I have developed a COM addin in visual C++ for Office Word which creates a
toolbar whit two buttons on it, but I don't know how to handle more than one
button events. The problem is that my addin runs the same code for the click
of any of the two buttons.
The DISPID dispidMember (first input) of my class's Invoke function is 1
independent of which button has been clicked.

Note that this group is specific for VBA questions. The best place to ask

Your event code can query the TAG or CAPTION property of the button (the button
object should be available through the event args) and branch accordingly, I
should imagine?
