Hi Carlos,

I still have'nt work with add-ins and macros, so I cannot properly talk
about it, but I'll explain you how I use this interface through the designer
of a component, and perhaps it helps you.
Anyway, I was testing the points you expose in your previous message, and
this interface does'nt solve them.

// Make the designer implements IComponentInitializer
class MyComponentDesigner:System.ComponentModel.Design.ComponentDesigner,
IComponentInitializer
{
   ...

// Implement the interface
void
IComponentInitializer.InitializeExistingComponent(System.Collections.IDictionary
defaultValues)
 {
  base.InitializeExistingComponent(defaultValues);
  // hook point
 }

 void
IComponentInitializer.InitializeNewComponent(System.Collections.IDictionary
defaultValues)
 {
  base.InitializeNewComponent(defaultValues);
   //  hook point  }
  }
}
