I'm afraid this might be caused due to a change in the logic how projects are processed in combination with (re-)building the visual project tree. This change was done to speed-up the process and this event might not have been considered. You could check this by compiling the DisplayEvents plugin against 10.05 (for example) and see if the order was really different.

However, it really means to inform whenever a project is activated which is what it does. That the order is now after the project open event maybe something to fix by moving the project open event before activate, but this needs to be done with care.

I wonder why you need both: Open and Activate. Usually you only need one of these depending on what you have in mind and then the order becomes not important. Is there a particular reason why you need the Open before the Avtivate event?

Thanks for the reply, Morten.

I've tried with 10.05 and it's even worst (from my point of view). From the log below, you'll see that the cbEVT_PROJECT_ACTIVATE is triggered after loading the first project, which is the active one. But the four cbEVT_PROJECT_OPEN just come at the end of the workspace loading.

So, to answer your question... it's different, but not yet what I'd expect...

That's what I'd do, if I knew the code better... but I understand that this has to be done with extra care to avoid breaking something else...

Maybe there's a clever way of doing things, but I'm writing a source control plugin for MS Visual SourceSafe and I get the config information from the project on Open. And whenever then user activate another project, I use this information to display the actual files in check-out for the active project on Activate.

It all works well, expect when loading a workspace with more than one project. Then, I hit the Activate before having seen the Open and I don't have the config information to access the SourceSafe DataBase...
