hi all,
I'm trying to develop an office addin, I have got around problems with the
wizard created setup program not working, but I have now hit a bigger
problem.
Events from office don't work correctly in dotNet land, something to do with
sinks not implementing IDispatch, the ms bug report Q309336 explains a way
around this by decompiling the interop dll and changing some il. I have been
unable to get this to work probably because i'm using office 2000, but even
if I could I don't really like back engineering autogenerated code.
the problem looks like this at code level:
try
{
// goes bang here
_inBox.Items.ItemAdd+= new
Outlook.ItemsEvents_ItemAddEventHandler(OnItemAdded);
}
catch(InvalidCastException ice)
{
Voice.Speak(ice.ToString(), SpFlags);
}
My question (finally!) is this: is there a way of getting an IDispatch
wrapper around the deletegate and then supplying it to the itemadd thingy in
that form ?
I suppose I could just write some form of MC++ extension and handle the
sinking via atl....
TIA
