Creating a C/C++ Add-In which works with OneNote!

  • Artigo

I thought I would take some time today and write up how to program a C/C++ add-in that works with OneNote 2007. Here are the directions I had and downloads below.

  1. Open Visual Studio and create a new C++ project.

  2. For my example I am creating a Win32 Console App:

  3. Now I want to add the OneNote2007 header file, OneNote12.h. You can find that attached with this document. Make sure to copy it to the folder with your C++ source files as well as add it to your header files like this:

  4. Add a new #include for OneNote:

    #include
    "OneNote12.h"

  5. Now just connect to OneNote like you would any other COM API. Please see here for an example:

        CoInitialize(NULL);

        IApplication* piOneNote;

     

        CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(Application), NULL,

            CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, __uuidof(IApplication), (void**)&piOneNote);

     

        if(piOneNote)

        {

            BSTR temp;        

            HRESULT hr = piOneNote->GetHierarchy(NULL, hsNotebooks, &temp);

            wprintf(L"%s", temp);

        }

A huge thanks to Ilya Koulchin for his help with this, I couldn't have done this without you!

This should be all that you need to get this working, but if you need anything please let us know!

    Do you know if something similar can be done with a program written in VB.NET?  I imagine it would work the same way.  I have a VB.NET program that I would like to do this with in addition to C++ addins.

    After some lengthy discussions with the seller and his broker, I discovered that the seller had a first mortgage with a balance of about $125,000

    The term of 'Add in' doesn't define a 'plug in',isn't it?

    Hi Daniel, I'm wondering if the C++ approach to add-ins would make sense for this: I want/need to add a function for napkin math.  It has a nice set of functions already, but I want to be able to type in quad(1,-1,-1) and have it return the quadratic roots of the function x^2-x-1.  What do you think?  Could you point me in the right direction to getting this question answered? Thanks!

    When I get navigation events from OneNote add-in, I get only a string ObjectId as a parameter. I want to take this event and re-create it later with NavigateTo. According to MSDN, NavigateTo takes one parameter, ObjectId. This should be ok, however the .h file you supply here says that NavigateTo takes 2 parameters, HierarchyId and ObjectId. This is inconsistent. Is there perhaps a newer .h file? I can't find it anywhere. Why isn't it posted online? We should be able to download the official .h file from somewhere other than your blog.
