Hi,

What and how to provide an Office COM Add-in with additional data through

Thanks,

Hi Mircea,

Based on my research, the IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection is called by the
addin host, i.e. the office application. Because we have no way to change
the office code to pass additional information to addin. . Currently Office
supplies a single value -- a flag that indicates how the application was
started (by user, by OLE, by Automation). ( The last parameter custom), It
is provided in the spec to allow for future extensibility without breaking
method signature.
