VSTO Customization

Hi,

I'm completely new to this product so please bear with me.

I'm a consultant who has designed a Word document customization using MS Visual Studio Tools for Office. My client uses FileSite 8.2 through Outlook. The problem is that we need to apply our customization to existing FileSite documents. Long story short -- according to MS, the only efficient way to get a VSTO customization into an existing Word document is by opening it, inserting the Runtime Storage Control and Save Close Open. So we need to provide the client with a seamless and quick way of doing this automatically through the FileSite menu. I have no idea where to start. What I envision is right clicking the document link and having an item in the menu which will do this but I have no idea how to accomplish this. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you mean that you would like to add a custom command on the right-click menu for the FileSite document grid, i.e, Worklist, search results, folder document list, etc?

yes, that's right. So the user would right click, see my menu item and execute a command or macro or something. The the user would be able to perform all the regular FileSite commands. Thanks.

Sorry, actually I mean in the worklist area. You would have the document you searched for and then right-click the document link. Then you have the menu where you'd find Open, Edit Profile, Export, etc. This is where I'd like to add a custom menu item that would do what I'd need to do. Thanks.

You may implement the ICommand Interface to add custom command to our WorkSite Desktop Clients. The Creating Custom Commands in WorkSite.pdf has reference info on this. There are also sample custom command projects
provided.

Both manuals and sample code are distributed with the WorkSite iToolkit under
iHelp and iCommands folders respectively.
