Putting a custom GUI on top

Asked By Ferrari Donald 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/02/2013

I am using MS Office 2007. I want to know if there is any freeware GUI Excel? Is it possible to put a custom GUI on top and spreadsheet residing at back end?

Your key has been Blocklisted

Update option is not available, which puts your computer at risk of infection.

If you purchased a legal copy of the program, contact our Technical Support Service or the Retailer.

It you are using an unlicensed copy of the program then please purchase here.

If you have purchased a key, please activate the application.

Putting a custom GUI on top

 

Hi there,

 

There are several things you can do, but I'm afraid none will be the perfect fit.

 

I'd go with the Clear Office. Using the Clear Office you can easily host workbooks in your GUI and vice versa. This would be something like an "elegant" solution.

 

You can also try with Excel Interop. It won't look too good, and may be slow, but will work.

 

There are also some commercial solutions that would probably be the best solution you can find, like Professional Excel Development by Bovey.
