Hi All,

I have Outtlook Addin (C# 2.0, VSTO 2005, Outlook 2003),

i subscribed to close event:

explorerEvents.Close += new
Outlook.ExplorerEvents_10_CloseEventHandler(OnExpl orerClose);

but i never get there, why???

Only if i open another explorer (right click on folder-- Open in new
folder), and close it , then i get the close event fired, but when i
have only one explorer (main explorer) it's seem to be never fired.



P.S. I also susbscribe to FolderSwitch and SelectionChange explorer
events , they works fine.

Any suggestions??

It sounds like you're not subscribing to the correct Explorer's events and
that you're not using a wrapper collection for open Explorers. If you were
you wouldn't get Close on the first Explorer after opening a second
Explorer.

Are you getting ActiveExplorer and subscribing to that in the Startup event
handler in your VSTO addin?

FWIW I do get all Explorer events including on the first Explorer and
separate events in my Explorer wrappers for each Explorer event I subscribe
to including Close().

they fires well.

Sorry probably i didn't explain right my problem, but if open another
explorer (NewWindow) on this just opened explorer
on closing it teh Close event will fire. On main explorer (explorer
that i get when Outlook is starts) i never get close event.


Are you getting ActiveExplorer and subscribing to that in the Startup event
handler in your VSTO addin?
Yes that exactly what i'm doing.



Any other suggestions??, Things that i should check??


Thanks in Advance.

Not offhand. Post the parts of the code you're using to set up your Explorer
events handlers. Maybe we'll see something.

Thanks,

outlookExplorer is hold reference to Explorer

Outlook.ExplorerEvents_10_Event explorerEvents =
(Outlook.ExplorerEvents_10_Event)outlookExplorer ;

explorerEvents.Close += new
Outlook.ExplorerEvents_10_CloseEventHandler(OnExpl orerClose);
explorerEvents.FolderSwitch += new
Outlook.ExplorerEvents_10_FolderSwitchEventHandler (explorerEvents_FolderSwitch);
explorerEvents.SelectionChange += new
Outlook.ExplorerEvents_10_SelectionChangeEventHand ler(explorerEvents_SelectionChange);


thats All, tnx

And this is called in your Startup() event handler? And outlookExplorer is
declared at class level and not in the procedure? What you show looks OK to
me.

I usually test for something like this:

if(Outlook.ActiveExplorer() != null)
{
outlookExplorer = Outlook.ActiveExplorer();

// then I add the Explorer events
}
