The actual length is greater than the MaxLength value about office-add-in-commands

[LezaMax]

Thanks you for the input @OfficeDeveloper1 . We can consider this but that might result in really long Tab names. Do you have a couple of examples (in English or other languages) that would require this?

[OfficeDeveloper1]

Hi LezaMax, Thank you for the reply. I am really excited about this new add-in model. To try and help my understanding I wanted to use very explicit resid's with long text descriptions.

The example below shows a long resid for the SupertipDescription which exceeds 32 characters in length.

Supertip
Title resid="res_ShortStrings_SupertipTitle"/
Description resid="res_LongStrings_SupertipDescription"/
/Supertip

bt:LongStrings
bt:String id="res_LongStrings_Description" DefaultValue="Addin Description" /
bt:String id="res_LongStrings_SupertipDescription" DefaultValue="Supertip Description"/
/bt:LongStrings

Are the resid's only used for linking the resources to the elements ?

[LezaMax]

Yes @OfficeDeveloper1, they are only used to link to resource elements. The length of all resids attributes is the same irrespective of which resource type they are linking to.

No plans to address this right now. Closing.
