Article ID: 827596 - Last Review: September 12, 2011 - Revision: 4.0 The Object Browser shows all methods and hidden properties in Office 2003 and in the 2007 Office suites
SYMPTOMSWhen working in Microsoft Visual Studio using the Microsoft Office Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) for Office 2003 or Office 2007, hidden properties are visible in the Object Browser, even though the Show Hidden Members setting is not checked. CAUSEWhen the Office PIAs are created, the hidden attribute of object properties were not persisted correctly, allowing those properties to be displayed by default. Hidden methods will not be shown unless the Show Hidden Members setting is checked. The problem does not affect the functionality of the PIAs, only the display in the Visual Studio environment.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a
bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to"
section. MORE INFORMATIONAs an example of the problem, if you add a reference to the Microsoft Outlook PIA in Visual Studio, you will see the following object properties in the Visual Studio Object Browser which you would not see in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Collapse this table
