Hi,
we have a little problem with one of our regions (a Compose-Inspector TopSubPane).
On some computers it disappears after some hours work and will not be loaded again, until restarting outlook.
Also strage: It disappears only for the "first" inspector, when this first inspector is opened, and a second one is opened, the second shows the region. closing both and opening 2+ inspectors again, the first doesn't show it again.
The bug seems not to be reproducable in a normal way, and we also discovered our source-code a lot of times. We cannot find the issue, so we think, that this is maybe a bug of ADX.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Daniel |

Hello Daniel,
This may be a bug in the code of Add-in Express. To find this out, we will try to reproduce this issue. Please provide more information:
- Outlook version, service pack and bitness
- AddinExpress.Outlook.Regions.dll version
- how do you open inspectors?
- are other COM add-ins turned off?
- do you modify these properties and/or call these methods in your code:
1) ADXOlFormsCollectionItem.Enabled
2) ADXOlForm.Visible, ADXOlForm.Show(), ADXOlForm.Hide()
- do you cancel the ADXOlFormsCollectionItem.ADXBeforeFormInstanceCreate event in your code?

- Outlook version, service pack and bitness
Versions are 14.0.6132.5001 and 14.0.6025.1000 (First release, and SP1 i think), bitness is mixed
- AddinExpress.Outlook.Regions.dll version
1.2.1250.2010 - we will try it also with 2.0 in a few days
- how do you open inspectors?
by user-input (new e-mail, reply, forward...)
- are other COM add-ins turned off?
no other com-addins are active. We tried it with an auto-it script in a clean enviroment
- do you modify these properties and/or call these methods in your code:
1) ADXOlFormsCollectionItem.Enabled
no (no reading access, no writing access)
2) ADXOlForm.Visible, ADXOlForm.Show(), ADXOlForm.Hide()
Visible: read, Show() / Hide(): yes, but the method, which calls Show() and Hide(), is not entered, when the bug appears (we looked at the log files, where each call of this method is logged)
- do you cancel the ADXOlFormsCollectionItem.ADXBeforeFormInstanceCre ate event in your code?
no, we just log the call
Additional info: BeforeFormInstanceCre ate event is not called after the issue appears (until outlook restart). |

Daniel,
We cannot reproduce this issue with a sample form. Can you please send me the following code fragments from that form:
- all class-level declarations
- the InitializeComponent() method
Please send them to the support email address; you can find it in readme.txt.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for sending me the code. I've been unable to reproduce the issue with your code as well. Nevertheless, I suppose the issue can relate to unreleased COM objects in your code.
MailItem currentItem = (InspectorObj as Inspector).CurrentItem as MailItem;
If you form is created for mail items only, the code line above is safe. If however, your form is also shown e.g. for an appointment, the COM object created by Inspector.CurrentItem is left unreleased.
m_MailWrapper.MailItem = currentItem;
Please make sure that MailWrapper releases the COM object e.g. in its Dispose() method. I cannot see other code but I strongly suggest that you pay special attention to releasing COM objects as this is the usual cause of many, many problems in Outlook add-ins.
Also, I'd suggest that you call the Inint method in the ADXBeforeFormShow event; it occurs just before the form is shown. Using the timer isn't required in this case.

Thanks for the hint with ADXBeforeFormShow :)
We try to find unreleased com objects now. |

We have released nearly all com objects now - results will follow after a while (the bug was rare, so we want to wait, before we define it as fixed)
Many Thanks for the good help :)
