Unable to receive events from Office::msoControlButton

[KarthikonIT]

I'm (trying to) program an addin in VC++ (VS 2005) for Outlook 2003


How do I catch the event when the user clicks a button within the menu? Is
there a way to DispEventAdvise for the Office::CommandBarControls or the
Office::CommandBarPopup which "owns" the menu items?


My addin has a toolbar, which has a menu (Office::msoControlPopup).
I am able to listen to events when the user clicks on a button in my toolbar,
but not when we clicks on a menu item(Office::msoControlPopup) in the toolbar
what should i do to listen to that event when user clicks on a menu in my
toolbar.


Here is my sample code:
I have created a CEventWrapper class which implements IDispEventSimpleImpl
Interface.

CEventWrapper.h

//Implemented a class from IDispEventSimpleImpl

class CEventWrapper ublic IDispEventSimpleImpl<1,CEventWrapper ,&__uuidof(
Office::_CommandBarButtonEvents)>
{

public:
CEventWrapper (void);
CEventWrapper ( Outlook::_ExplorerPtr spExplrPtr, Office::
_CommandBarButtonPtr spCmdBrBtnPtr);
CEventWrapper (void);


Office::_CommandBarButtonPtr m_spCmdBrBtnPtr;

}

typedef IDispEventSimpleImpl< CEventWrapper.h&__uuidof(Office::
_CommandBarButtonEvents)> CmdBarBtnEvnts;


//Implemented Sink map.
BEGIN_SINK_MAP CEventWrapper
SINK_ENTRY_INFO(1, __uuidof(Office::_CommandBarButtonEvents),0x1,
OnButtonClick , &OnButtonClickInfo)
END_SINK_MAP()

HRESULT __stdcall OnButtonClick(LPDISPATCH lpBtnDisp, VARIANT_BOOL
*vbCancelDefault)
{
//Event Handler

}




CEventWrapper.cpp

_ATL_FUNC_INFO OnButtonClickInfo ={CC_STDCALL,VT_EMPTY,2,{VT_DISPATCH,VT_BOOL}
};

CEventWrapper ( Outlook::_ExplorerPtr spExplrPtr, Office::
_CommandBarButtonPtr spCmdBrBtnPtr)
{
CmdBarBtnEvnts:ispEventAdvise((IDispatch*)m_spCmdBrBtnPtr); //Attaching
to the event source.
}


HRESULT __stdcall CButtonWrapper::OnButtonClick(LPDISPATCH lpBtnDisp,
VARIANT_BOOL *vbCancelDefault)
{
//B. Logic.
}


Adding "Office::msoControlPopup" to the toolbar.
{

//Added from a different class in "OnConnection"..

Office::CommandBarControlPtr spCmdBrCtrlPtr;
Office::CommandBarControlsPtr spCmdBrCtrlsPtr


spCmdBrCtrlPtr = spCmdBrCtrlsPtr->Add( vCtrlTyp, vMissng,vMissng,vMissng,
vIsTempry);


HRESULT hr = spCmdBrCtrlPtr->QueryInterface( __uuidof( Office::
CommandBarPopup),
(void**)&m_spCmdBrPopupPtr);

spCmdBrCtrlPtr = m_spCmdBrPopupPtr->Controls->Add(vCtrlTypBtn, vMissng,
vMissng, vMissng, vIsTempry);

CmdBarBtnEvnts:ispEventAdvise( (LPDISPATCH)m_spCmdBrBtnPtr );
}

Thanks in Advance.

There are no such events for popups or CommandBarControls. You have Click()
for buttons and Change() for combos, that's it.
