Hi,

we have ADXTaskpanes which contain wpf user controls with text boxes.
After applying the Windows Update 1903 the text boxes no longer react to keyboard input.

After experiencing the problem we tried a completly new addin and still did not get the text boxes to work.
We even tried a new addin with a task pane and adding windows forms text boxes to the task pane, but even the windows forms text boxes no longer react to keyboard inputs.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks.

Greetings Fabian

Hello Fabian,

Make sure your project references the latest Add-in Express build: 9.3.4641.

Hi Andrei,

we recently updated to ADX 9.3.4641.0, but we are still experiencing the issue.

Is there a different approach we can try?

Fabian,

Thank you for the test project. It contains this reference: 

    <Reference Include="AddinExpress.PP.2005, Version=9.0.4610.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e69a7e0f3592d2b8, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
      <Private>False</Private>
    </Reference>


Could you please open that project and check that the actual version referenced is 9.3.4641? If so, is the issue reproducible with this reference?

Hi Andrei,

I changed it to the specific version, but I am still unable to edit text in task panes. 

    
<Reference Include="AddinExpress.PP.2005, Version=9.3.4641.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e69a7e0f3592d2b8, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
      <Private>True</Private>
    </Reference>


Do you have other ideas?

Edit:
I also tried

Hello Fabian,

Aha, we've found a workaround for you. In {HKCU & HKLM}\Software\Microsoft\Office\PowerPoint\AddIns\<your_addin_progid>\Settings, add a new DWORD value: DisableKeyboardHook=1.

Hi Andrei,

I just tried it with the test addin and added the DWORD Value to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\PowerPoint\Addins\Taskpane.AddinModule, but it is still not working.

I also disable all other Addins to make sure they do not have a negative impact on the test.

Do you still have other ideas or do you see some problem with my implementation of the workaround?

Where's the Settings part?

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\PowerPoint\Addins\Taskpane.AddinModule\Settings

Hi Andrei,

yes. That was the problem. Sorry about that.
What I could determine in my tests is that only the HKCU entry is important even for per machine installed addins.

Edit:
Are there drawbacks for using this registry key?

Edit 2:
We have the same problem in a Outlook Addin. But adapting this workaround for Outlook does not seem to work.
We added the key to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\{progid}\Settings

Do you also have a workaround for Outlook?
