Word Addin

[Praful]

Hello All,

I am making a Word Add-in in VB.NET. I am willing to have my own Menu Item
in the Menu Bar like File, Edit, Etc and under my Menu item i will be having
some more items as File->New, Edit->Copy, etc.
Now i am getting 2 problems:
1/ When I run the program for 1 document things are fine but when i open
more than 1 document simultaneously than I did not get that menu working
(menu is shown but its not functioning) in other documents than the 1st
document. I have solved this problem by creating the menu item at
AppObj_WindowActivate function but this function is called whenever the
document is activated even i minimize or maximize the document.

2/ When I uninstall the package that I install then the Menu Item is not
removed. Its functionality are removed but with that the menu item should
also be deleted which is not deleted. So i have to manually remove it so that
it is not visible later on.

Please help me with these 2 problems as I am in great trouble.

Hello,

This newsgroup is about vba, not VB.NET.

I would guess that your customization context when you install your menus is
normal.dot (the default). This is bad practice. This is virus-like behavior.
I would guess that you are installing the actions for the menu in the
customization context of your first document. Thus your functionality is
stored in your first document but your menus are installed in the
application.

If you can, create a custom document template for your documents, with your
menus and functions. Then have your users create documents based on your
template. Those documents will have your menus and functions.
