*******What's in next months issue?*******

The October 2001 issue will be all about creating and using Multimedia in FrontPage-based Web sites. 

<<<*******>>>

NOTE: I receive my MS FP Bulletin one month late, now I have found the http://microsoftfrontpage.com/ site, I will be able to post the bulletins sooner. However please note the bulletins one receives via subscription at MS are not the same format as the site bulletins and that the msfp site also contains other information. There is one other important point to note and that is the archives at microsoftfrontpage.com do not as far as back as these, so if you want to look back this is the place to do it! You can also obtain the bulletins as FREE E-books with your membership of AnyFrontPage Bytes.


This months issue September 2001

Welcome to the All About Add-ins edition of the Microsoft® FrontPage® Bulletin. The Multimedia issue has been moved to October so we can feature the launch of the new FrontPage Add-in Center. Be sure to visit us on the Web at:

DEVELOP YOUR OWN ADD-IN FOR THE FRONTPAGE ADD-IN CENTER
The new Software Development Kit (SDK) for Microsoft® FrontPage® 2002 is now available for download. This SDK contains not only basic help to get you started developing solutions to use with FrontPage, but also many articles and samples you can use to create your own custom solutions.

BUILD A COM ADD-IN IN VISUAL BASIC
This article demonstrates how to build a Component Object Model (COM) Add-In using Visual Basic®. Microsoft Office 2000 and later versions support a new, uniform design architecture for building application add-ins to enhance and control Office applications, such as FrontPage. These add-ins are called COM Add-Ins.

SAMPLE COM ADD-IN WRITTEN IN VISUAL C++
Comaddin.exe is a self-extracting executable that demonstrates building an Office 2000 or Office XP Component Object Model (COM) add-in using Visual C++®. This sample demonstrates the necessary steps to build a COM add-in in Visual C++. The sample creates a basic add-in shell that you can extend to build your own Office or FrontPage add-in.

TIPS AND TRICKS

FRONTPAGE SERVER EXTENSION SUPPORT BY VERSION
Your FrontPage 2002-based Web site will have the best Microsoft FrontPage functionality when it is published to a Web server that has installed the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions or SharePoint™ Team Services. Without the latest server extensions, certain new FrontPage-based Web features will not work. This is also true for FrontPage versions 2000 and 98.

Below are lists of features and components requiring the new server extensions as well as those requiring specific, earlier versions.

The following new features require the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions:

  • File Upload

  • Custom Link Bars

  • Shared border background properties

  • Usage Analysis Reports

  • Top Ten List Web Component

  • New Security Features (user Roles)

In addition, the following features also require a Web enabled with SharePoint Team Services:

  • Document Library

  • List

  • Survey

  • Discussion Board

Further, without FrontPage Server Extensions, certain other FrontPage-based Web features will not work, such as most form handlers, search forms, site maps organized by category, and hit counters.

The following components require at least FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions:

  • Database Results Wizard

  • Send To Database Form Handler

  • Nested sub webs

  • Lightweight Source Control (document check-in/check-out without VSS)

  • Categories Component

  • StyleSheet links to multiple files or ASP files

  • Database Interface Wizard

In addition, the following components require at least an earlier version of the FrontPage Server Extensions:

  • Confirmation Field

  • Discussion Form Handler

  • FrontPage-created server-side image maps

  • Hit Counter

  • Registration Form Handler

  • Save Results Form Handler

  • Search Form

  • Field Set

Tip: To find out what version FrontPage Server Extensions your Web server is running, contact your server administrator or ISP.

QUICK TIPS

New in Microsoft FrontPage® version 2002, ASP Source Code Preservation allows users to edit content in pages containing ASP code without disturbing the ASP code itself. You can always open ASP pages in Normal View, regardless of whether the ASP code violates convention (such as multiple <head>, or <body> tags).
