outlook today customization

[Baji]

Hi Ken & Everybody,

I have a query,

I am trying to show an OCX in outlook today page.

I have a problem here, when I am trying to close Outlook, it is not
exiting comletely.

I can see while debugging. Exit Instance of the OCX is called when
outlook is closed.

And, without the ocx (unregistered) outlook closes properly..

Do I need to take care of anything else? Please let me know.

Regards,
Baji.

You need to release your OCX and call its release code in the Shutdown()
handler. You probably also should use Marshal.ReleaseComObject and wait for
pending finalizers before you allow the Shutdown() code to complete so that
you're unmanaged objects are definitely released.

Hi Ken,

COleControlModule::ExitInstance();

Thanks,

I don't know, it's your ActiveX control. You know what's needed to release
it. I'd think that you need to release the object variables or pointers to
the control in addition to calling the control's release method. It's like
any other object variable or pointer, if you don't release it then it hangs
around.
