Outlook Explorer Disappearing!
Outlook Explorer Disappearing!

I have just upgraded to version 8 from version 7 and from Outlook 2007 to 2016, and am having some teething problems!

My AddIn loads but as soon as I click on a folder, the main explorer window disappears. I have traced through the code and it disappears (not surprisingly) at

HideAllFormsInAllAddins(GetSuperGridLayoutWindowHandle(ExplorerArgs));

in the TadxOlFormsManager.DoOLExplorerBeforeFolderSwitch procedure.

However, it never appears again, so I have to restart Outlook.

Is this a bug? If not, can you shed any light on what is going wrong?

Thanks,


Andrew

Interestingly, I have just found that this behaviour is not completely repeatable. It always occurs in the IDE, but not always when I open Outlook normally.

Hello Andrew,

We are unable to reproduce the issue. Neither from the IDE nor by loading the add-in in the normal way.

That method isn't the direct cause of the problem as is called whenever you switch to a folder: Add-in Express hides all the Explorer forms and then show the forms that match the context.

Try to reproduce the issue using a new empty add-in showing a pane in the same region.
