Outlook 2007 spell check and .NET code rob_tt08 11/10/2008 3:42:00 AM Our company has been working on an Outlook AddIn using VSTO which has a number of issues which we have not been able to resolve yet. We would appreciate any insight or assistance you can offer. Our AddIn uses CommandBarButton.Execute() to trigger a spell check before continuing to run its own code which eventually pops up a .NET form. In the Outlook 2003 version, this works fine. In the Outlook 2007 version of the AddIn, the code does not wait for the spellcheck to be completed before continuing to run, which results in our .NET form appearing over the top of the spellcheck window instead of appearing after it closes. How can we get the form to only popup once the spell check has been finished/closed? Thank you for your advice.

Re: Outlook 2007 spell check and .NET code rob_tt08 11/14/2008 5:16:00 AM I was able to work around this issue by using the CheckSpelling method on the WordEditor object instead of using CommandBarButton.Execute in the Outlook 2007 version of the AddIn.

Re: Outlook 2007 spell check and .NET code "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 11/14/2008 2:10:04 PM Is the Word CheckSpelling method a blocking synchronous method? I thought it was asynchronous. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
