OpenXML SDK Inject VBA into excel workbook

Question

I can successfully inject a piece of VBA code into a generated excel workbook, but what I am trying to do is use the Workbook_Open() event so the VBA code executes when the file

Answer 1

You need to specify "codeName" attribute in the "xl/workbook..xml" object After feeding the VbaProjectPart with macro. Add this code:

var workbookPr = spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.Workbook.Descendants().FirstOrDefault();
workbookPr.CodeName = "ThisWorkBook";

After opening the file everything should work now.

So, to add macro you need to:

1. Change document type to macro enabled

2. Add VbaProjectPart and feed it with earlier created macro

3. Add workbookPr codeName attr in xl/workbook..xml with value "ThisWorkBook"

4. Save as with .xlsm ext.
