Hi there,
I am develping a huge VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office) doocument level excel workbook using VS 2010 in C sharp. I am able to generate the excel with necessary data. But basically now i want to integrate it with my windows application, also there is a situation where i need to call a small pop up window from the button placed on excelsheet. I would really appreciate if someone help me with followinf two questions.
1. How do i invoke my VSTO excel application with its full functionality and not just an excelbook from my parent windows form?
2. How do i invoke a windows form from click event of any xyz button placed on VSTO excel document application?

What do you mean by "calling windows"? What does it mean "call my VSTO document"? What is calling a document?
-- Hey, document!
-- Get out, I'm busy. :-)

And what is "call a window form". Moreover, what's "call from event"? Yes, I really don't know, I only can guess... What is "VSTO document in its full functionality and not just an excelbook"? What is incomplete in excel book.
