Unable to receive events from Office::msoControlButton

[KarthikonIT]

I'm (trying to) program an addin in VC++ (VS 2005) for Outlook 2003

How do I catch the event when the user clicks a button within the menu? Is

there a way to DispEventAdvise for the Office::CommandBarControls or the

Office::CommandBarPopup which "owns" the menu items?

My addin has a toolbar, which has a menu (Office::msoControlPopup).

I am able to listen to events when the user clicks on a button in my toolbar,

but not when we clicks on a menu item(Office::msoControlPopup) in the toolbar

what should i do to listen to that event when user clicks on a menu in my

toolbar.

Here is my sample code:

I have created a CEventWrapper class which implements IDispEventSimpleImpl

Interface.

CEventWrapper.h

//Implemented a class from IDispEventSimpleImpl

class CEventWrapper ublic IDispEventSimpleImpl<1,CEventWrapper ,&__uuidof(

Office::_CommandBarButtonEvents)
{

public:

CEventWrapper (void);

CEventWrapper ( Outlook::_ExplorerPtr spExplrPtr, Office::

_CommandBarButtonPtr spCmdBrBtnPtr);

CEventWrapper (void);

Office::_CommandBarButtonPtr m_spCmdBrBtnPtr;

}

typedef IDispEventSimpleImpl< CEventWrapper.h&__uuidof(Office::

_CommandBarButtonEvents)> CmdBarBtnEvnts;

//Implemented Sink map.

BEGIN_SINK_MAP CEventWrapper

SINK_ENTRY_INFO(1, __uuidof(Office::_CommandBarButtonEvents),0x1,

OnButtonClick , &OnButtonClickInfo)

END_SINK_MAP()

HRESULT __stdcall OnButtonClick(LPDISPATCH lpBtnDisp, VARIANT_BOOL

*vbCancelDefault)

{

//Event Handler

}

CEventWrapper.cpp

_ATL_FUNC_INFO OnButtonClickInfo ={CC_STDCALL,VT_EMPTY,2,{VT_DISPATCH,VT_BOOL}

};

CEventWrapper ( Outlook::_ExplorerPtr spExplrPtr, Office::

_CommandBarButtonPtr spCmdBrBtnPtr)

{

CmdBarBtnEvnts:ispEventAdvise((IDispatch*)m_spCmdBrBtnPtr); //Attaching

to the event source.

}

HRESULT __stdcall CButtonWrapper::OnButtonClick(LPDISPATCH lpBtnDisp,

VARIANT_BOOL *vbCancelDefault)

{

//B. Logic.

}

Adding "Office::msoControlPopup" to the toolbar.

{

//Added from a different class in "OnConnection"..

Office::CommandBarControlPtr spCmdBrCtrlPtr;

Office::CommandBarControlsPtr spCmdBrCtrlsPtr

spCmdBrCtrlPtr = spCmdBrCtrlsPtr->Add( vCtrlTyp, vMissng,vMissng,vMissng,

vIsTempry);

HRESULT hr = spCmdBrCtrlPtr->QueryInterface( __uuidof( Office::

CommandBarPopup),

(void**)&m_spCmdBrPopupPtr);

spCmdBrCtrlPtr = m_spCmdBrPopupPtr->Controls->Add(vCtrlTypBtn, vMissng,

vMissng, vMissng, vIsTempry);

CmdBarBtnEvnts:ispEventAdvise( (LPDISPATCH)m_spCmdBrBtnPtr );

}

Thanks in Advance.

There are no such events for popups or CommandBarControls. You have Click()

for buttons and Change() for combos, that's it.

Hi Ken Thanks you so much! for answering.




Using a different login now.




I am able to receive the events now from the menu that I have added in my toolbar.


But my current problem is in the lpDispatch parameter i m getting vfptr as NULL(0x0000000).




I m sorry i was wrong by saying a POPUP Menu.




Please check this link for reference:




http://www.supinfo-projects.com/fr/2006/add_in_outlook_2007_en/2/


I m trying out 2.3.5 msoControlPopup in that link






If there no POP ctrl what is this all about.




Please help me...








Here is my sample:


OnDataChange fn()


{




Office::CommandBarControlsPtr spCmdBrCtrlsPtr


Office::CommandBarControlPtr spCmdBrCtrlPtr;




Office::CommandBarPopupPtr m_spCmdBrPopupPtr;


Office::_CommandBarButtonPtr m_spCmdBrPOPUPBtnPtr;










//Adding msocontrolpopup to Office::CommandBarControlsPtr


CComVariant vCtrlTyp(Office::msoControlPopup);


spCmdBrCtrlPtr = spCmdBrCtrlsPtr->Add( vCtrlTyp, vIsTempry,vMissng,vMissng,vIsTempry);




spCmdBrCtrlPtr->QueryInterface( __uuidof( Office::CommandBarPopup), (void**)&m_spCmdBrPopupPtr); //retrieving the Office::CommandBarPopupPtr




CComVariant vCtrlTypBtn(Office::msoControlButton);


m_spCmdBrPOPUPBtnPtr = m_spCmdBrPopupPtr->Controls->Add(vCtrlTypBtn, vMissng, vMissng, vMissng, vIsTempry); //Adding a Button.






//Setting the properties


m_spCmdBrPOPUPBtnPtr->Visible =VarTrue;


m_spCmdBrPOPUPBtnPtr->Tag = bsTag;






CmdBarBtnEvnts:ispEventAdvise( (LPDISPATCH)m_spCmdBrPOPUPBtnPtr ); //Attaching the event dispatch


}




> h file




public IDispEventSimpleImpl<3,CGrabExplorer,&__uuidof( Office::_CommandBarButtonEvents)




typedef IDispEventSimpleImpl< 3,CGrabExplorer,&__uuidof( Office::_CommandBarButtonEvents)> CmdBarBtnEvnts;






SINK_ENTRY_INFO(3, __uuidof(Office::_CommandBarButtonEvents),0x1, OnDataChange, &OnDataChangeInfo)




_ATL_FUNC_INFO OnDataChangeInfo ={CC_STDCALL,VT_EMPTY,1,{VT_DISPATCH}};
