Office 2000 Add-in CommandBarButton event problem ( C# )

[John Hamilton]

Applies to Excel, Word, and PPT

Simple scenario: When no document is open, I disable my CommandBarButtons in
my CommandBarPopup's Controls collection.

foreach( CommandBarButton btn in mMenu.Controls ){ btn.Enabled = false; }

When I create a new document or open an existing document, I want to renable
my CommandBarButtons. I do so by getting the reference to each button and
setting Enabled = true;

btnLinkPic = (CommandBarButton)mMenu.Controls[ LINK_PICTURE_BUTTON ];
btnLinkPic.Enabled = true;

The Click event for each button is wired upon the add-in connect, and never
twice.

The problem: After closing a document, and opening/creating a document, the
Click event of the button fires twice.

Any suggestions?

John,

Make sure that all commandbuttons have unique .Tag properties. It doesn't
make sense to me either, but that can cause this problem

Good gravy!

That did the trick... what a peculiar behavior. What's up, MS? I swear, if I
ever have to write another add-in in .NET, I'm gonna scream.

Thanks soooooo much Keith.
