SYMPTOMS

If a managed Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) add-in for Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 does not keep a reference to the Application.Events object, application events may not occur.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, follow these steps to keep a reference to the Application.Events object:

Note The following steps use Microsoft Visual C#.

1. Add the following member variable to the add-in:

   private Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.ApplicationEventsClass events;

2. Add the following code example to the OnStartupComplete method.

   events = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.ApplicationEventsClass)applicationObject.Events;

Note When you no longer need a reference to this object, make sure that you add code to release the reference to the object from memory.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
