Hello
I am new to this forum, so apologies if I haven't entered this correctly.
I have an add in for Word which loads 2 drop down lists to a toolbar. The first list is populated by:
Me.AdxCommandBarDropDownList1.Items.Add("Addresses")
Me.AdxCommandBarDropDownList1.Items.Add("Applicant")
Me.AdxCommandBarDropDownList1.Items.Add("Diary")
etc..
and the second list is populated by adding items from an array based on the choice of the first, for example..
CodesArr(2, 234) = "Forwarding Address Line 4"
CodesArr(2, 235) = "Forwarding Phone Number"
Me.AdxCommandBarDropDownList2.Items.Add(CodesArr(2, i))
My problem is that when you have more than one instance of Word open, the population of the second instances drop down lists do not function properly. It is almost list the lists have been given a different ID and my code no longer works. If I close the first instance of Word, then the second one works... I am using VS2005 Visual Basic..
Also when I open Word, the first list is already populated with the item last used, and not what I want it to be when Word is opened up each time..
One more thing.. can I stop my add in from showing in my Outlook mail window if word is my editor?
Sorry to group these together, and thanks for any help in advance.
Regards,
Derek.

Hi Sergey
I have tried the ListIndex = 0,1,2 etc for my drop down list, but it seems to ignore it, and show the item which was showing when word closed...
My listindex code is after I have populated the drop down list after the InitializeComponent() call..
Please note it is a dropdown list and not combobox..
Also, and chance of that word in Outlook code in VB??>
Regards, :D

Hi Derek.
Please try to set the ListIndex in the AddinStartupComplete event handler.

fab.... never saw that property... it works a treat...
I did look at a few of the Word Editor in Outlook links, but they only had C+ examples.. can you get me on in VB? and then I will stop asking silly questions..
Many thanks again..
Derek. |
