Thread in addin for MS Word

[Tomaz]

Hi
I'm trying to add a toolbar menu which would send text
into document. Addin COM is implemented in Visual C++.
When a button event calls method TypeText everything
works fine. But if button event triggers an event which
starts thread with TypeText method I get "Unhandled
Exception" error.

I would appreciate any links to similar problems, too.

Thanks in advance
Tom

Word's API is single-threaded. You may be violating COM marshaling rules
with the extra thread. (If you have to make calls into Word's API from
another thread, you can't just use the same Word API reference
variables--you have to marshal them first.)
