msoControlActiveX Add-In madew with CSharp not showing at load?

[John]

I made a Word-Addin which adds a UserControl to a commandBar.
That part works only it doesn't show the control when it load the
commandbar,but as soon as I use VBA in a Word macro and add a Form with that
same control it
shows the button in the commandbar in Word.

How come? DidI forget some initialize command in the add-In?
I'm using Office XP and Visual Studio .Net 2003.

Any help is welcome.

Regards,
John

I tried with multiple combination and this is I guess the simplest one:
I made a CSharp DLL with a UserControl and enabled the COM Interop.

And after looking up the CLSID I used the following macro in word:
Sub test()
Set ctrl = Application.CommandBars("test").Controls.Add(msoControlActiveX)
ctrl.ControlCLSID = "{828FF120-190F-3F8B-A307-3FAACF785479}"
End Sub

That's it.
