I have added an adxOlExplorerCommandBar with a ADXCommandBarPopup on it.
Depending on the users actions, I wan't to change the content (the ADXCommandBarButton items) of the ADXCommandBarPopup. In order to do that I first clear it and then build up the items again. The problem is that when I call Clear() on the Controls collection of the ADXCommandBarPopup, Outlook hangs, using 100% CPU.
Another problem I have is that controls added run-time doesn't appear if the menu is visible. The code that adds new ADXCommandBarButton items, add the same items to both an adxOlExplorerCommandBar menu and an adxOlInspectorCommandBar menu. If I run the code with the adxOlExplorerCommandBar open, it doesn't change. If I then (after the code that changes the menubar has run) open an inspector, the adxOlInspectorCommandBar is correctly changed. So it appears that changes to a menubar iden't reflected on currently visible menubars. Is that by design? And what can I do to achieve what I want: To change the menubars runtime.

Hi, I've downloaded your sample code and have updated my project accordingly. However, I'm now getting a build error which I can't figure out:
The type 'Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBars' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'office, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'.
It's on the following code:
this.CommandBarsObj = inspector.CommandBars;
It's in the DoClear method that I've copied directly from the sample project.
The demo (dynamiccontrolsexample-vs2005) builds just fine. I have the same references as the demo, so I'm puzzled why I'm getting this error. I have the same references to Office, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll and Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.dll from the OfficePIAs folder in the project. I have no other references to Office libraries.
Do you have any idea why this happens? |

Okay I have discovered the problem:
My version of add-in express comes with an Office.dll PIA dated 15th december 2006 (the date I started the project) and a size of 212 KB.
The version of the office.dll PIA that came with your sample is dated 15th january 2005 and has a size of 219 KB.
So it appears that I have an old version of the Office PIA, which doesn't contain the necessary declarations.
The Office PIA's - are they taken from my PC or do add-in express supply their own version? |

All PIAs are generated on your PC. The PIA from the example is a version independent PIA (Office 2000). To add PIAs for Office 2003 (v11.0.0.0) you can use the 'Add Reference' dialog of the add-in project. |
