can't get EA_ShowHelp event to fire

[LurkingGrue]

I've successfully written several small add-ins in C# that build menus, respond to menu clicks and interact with the repository via automation interface just fine.  However, I've never been able to get the EA_ShowHelp event to fire in any of them (EA 6.x or 7.x).  EA just brings up its own help screen without ever calling the function in my add-in dll.

Here's the method signature that I've been trying:

Code: [Select]

public void EA_ShowHelp(EA.Repository repository, string menuLocation, string menuName, string itemName)
{ \\ this never gets called }Is that incorrect so EA isn't finding my event?  Or does this just not really work as described in the docs? It's not super-critical to using the add-ins, but would be nice to get going and finally just bugged me enough to post about it
