PowerPoint 2007 slide show context menu problem

T

Todd Wilkes

In a C# VSTO SE AddIn I'm writing for PowerPoint 2007 I'd added a menu option
to the context menu of the slide show window.

The other day it was reported to me that the option no longer worked. I
checked it out and tried multiple ways to get it to work. Then I realized
that the "Next" and "Previous" options on the context menu no longer worked
either, while the rest of the options did.

After testing for some time (and creating a couple new generic AddIns) I
found out that if none of my plugins (test or otherwise) asked for events
from the Application (such as AfterNewPresentation) the "Next" and "Previous"
options would work. If I made the following changes, the above options no
longer worked. These are the only changes I made to the default behaviour:

private void ThisAddIn_Startup( object sender, System.EventArgs e )
{
this.Application.AfterNewPresentation += new
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.EApplication_AfterNewPresentationEventHandler( Application_AfterNewPresentation );
}

void Application_AfterNewPresentation(
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentation Pres )
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine( "Application_AfterNewPresentation" );
}

I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues.
