word 2003 add-in : CommandBarButton.State

[Wayne S.]

For a Word 2003 Add-in, I need to add a menu command to an existing menu. I
am adding a CommandBarButton object, which is working fine, but I cannot
alter the State property of the object. (I want to be able to toggle its
state between msoButtonDown and msoButtonUp.) When I try to change the state
I get an exception indicating that the set_State command returned a value of
0x800A01A8. What does this error code indicate? Is there a way to get
around this?

Thanks.

Try to use a delegate to alter the button.
