button not firing when word is set as MailEditor.

[Joe]

Hi all

this is a much discussed problem, i m trying to use an outlook addin
which creates a button to the newInspector on clik of which some form
is opend.

it works fine for me when use all the other editors.. except word.

i ve seen Ken's post n other which suggest me to use Word Object
model. but i dont get how exactly should i do it.

here is my code in newInspector event :

Office.CommandBars oCommandBars;
Office.CommandBar oStandardBar;
myInspector = inspector;
oCommandBars = inspector.CommandBars;
oStandardBar = oCommandBars["Standard"];

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document ObjEditor;
try
{

if (inspector.IsWordMail() == false)
{
// code for other editors..
}
else
{
Redemption.SafeInspector safeInspector =
( Redemption.SafeInspector )
appObject.CreateObject( "Redemption.SafeInspector" );
safeInspector = ( Redemption.SafeInspector )
inspector;

ObjEditor =
(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document)safeInspector.WordEditor;
object omissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
oStandardBar = ObjEditor.CommandBars["Standard"];
try
{
inspectorButton =
(Office.CommandBarButton)oStandardBar.Controls["Insert Invite"];
}
catch (Exception)
{

//inspectorButton =
(Office.CommandBarButton)oStandardBar.Controls["Insert Invite"];
inspectorButton =
(Office.CommandBarButton)oStandardBar.Controls.Add(1, omissing,
omissing, omissing, true);
inspectorButton.Caption = "Insert Link";
inspectorButton.Style =
Office.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption;
inspectorButton.OnAction = "!
<InsertLink.Connect>";
inspectorButton.Click += new
Microsoft.Office.Core._CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(this.inspectorButton_Click);
}
}
}
catch (Exception)
{

}

oCommandBars = null;
oStandardBar = null;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
but the Click event doesnt fire.. i ve seen some posts asking to use
Redemption. So i ve tried using that..

Please do give your opinions..

This is very critical to me as Outlook sets word as editor by
default.

thanks in advance.

First of all, never use NewInspector to add UI. Use the first Activate
event. I just add my UI to Inspector.CommandBars, I never directly add to
the Word object. Where I do use the Word object is in Window_Activate to see
if it's an email window or a doc and to handle enabling/disabling my UI
appropriately.
