Hi All,




I have created outlook addin for outlook 2003 in vsto-2008. When I have tried to allow property 'allowDrag' to textbox it gives runtime exception "dragdrop registration did not succeed". I have searched on net, got suggestion to use threading.




Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ShowForm));
t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
t.Start();



public void ShowForm()
{

form.ShowDialog();
form.Dispose();
}




Drag problem solved using thread but it give other problem in my application as follows
a) When I right click on context menu then form disappear.
b) Some time application hangs...




Can I solve this problem without using thread? Because handling thread will almost change my design.




Regards,


Nit
 
Are you trying to use the Outlook object model from a background thread?

That's not supported and will crash or hang Outlook. You have to marshal

that background thread to the main process thread if you are using the

object model.

Thanks Ken for replay.


I am not interested to use thread. I want to know, Can DragDrop registration will possible without using thread.I got following error while registering DragDrop event for text box.


"System.InvalidOperationException: DragDrop registration did not succeed. ---> System.Threading.ThreadStateException: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it."




I searched on net and got threading solution. But Can we solve this problem without using thread?

I will give details about my project.


In ThisAddIn class..




[STAThread]


private void NewButtonClick()


{
Form frm = new Form();
frm.ShowDialog();


}




and in form class.


I have created textbox and set AllowDrop=True;


it gives following error




System.InvalidOperationException: DragDrop registration did not succeed. ---> System.Threading.ThreadStateException: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it.

I put [STAThread] above startup method




[STAThread]


private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)


{
.
.


}




how should I proceed?
