Hi,

thx

this.Modules.Add(new ADXAddinAdditionalModuleItem(this.components) { ModuleProgID = Constants.ProgIdWord2007 });

Hannes,

In http://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-tips.php#modular-architecture, we use AddinInitialize. Try using it, too.

Hi Andrei,

when i use AddinInitialize then the Ribbons dont get loaded - thats why i used OnRibbonBeforeCreate. But i also tried AddinInitialize, didnt work either!

Hi Hannes,

Does adding an item to Text, Tables, System, etc work in a test add-in?

Hi Hannes,

Oh, I see. Try using two additional modules: a) with Ribbon controls - add it to the Modules collection in OnRibbonBeforeCreate; b) with command bar components - add it to the Modules collection in AddinInitialize.

Hi Andrei,

sorry for the last Post - you are right - when i add it in the AddinInitialize it looks better. Do you know why this is?

Currently i have seperated my Modules in Word2000-2003, and one Word2007 Module.

Word2000-2003 i add in the AddinInitialize
Word2007 i add in the OnRibbonBeforeCreate

so for Word2007 i would now need another Module. Now way around here?

thx
