.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / July 2006VS 2005 Add-in and Keyboard mapping?
Greetings, I have written a custom add-in in c# for 2005 and I can't seem to get the add-in to appear under the "Tools\Customize\Addins\" section. I have converted my default addin code to act as a toolbar as per an article on msdn. (I think it was about an office tool bar, but I used Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars in place of the office bars). Everything works fine, but I can't seem to map keyboard presses to my addin. I can't seem to find the bar anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help! Hi, Thank you posting! Based on my understanding, the problem is you develop a custom add-in commandbar based on a MSDN article, but you cannot find it in the VS2005 IDE. Please correct me if I misunderstood anything. In order to isolate this problem, we need to confirm whether your add-in has been loaded/registered in the VS2005 or not. Could you find your custom commandbar add-in's entry in the Add-ins Manager (Tools | Add-ins Manager)? If your commandbar add-in has already been loaded/registered in the VS2005, but the command information is lost and your commands disappear from the menu or toolbar, I suggest you can try the following procedure demonstrates how to restore the commands: 1.Exit all instances of Visual Studio. 2.Make sure the value of the <CommandPreload> tag in the .Addin XML registration file is set to 1. 3.Restart Visual Studio. If the above steps don't work either, then we need more detailed information about your add-in program, on which MSDN article your add-in program is based? How do you modify that article's sample? These information and tests will help us get closer to resolving your issue, so I appreciate your time in performing them. Let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. I am standing by to help you Thanks!

How do you modify that article's sample? I don't remember what the exact article, but what I did was create an addin using the EnvDTE.DTE technique simliar to the article link below (this link was shared by Carlos who posted below, but is pretty similar to how I created my tool bar). http://www.mztools.com/articles/2005/MZ003.htm But the key difference is that I put my creation code for the tool bar and buttons in the "OnStartupComplete()" event method, because it seemed to always go into the connect method several times so I moved it. I suspect that this maybe my cause of the problem, but I am not sure.

I suspect >that this maybe my cause of the problem, but I am not sure. I have tested that sample code and moved the main function routine of OnConnect to the OnStartupComplete procedure, it works fine on my side. The My Menu item and MyCommand commandbar button could be loaded as expected while starting the VS2005 IDE. In this regard, I thnk there may be some problems in other modification of your add-in program, I suggest you can search the problem in that direction. Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Charles, >Thanks, I would like to know the way to fix the bug. I am not very clear what the bug you mentioned in this issue. The OP already found out the root cause of this problem, he just forgot to add the commands to the _applicationObject.Commands collection while adding the items to the toolbar. Thanks!

Are you using EnvDTE commands to create the buttons? What you see in that tab are commands, See: HOWTO: Adding buttons, commandbars and toolbars to Visual Studio .NET from an add-in.

What you see in that > tab are commands, See: Hello Carlos, thanks for the reply! Yes I am using EnvDTE commands to create the buttons. I did this before by performing the creation in an ATL control last time, and I was able to map commands to it. Now that I am doing pretty much the same code in C#, but the only difference is that the addin isn't showing up in for the short cuts. I am currently creating my tool bar in the OnStartupComplete() function, so is why the commands don't get registered? > I am currently creating my tool bar in the OnStartupComplete() function, > so > is why the commands don't get registered? That is not correct since that event only fires if the add-in is loaded at the same time that VS. It won't fire if the user loads the add-in using the add-in manager after VS is loaded. See again the code of my article HOWTO: Adding buttons, commandbars and toolbars to Visual Studio .NET from an add-in http://www.mztools.com/articles/2005/MZ003.htm and stick to it. Ensure that it works as expected. Then, if you want to deviate, tell us why. BTW, I updated the article yesterday with more info. SignatureBest regards, Carlos J.

See again the code of my article I figured it out my problem I was adding my items to the toolbar, and the buttons were showing up fine, but I forgot to add the commands to the _applicationObject.Commands collection. Once I did that they showed up fine. Thanks for the great web site! Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months. There are no hidden fees and no obligation.
