Deleting a Word CommandBar

[Michael Tissington]

I have an add-in C++ which adds an item to the Word menu.

In the OnBeginShutDown event I delete the item that I added, in fact I see
it disappear when I run under debug.

However when I start Word back up it is still there.

How do I permanently delete the item that I added ?

Thanks.

Hi Michael

Have you tried setting the 'Temporary' parameter to VARIANT_TRUE when
you call _CommandBars Add method?

I find that this removes the need to call Delete on disconnection or
shutdown.

When manipulating CommandBars and anything on them in Word you MUST
explicitly set the Application.CustomizationContext in every "scope".
Otherwise, you've added things to one "container" (usually the Normal.dot
template) and then end up removing them from a different one (usually the
ActiveDocument or its AttachedTemplate).
