Hello,

I have some problems implementing the messaging between instances of the toolbar. What is exactly needed?

In my Toolbar i do: 
this.SendMessageToAll(MY_MESSAGE, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);


And in my module i have added the following: 

this.OnSendMessage += new AddinExpress.IE.ADXIESendMessage_EventHandler(this.MessageSend);
and 
        private void MessageSend(ADXIESendMessageEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("received");
        }


But the event never got called and the message box is not shown. Need your advice/help please!

Thanks,
Harald

Hello,

oh the MessageSend is only available in the toolbar, why not in the module too? That was my mistake.

Thanks,
Harald

Hello again,

after further investigations, I have to say, that the sendMessageToAll is only working in the Toolbar and not in the module. Is that correct?

Hello Harald,

This is correct. Calling ADXIEToolbar.SendMessageToAll will deliver the message to ADXIEToolbar instances. Calling ADXIEModule.SendMessageToAll will deliver the message to ADXIEModule instances.
