Word.Application.Activate() fails

Sorry, that I have to come back to this topic. I am sure this is not an issue of Add-In-Express. But here are the experts.

I am still having problems when opening word, create a new document and then activate word before fill it out.

Here is my code. 

wa.DocumentOpen += new Word.ApplicationEvents2_DocumentOpenEventHandler(wa_NewDocument);
				
wd = wa.Documents.Add(ref template, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
appstarted = false;

while (!appStarted)
    System.Threading.Thread.Sl eep(10);

wa.DocumentOpen -= new Word.ApplicationEvents2_DocumentOpenEventHandler(wa_NewDocument);

wa.Visible = true;
wa.Activate();


In DocumentOpen event the value of appStarted is set to true. I tried also the NewDocument event to wait for. But no result.

Kind regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

What Office version do you use? Please note that the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee691834.aspx method was introduced with Office 2010.

I use Office 2010. But I used the Activate Method before. The application was written using Office 2007 and the problems only exist in combination with Office 2010.

Your link leads me to ribbon stuff. But I want to activate the application itself.

Kind regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Sorry for misleading you. I thought you meant the Activate method of the Ribbon tab.

First of all, please try installing a fresh build of http://www.add-in-express.com/downloads/adxnet.php. Are you able to reproduce the issue with a newly created add-in project? If so, could you please send it to the support e-mail address (see readme.txt)?

Eugene, sorry for the delay. I am just delivering an application. I will install the updated build after that. The client is using office 2007 and here it works.

I'll come back later to this.

Kind regards
Patrick
