I have added few buttons in a new toolbar using VSTO 2005, which I add during

the add-in startup. User can set its visibility using customize>toolbars. I

want to persist the state of toolbar i.e. if Outlook is closed when toolbar

was not visible, the toolbar should not be visible on next startup. For doing

this I am trying to keep the state of toolbar visibility in registry. Is

there an event of closing the outlook when I can read the state of toolbar

visibility and save it in registry? Add-in shutdown does not work as the

explorers are closed by that time.

Is there an standard way of doing this I mean not through registry?
 
You can persist the settings anywhere you want, for example in the user

settings for the addin or the registry or a file stored somewhere, that's up

to you.

Handle the Explorer.Close() event and get the visibility in that event

handler.

Thanks Ken. Can you please give me fully qualified namesapce for class

Explorer which you have mentioned. I could not find any class which provides

Close as event. I am using VSTO 2005 with C#.

Where you have overloaded names such as the Close() method and the Close()

event you can usually use something like ExplorerEvents. I'd add that event

handler in C# using code something like this:

((Outlook.ExplorerEvents_Event)_expl).Close += new

Outlook.ExplorerEvents_CloseEventHandler(ExplClose);

_expl is an Explorer object declared at class level.

Hi Ken,

I am able to get the event now. But the problem is not solved because by the

time of this event active explorer is closed and I do not get reference to

the toolbar to check if it was visible last time or not. Is there any event

for the case when use clicks customize toolbar and enables or disables any

toolbar. My whole aim is to keep my toolbar visibility as previous case i.e.

before outlook was closed.

The Close() event should not be firing after the Explorer is already closed.

Your toolbar reference should be in place long before that event, you should

be getting and maintaining it when you create the UI.
