Why does my AddIn do OnConnection() twice?
 

Hi

I have an addin application that takes a selection and strips out all
strings are not numbers, then it takes out strings which are too short of
too long and then displays the removed items in one listbox and the
remaining items in another listbox.

The code below seems to work ok but when it gets to the line where it calls
WorksheetFunction.IsText() it goes all the way back to the
AddinInstance_OnConnection method of the Connect.dsr. Why would it do this?

Another problem i am haveing with this code is that the first time i click
the button it works ok, the second time i click the button it acts as though
the selection is 'Nothing'.

I dont know if it is important to know in the context of this post but the
OnAction property of the button is set to the ProgID of the AddInInst passed
to the AddinInstance_OnConnection method.

Code is listed below.

Thanks
Ben

Ben,

Are you referencing your forms directly? In your code I read references
to: frmInvalidNumbers and frmSendSMS

But I cannot determine if these are (Public) variables, or
direct references to the Project's components.

If it's the latter.. then that might be your problem.


Public ufINV as frmInvalidNumbers
Public ufSMS as frmSendSMS


On click
if ufINV IS nothing then
Set ufINV = new frmInvalidNumbers
else
ufinv.lstText.clear
endif

ufINV.LstText.additem etc..

ufINV.Show vbmodeless
