Hide / show toolbar

Hello,

I would like to hide / show my toolbar in certain conditions. It is strange that even I set the Visible property to false, my toolbar is always displayed.

I read that in the VCL version of ADX, they is an OnBeforeAdd event with a cancel argument that permit to cancel the display of a toolbar (http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=746). I did not find this event in my .NET version.

What is the solution? Do I need to create the toolbar programmatically in the AddinModule_AddinInitialize event?

Thank you.

Thomas, what Office application do you develop an add-in for?

Sorry,

I am developping an Outlook Add-in. But the hide or Show toolbar is depending if Word is the email editor.

Thanks.

Do you use the InspectorActivate event handler to show/hide the command bar?

No. Actually I just tried to show / hide setting the Visible property to true or false at design time, but it does not work; the toolbar is always visible.

I also tried to set the property in the adxOutlookEvents_NewInspector event, but it is the same problem.

It works to hide or show Specifics Item on the toolbar, but not the whole toolbar.

Thomas.

Thomas, the point is that ADX manages ADXOlExplorerCommandBar and ADXOlInspectorCommandBar components via the ItemTypes property. You need to use the InspectorActivate event handler to hide/show command bars manually in the code.
