COM Add-in

[Brian]

I'm wanting to call function (or make it run) within my COM Add-in. I can see where I can do this in a cell formula by firing a marker event with either QueueMarkerEvent or RunAddonWArgs but is there a way to do this from automation? My app wraps around the drawing control and my Add-in succesfully loads. I want a button click to call a function within the add-in to turn on and off a custom window

Thanks
Brian

Same function as the ShapeSheet in this case. You just use automation to
throw an event:

visio.Application.QueueMarkerEvent("Brian Wuz Here")

The ContextString in your _MarkerEvent proc will come strolling along with
"Brian Wuz Here" shortly thereafter.

Excellent! Thank you very much, works like a charm

Is this the most efficient way to do this? It seems that my code is getting hammered with event calls. I am filtering them out but it seems my app has slowed down. Or, is there a way to filter this on the calling side so that my Add-in doesn't have to get all of this extra noise

Much Thanks
Brian

<Good call> Nice pun

Thanks again for your help. The filter does the trick
