Word COM ADD In help needed "KeithM" <keith.mallett[ at ]nospam.baesystems.com> 10.07.2006 14:59:49 Hi all, I have a COM Add In written in .NET C# and running on XP with Office 2003. The add in stores some data for each document and displays this in a custom toolbar when documents are loaded. However when I launch word by clicking on a hyperlink, with a href to a document, in IE, my custom toolbar does not appear. I have to go into View\Toolbars and select it for it to become visible. This does not happen when just double clicking a file on the hard disk when using Windows Explorer. I have tried deleting Normal.dot between launchings of Word but this makes no difference. I should add that in the "OnStartupComplete" AddIn function I use code to physically make the toolbar visible but it still wont work from hyplerlinks. It is as though something else is happening after I have recieved the Word connection events that is overwriting my settings. If anyone can throw any light on what is happening or how I can get round this I would be very grateful as I have been 2 weeks looking for a fix so far. Yours hopefully!

You can also try searching here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=16&SiteID=1&PageID=0 I've seen it answered, but I can't remember the details of the answer. Basically, it's expected behavior when a Word doc loads into IE, but I can't remember why, or whether there's any way to get around the problem. Note: this group is aimed at end-users, not developers. If someone knows an answer, they'll tell you. But generally this level of question won't get a reply, here :-) [Quoted Text] > I have a COM Add In written in .NET C# and running on XP with Office 2003. > > The add in stores some data for each document and displays this in a custom > toolbar when documents are loaded. > However when I launch word by clicking on a hyperlink, with a href to a > document, in IE, my custom toolbar does not appear. > I have to go into View\Toolbars and select it for it to become visible. > This does not happen when just double clicking a file on the hard disk when > using Windows Explorer. > I have tried deleting Normal.dot between launchings of Word but this makes > no difference. > > I should add that in the "OnStartupComplete" AddIn function I use code to > physically make the toolbar visible but it still wont work from hyplerlinks. > It is as though something else is happening after I have recieved the Word > connection events that is overwriting my settings. > > If anyone can throw any light on what is happening or how I can get round > this I would be very grateful as I have been 2 weeks looking for a fix so > far. > Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-)

I have looked on the forum site as you suggested but my searches havent turned up anything. I've also posted the query on a more relevant group.
