Hallo,

We have created an add-in for office 2003, 2007, 2010 this works fine.
For one customer we have changed the for office 2002(XP). The add-in works fine.
So what?Â?Ð?és the problem? Well after installing the add-in the customer has a problem with the Word print button, it?Â?Ð?és not ?Â?Ð?ìworking?Â?Ð?í. Went the user press the buttons nothing happens.
In our add-in we do not catch the event for the Word print button.

In our test environment we do not have this problem.

How do i find out what the problem can be?

Regards Edwin

Update 2013-05-02:
with a normal hand installation there is no problem. But if we install with gpo, the Word print button is not working.

Hello Edwin,

I suppose your add-in intercepts the DocumentBeforePrint event and cancels it in some situations. Or, it cancels the ActionEx event of the ADXBuiltInControl component having ID set to the ID of that button.

I suppose your add-in doesn't work in this case or you install a wrong or non-working add-in version.

Please try turning off all other COM add-ins on the customer's PC.

Hi Andrei,

We do not overwrite any functions of Word, the users must be able to use Word as if our add-in is not installed.

Just now i found out that the problem is with all computers that are in a domain.
By default the printer button is not working any more, but is open a specific document the printer button works again. While opening this document we make some buttons visible, as far as i can see this is all we do, there are no other add-ins installed.
All other ways of print works (ctrl-p, preview, file>print, ...).

We have two tool bars only one creates the problem.

How to go from here?

I moved the dev machine into the domain, and started to put all code in comment that loads the tool bars. I checked to see if they where loaded, no not any more.
Then i start to remove the comments until the printer button did not work. The moment the toolbar is loaded the printer buttons stops working.
On that moment i realized that the toolbar is in a spared dot file. After rebuilding the dot file it looks like the printer button is working again.

Need to do some more test but it looks ok!
