Need Help on COM AddIn registry entries

Hi,

I am having 2 COM AddIns for the TenderEnd hook... Both of them works well indivudually. But when I have both of them together, the AddIn that was added first is getting invoked and the second AddIns is not invoked. When I exit the POS and the registry entry of the second AddIn vanishes... Both the DLLs are registered... The registry entry is as follows...

Hook Number: 000 Caption: AddInCaption1 Description: AddInDesc1 HookType: 15 ObjectName: AddIn1.class1 Parameter: 1

Hook Number: 001 Caption: AddInCaption2 Description: AddInDesc2 HookType: 15 ObjectName: AddIn2.class2 Parameter: 1

What could be wrong? What is that I have to do to get both the AddIns working?? Thank you very much....

Srikanth...

Hi,

I have 2 COM AddIns for the "TenderEnd" Hook. But when I run the POS only the AddIn that is added first into the registry is getting invoked, and when I check the registry again after exiting the POS, the second registry entry vanishes... How do I have 2 AddIns for the TenderEnd Hook... I have registered both the AddIns (the DLLs) and they both work perfectly invidually... Here are the registry entries that I added....

Hook Number: 000 Caption: Hook1 Description: Hook1 HookType: 15 ObjectName: AddIn1.class1 Parameter: 1

Hook Number: 001 Caption: Hook2 Description: Hook2 HookType: 15 ObjectName: AddIn2.class2 Paramter: 1

Thank you,

Hi Glenn,

I didn't check your reply at first, but I finally figured out that "count" is what I have to increment and I came to the user groups to update the post and I saw your reply... Stunned at first, you are an MVP, thank you very much... You've been helping me since I started my project on MS RMS Integration... Thank you once again.... Hats off to your talent... I am always your fan...

Did you set the Hook Count to 2? If you have 2 hooks defined, but the hook count is 1, the first will be loaded and the second will be removed from the registry...

I've never tried adding 2 hooks for the same event, so Hook Count may not be your problem, but it sure sounds like it...

Hi Srikanth,

You have to merge the code together into one Dll, in which you can check the condition to fulfill your two requirements and use on hook.

Hi Dinesh,

I never thought anyone would ever open this topic again that I started almost 2 months ago. I was going through my previous postings and I accidentally saw this one.

And the reply for your answer

No, we don't have to merge them. We can have 2 hooks for the same event. But as glenn said, we need to be a little careful with the count of our hooks.

Actually I would have merged the code if I were to develop both the hooks, but I faced this problem bcos the other hook-in was not actually mine. But the hooks will be invoked sequentially depending on their hook-number (i.e 001 first, 002 next and so on)... i am not very sure about this, but I think this is the way it invokes the hook-ins.

Hi Srikanth, We can have multiple hook sequeentially depending on hook number. I have done some of these customisations. Did you resolved your issue..?
