Ok. Thanks for the info. I'll wait for Robert's return. Btw just out of curiosity are you creating your task panes as Add-ins or HTML task panes or something else? And do you know is there a way to launch an Add-in manually? You suggested to refresh the task pane, but I can't launch the task pane because I can't see the menu (from which the users start the task pane).

Looks like email is bouncing. This may be as easy as refreshing the taskpane. I don't know. Greg is back from vacation on 6.21. He may have a good idea. We do a lot of taskpanes here at Qdabra and I've never seen this issue. Probably related to Robert's controls. Good luck!

Thank you Patrick for your suggestion. I will sent an e-mail to Robert. I'll post the solution here too if I find one.

Hi Dave,

Have you sent e-mail to Robert Green (author of that article) to ask him? His e-mail is rgreen (at) 123mcwtech (dot) com.

Add-in Menu not showing

Dave Lind — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:32:07 GMT

Hi,

I've created an Add-in for InfoPath to show a custom task pane for user to fill the form faster. I got the example from MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968857.aspx), but I'm stuck with one problem. When I open my forms from InfoPath everything works fine, but if I launch a form directly from Explorer by doubleclicking it the Add-ins menu doesn't appear in the menubar. So obviously the events won't fire if opened directly from the filesystem. But after I launch a second form from the Explorer (without closing the first one) the Add-ins menu appears in the menubar correctly. So perhaps the Add-in doesn't have time to load itself to register the events when started first time from the Explorer window?

I appreciate any help to solve this problem.
