You can either cast the CommandBarControl to CommandBarButton and trap its
Click event or you can set an event handler to CommandBarControl with
objDTE.Events.CommandBarEvents(CommandBarControl). But AFAIK the OnAction
property does not fit in the new "Option Strict On" age of VB.NET... ;-)

Hi Avi,

One thing to try might be to ensure that you scope the CommandBarControl a
bit differently. It looks like this is a local variable that will go out of
scope, and it could be that this is why you are not seeing the event fire.
Typically an addin will make this a member of the object that implements
IExtensibility2.

However, I have not attempted to use this OnAction property before, so
Carlos sugestion might be a better way to go.

Sincerely,
