On_Default_CommandBars_Complete confusions
April 19, 2010 at 6:33 pmParticipants 0Replies 1Last Activity 12 years, 11 months agoThere are some confusing descriptions in the programmer's manual. Can you elaborate what those properties and methods cause unpredictable behavior are?
In one place:
“Some properties and methods that are called from inside the On_Default_CommandBars_Complete event macro may result in unpredictable behavior, including XMetaL crashes. “another place:
“The On_Default_CommandBars_Complete event macro is a good place to carry out Command Bar customizations.”Derek Read April 19, 2010 at 8:12 pm

April 19, 2010 at 8:12 pmThe documentation should state something to the effect that calling any API that displays a dialog should not be done inside On_Default_CommandBars_Complete. You should also not open a document during this event, so do not use Documents.Open or other similar APIs.
This event is really generally only meant for making changes to “Command Bars” (ie: menus and toolbars).
I'll raise this with our documentation people.
