I noticed the generated code by Add-in Express Regions slows the plugin load time,
it adds about ~200ms to the plugin init time and this is on my fast computer i believe in slow or old computer it will take more time.
Can i move the code to different thread or make it run after outlook loads?
i don't want the plugin to get disabled because of the load time

the code is: 

this.FormsManager = AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsManager.CurrentInstance;
this.FormsManager.OnInitialize += new AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsManager.OnComponentInitialize_EventHandler(this.FormsManager_OnInitialize);
this.FormsManager.Initialize(this);

Hello Sharon,

You cannot move this code to a thread. Try to start a System.Windows.Forms.Timer in the ThisAddIn_Startup() method and move that code in the timer's event.

Does this work?

Hi Andrei,

I tried this: 


private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   System.Windows.Forms.Timer timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
   timer.Interval = 2 * 1000;
   timer.Tick += Timer_Tick;
   timer.Start();
}

private void Timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   #region Add-in Express Regions generated code - do not modify
   this.FormsManager = AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsManager.CurrentInstance;
   this.FormsManager.OnInitialize += new AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsManager.OnComponentInitialize_EventHandler(this.FormsManager_OnInitialize);
   this.FormsManager.Initialize(this);
   #endregion
}

and i got exception on this.FormsManager.Initialize(this); that i tries to do it on garbage collected AddinExpress.Outlook.Regions item

Sharon,

You should declare the timer variable on the class level. Does this fix the issue?

You should also stop the timer.

no,
still the same exception:
Managed Debugging Assistant 'CallbackOnCollectedDelegate' has detected a problem in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\outlook.exe'.

Do you stop the timer in the tick event?

Sharon,

http://temp.add-in-express.com/support/OutlookAddIn5-ForSharonTourjeman.zip - this project doesn't generate an exception for me.

Outlook 2016 + Add-in Express Outlook Regions 3.3.2345.
