Outlook extensions freeze in Outbox folder (for some)

Hi,

For 10% of my users of my Outlook Add-in (ADX 2.7, Outlook Extensions 3.1) seem to 'freeze' with very high Outlook.exe CPU when first starting up Outlook.

I have traced this to the block of code that does the adxOlFormsManager.LockUpdates, and then adding of the Olformsmanager with 5 FormsCollection items.

I am trying to track down a common thing in their environments. Some of them certainly have both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 installed. My logfiles show the addin being started up in .NET 2.0 for some of them, when it was compiled under 1.1 (and with ADXOlFormsContainer.2003.msm as part of the install). Could this cause this locking?

Anyone else ever seen this?

Hi Sergey,

The run-time is easy to download and try, just take a demo install from here: http://www.taglocity.com/download.htm - if you see the 'white-out' in outlook 'outbox' folder when showing the docked forms then you'll be able to recreate it.

As this is a commercial product I need to strip down a src tree build so that you can still take a look but the problem still occurs - as I said above, I haven't had any luck recreating it in my test environments myself - but I have had at least 3 customers say they've seen 3 minute plus freezes on their Outbox folder with docked forms.

I'll send a link to your email to a src package download, is that ok?
