ComAddin sample ribbon problem with Word 2007

[Scott McPhillips [MVP]]

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!

If you are targeting 2007, then you shouldn't be using the CommandBars
model. See

For getting started on doing an unmanaged C++ add-in with RibbonX
