I am studying how to develop COM addins using unmanaged C++, and the ComAddin sample provided in KB230689 is a good start. (It just puts a button in a toolbar.) It's working with Word and Excel 2003, and with Excel 2007. But with Word 2007 it loads, the "Addins" ribbon tab briefly appears, but then it disappears. Seems to be a problem with the ribbon: the addin is still connected but the Addins tab won't stay displayed. Any clues? And, any good book or resource recommendations for developing Word addins would be welcome. Thanks! -- Scott McPhillips [VC++ MVP]
If you are targeting 2007, then you shouldn't be using the CommandBars model.
