Open a View programmatically?
« on: August 10, 2010, 02:13:10 pm »
Hi All,

Any ideas on how to open one of the items under the View menu via an add-in?

Reason being, I've created an add-in that appears in the add-in window via Repository.AddWindow and I want to ensure people can see it!

We are having the same need - anybody got a good solution?
Not just a Regkey solution?
we want to display the "add-in" pane

The guys raised a feature request for me, so hopefully it'll come through soon.

They're pretty speedy so fingers crossed!

We have Ideas, but have not implemented any so far!

* have setup set a Keyboard Shortcut, use send keys to open the view
* send windows messages to the menu

Will tell you once we have something running.

Sounds like a real windoze solution. You'll need real programmers for that.

Sending keys works but is a "real" hack, and has limitations!
Once people change shortcuts or use localized version it will be gone.
