Multiple FormRegions, the GUID, and ThisAddIn.RequestService()

My setup:

Windows XP, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, using VSTO SE, developing in C#.

Question background:

With regard to a single FormRegion, Microsoft instructs the following:

Replace the definition of the FormRegionHookup class with the following

code. This code implements the

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.FormRegionStartup interface, and applies the

ComVisibleAttribute, GuidAttribute, ProgIdAttribute, and

ClassInterfaceAttribute attributes to the FormRegionHookup class.

[ComVisible(true),

Guid("88F7BFBE-7666-4a0c-BCFD-2740E6625E04"),

ProgId("FormRegionAddIn.FormRegionHookup"),

ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)]

public class FormRegionHookup : Outlook.FormRegionStartup

Question:

If I have 2 FormRegions that I have created and I have 2 classes where each

class extends the Outlook.FormRegionStartup interface.

1. Do I use the same GUID for both classes?

Guid("88F7BFBE-7666-4a0c-BCFD-2740E6625E04")

My gut answer to this question is "Yes", but I just want to make sure.

Worse yet, my "ThisAddIn" class only has 1 "protected override object

RequestService(Guid serviceGuid)" method.

We are taught to write:

if (serviceGuid ==

typeof(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.FormRegionStartup).GUID)

{

// Instantiate your form here.

myForm = new myFormRegionHookup();

myForm2 = new myForm2RegionHookup();

// Then return your form to the caller. Yeah, but which form???

return ???;

}

Solved these problems:

The FormRegion you return from "RequestService()" will define the

"FormRegionName" used in the call to "GetFormRegionStorage()".

Since I have 2 FormRegions, and since "RequestService()" gets called once

for each FormRegion in my AddIn, I just keep track of which FormRegion I

return from "RequestService()" using a boolean variable, like this:

// Return the "m_form1" on the first pass and the

// "m_form2" on the next pass.

if (!m_form1Returned)

{

m_form1Returned = true;

return m_form1;

}

else

{

return m_form2;

}
