Hi,
Microsoft today upgraded my Windows 10 Professional to latest Version 1809.
Straight after when using Word, my Add-in Task Pane caused a problem and it was disabled by Word. I use Office 365 Home.
I downloaded and installed the latest Add-in Express for VCL.
Now Delphi XE10 Seattle can build my program OK, but when I try to register the Active-X server, Delphi gives me an hourglass and then crashes out.
Help, please. Am I missing something? I am building a feature-rich desktop application and have been including a Word plug-in to enable integration during document editing.
Many thanks.
Regards
Tim Hayes |

Hello Tim,
Try to register it using regsvr32. Also, check if this is reproducible on a new empty Word add-in project.

Hi Andrei,
I have re-installed the demo project and still have an issue registering.
I have run Delphi 10.0 Seattle as Administrator. I am using Office 365 Home (is this restricted somehow?)
I open MyFirstAddin.dll project, and compile / build OK.
I then execute RUN/ActiveX Server/Register and I am given the message "Failed to register ActiveX Server "... MyFirstAddin.dll".
I then open Task Manager and execute FILE/Run new task/regsvr32.exe "path to dll" and check administrator privileges, and I get a successful install. This works in Excel, but when I re-compile with ohaWord checked in the AddInModule, module is still not registered in Word.
Your assistance would be most appreciated.
Kind regards

Hello Tim,
Delphi contains an error that occurs when you register a 64 bit ActiveX. It may be causing the Delphi crash.
If you register an add-in for Excel, then change the project to support Word and rebuild, this doesn't change the registration: you need to re-register again.
As to your add-in, on File | Options | Add-ins, choose Manage: Disabled Items and click Go. If your add-in is listed, re-enable it.

Hi Andrei,
Thanks for responding.
I did some further research last evening and it appears that MS Word (such as I have in Office 365) is changed to replace COM add-ins in favour of what appears to be a javascript/html approach. See:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/overview/office-add-ins
My test simply does not get registered in Word even though I re-registered both with and without ohaWord.
The application I am building needs close integration with word processing and with regret I am looking to use the DevExpress RichText component which looks good.
Many thanks for your kind assistance.
Best regards

Hello Tim,

This is not so! It is changed to *support* JS-based addins! COM Add-ins are still available on the desktop versions of Word.
If you register the add-in and you get "succeeded", then the add-in is okay; otherwise you need to debug the code registering your add-in. If the add-in is registered but Word doesn't load it, your add-in is either unchecked in the COM add-ins dialog or it is disabled. Did you try to re-enable the add-in as mentioned above?

Hi Andrei,
With apologies, the add-in is now showing in Word, after restarting Delphi. Registration within Delphi is also working provided I have Administrator privileges.
Kind regards
