Hi

Programs VB.net & Outlook 2000

I am working on an Outlook Com Add In using multihreading to do some time
intensive stuff. My problem is the following.
I need to add some buttons with Eventhandles to the Outlook Toolbar. By
pressing them some Functions in my programm should be called.
That is working fine, till I am using a second thread. The thread is
accessing Outlook with another Com Object called Outlook Redemtion. When
this Com Object reads data from Outlook my Eventhandles do not work
anylonger. If I set the Eventhandlers after I read the data the are still
not working. I add the Eventhandlers in the OnConnection Method. For now the
only way to make my program work is not to exit the OnConnection Function
till the thread is done with loading and terminated.

Thanks for helping

Markus

Sample code would be helpful in solving your problem. In general, all COM
Add-ins are in process to Outlook. You will only be able to piggyback on the
Outlook.exe process, and you cannot start a separate thread.
