Detecting calls from the Function Wizard.

[Keith A. Lewis]

Here is a simple solution:

// Detects if UDF is being called from the function wizard.
template<class X>
inline bool in_function_wizard(void)
{
        return !Excel<X>(xlfGetTool, XOPER<X>(4), XOPER<X>(_T("Standard")), XOPER<X>(1));
}

This uses the library from http://xll.codeplex.com, but you get the idea. No need to enumerate windows like in the Excel SDK example. Enjoy!

Thank you.  I think that when our code was first written that trick  
must not have been known.  How does it work?

Aucune idée monsieur. I never use it myself, but a lot of people have asked for this functionality.

My unpopular theory is that if you need to use it, then your function is too slow.
