Hi,

I have some problems using Addin Express for Outlook (using adxvcl-v600-b0753-std).

When the addin is starting up these events are always triggered fine:

- AddInModuleCreate
- AddInInitialize
- AddInStartupComplete


When Outlook is terminated by user e.g. by closing with [X] button these events are always triggered fine:

- AddInBeginShutdown
- AddInFinalize
- AddInModuleDestroy

When Windows session is terminated (WM_QUERYENDSESSION; WM_ENDSESSION) with running Outlook the events

- AddInBeginShutdown
- AddInFinalize
- AddInModuleDestroy

are NEVER triggered. So Outlook hangs because I have to do some deinitializations.


Has anybody any suggestion?


Thanks

Karl

Hi Karl,

In the OnExplorerClose and OnInspectorClose events of the add-in module, try checking if Inspectors.Count and Explorers.Count return zero; if this is the case, you can do the deinitializations you mentioned.

Hi Andrei,

I have the same problem: If the user shuts down windows, Outlook is NOT CLOSED because of my addin! any ideas how to investigate this issue?

Martin,

You can comment out blocks of code. The most typical cause of such issue is a non-released COM object; read more on this at http://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2008/10/30/releasing-office-objects-net/.
