I want to write a Add-In for the development enviroment: "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications" which I have to use.

I want to add some convenience functions.

Unfortunately I cant find anything about this because as soon as I search for "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications" or "Add-In" it tells me how to write Add-in with VBA. But I want to know how I write a Add-In in any language (if possible everything else but vba) for the development enviroment: "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications"

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not an environment, it´s a language, similar to C# Java or whatever. You can´t extend that, you can however extend an "Integrated Development Environemtn" (IDE), such as Visual Studio by creating an AddIn. Howto do this is well explained on msdn.microsoft.com/library/80493a3w(v=vs.120).aspx - HimBromBeere
Rubberduck has served me pretty well for my smaller VBA projects and extended the IDE to everything I needed. It's partly written in C# maybe studying it's source code will help you creating a Add-In? - Freggar
@HimBromBeere: The program we use for creating vba-programs for access is definitely called "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications". Its this one: google.com/… - Gener4tor
@ Freggar: Thank you. This might help - Gener4tor

After some searching I found the answer to my question.

Here: https://www.mztools.com/articles/2012/MZ2012013.aspx I found a good description for writing the AddIn in Visual Basic (It was no problem to translate it to C#)

Here: Build add-in for VBA IDE using VB.NET I found good tipps for troubleshooting.

btw. the development enviroment: "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications" is called "VBE"
