Problem with ComAddin sample code

[Scott McPhillips [MVP]]

I'm studying building addins for Word, and have started with the
ComAddin sample code provided in KB article Q230689. This is C++ code
at the raw COM level. To show the basics all it does is pop up a
message box when it is loaded, and create a button in Word, and pop
another message box when the button is clicked. That works ok, but then
if a document is opened in Word the button stops working. Any clues why
that would happen?

Show some code.

Eventhough the scope of this NG isn't covering yr development platform, from
the contents and the Word object model knowledge people will likely to give
you pointers
from the MS Word object modell point of view.

Hi Scott,

Try to re-connect the command bar button.
