Do you have ideas for a workaround for this Known bug in Visual Studio 2010's addIn model ?
- by Jesper
When developing AddIns for Visual Studio 2010 the following line fails:
CommandBarEvents handler = (EnvDTE.CommandBarEvents)m_VSStudio.DTE.Events.get_CommandBarEvents(popup);
Update: Forgot to tell that m_VSStudio is of the type DTE2
Where popup is of the type CommandBarPopup (for the type CommandBarControl it works though)
The line fails with this Exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80020003): Member not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020003 (DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND))
The exact same line worked in Visual Studio 2008.
The purpose of the line is to get a handler which handles clickevents, when one clicks the Popup.
After som searching I found this link: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/524335/events-get-commandbarevents-exception-on-submenus-reproducible-bug-addin
Which basicly states that it is a known bug, which will not be fixed, because there is a workaround. But unfortunately it does not state the workaround :(
I would be extremely pleased if anybody has a great idea for a workaround ?
The reason why I want to listen to the click events is because I want to show or hide the submenuitems (CommandBarControl) given some condition, when one clicks a menu (CommandBarPopup).
So a workaround that uses something else than the click event would also be appreciated.
