Display Custom Dockable window in Microsoft Excel

[venkat]

Can we create our own Dockable windows (having our own controls) in excel
(Windows 2003) like Getting started, The dockable window that appears when
we click on File -> New.



Please tell me the whether it is possible or not. If so what are the classes
that I need to use and what are the problems that may face if I use the same
code on old versions of excel.



Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is possible with the Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office. What you
are searching for is called ActionPane.
