Front-End Profiling

po8crg

I'm currently writing a suite of add-in functionality for Word (2003, if it matters) for a law firm. I'm developing this in VB.NET 2005 as a COM Add-In to Word. This functionality replaces masses of VBA macros that were written for Word 2000.

One feature that was available in Word 2000/VBA was front-end profiling, whereby an event fired whenever a user created a new document (this is a normal Word event) and the save screen automatically came up.

I can get at the event from my add-in, but I can't manage to get the save screen to come up. The code in VBA that did this was:

' Get the menu.
Set objMenuBar = objApplication.CommandBars("File")

' Get the save button.
Set objSaveButton = objMenuBar.FindControl(ID:=748)

' Press the save button.
objSaveButton.Execute

I've tried various ways of doing the same thing (ie pushing the "save" button), but all of them do a local save, rather than saving to WorkSite.

I've checked, and doing it from VBA does the right thing, but calling what is, as far as I can tell, the same function from an external DLL does the wrong thing.

Is there a way I can do this, eg through IManExt/IManExt2, or am I going to need to have a tiny bit of VBA code that I call from the DLL?

It's possible that WorkSite's COM AddIn (Office Integration code) is not yet loaded before your AddIn is loaded. Try naming your AddIn alphabetically after WorkSite's.
