Hi,
My Word add-in is used with load on demand.
This means my users have a word .dot file with a button to load and unload the add-in.
The following problem is presented:
* if the user loads the add-in and closes Word the menu-items and commandbars of the add-in are still there. (idle of course it's not loaded anymore)
* if the user uses the button to unload the add-in (by setting connect property to false) then all menu customizations are unloaded properly.
What would be the best way to correctly unload my Word add-in in a manner that behaves the same way as closing it by button?
I'm thinking of using some unloading command that would mimmic setting the connect property to false in the following Word Event:
adxWordEvents_Quit
However I have no idea which code I should put in there.
Any advice would be much appreciated.Regards,

Hi Joost.
1. You can use temporary command bars or just remove controls in the AddinBeginShutdown event handler when Word is shutting down. Also you can use the Word Document Module wizard to add a document-specific module to the add-in (see the WordFax example from the Add-in Express installation package).
2. I this case Add-in Express removes all controls in the AddinFinalize event handler.
The following example removes controls from Outlook. But you can implement the same technique for Word too.

Hi Sergey,
Thank you for your answer. However I wasn't to clear.
Our code allready uses temporary controls and that works fine.
So to be more clear. If we unload the addin by a click of a button. (application.comaddins(progid).connect=false) then all menu's and buttons are automaticaly removed.
But if the add-in is running and the user exits the application. (with the query close button) then some of the controls remain. (the menu buttons and they are set to temporary in the interface)
So basicly if you use the button to unload the app all is fine but if you just exit the app then the menu buttons remain.
So it seams to me the add-in isn't unloaded properly in that manner. (Closing the app) Must be a disposing issue.
FYI we're using Load on Demand.
Youre thoughs? Regards,

Joost, sometimes Word stores custom command bars in the Normal.dot template regardless whether they are temporary or not. Please try to use our Word Document module. The module automatically disables its command bars when an appropriate document is unloaded. |
