IMonitorSelection_SelectionChanged not very reliable?

[danny.little]

IMonitorSelection_SelectionChanged in the ZipCode Package I know is not written for 2.6, noted by another post. I was wondering if people have issues with missing the events?

It does not seem to be to reliable for when I leave a field and check some information and show the user a warning about something. It just seems the events are being dropped or taking a long time to get to me. I know Mirosoft may guarantee delivery of an event, it just does not guarantee WHEN the event will get there.

I guess my question is, is it wise to use the monitor selections for issuing warnings to users?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The IMonitorSelection::SelectionChanged event should be reliable, however, it is not designed to be used in validation scenarios. The selection monitoring service of the shell is not available when using the ProForm API outside of the Select UI.

If you feel that the IMonitorSelect events are not firing when expected, we would need a repro sample to help reproduce the problem and provide a fix for it.
