has a routine called REGISTER(lib,proc,arg).
The manual is not specific, but I think "lib" is supposed to be a
code resource containing the procedure you wish to call.
Does ThinkC produce a code resource that can be read by Excel?

Or conversely, is Excel smart enough to read ThinkC's code resources. :)

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Call Microsoft Tech Support and ask them about this. They should send
you some additional documentation on the details of doing this, there's
no way you can figure it out from the regular manual. I got the documentation
for this from them about a year ago, it didn't seem too hard to do, though
I haven't had time to try it out.
