Problem with Inspector CommandBars and MS Word Yuri Loban 10.07.2006 09:55:02 Hello all, I have a next problem: My Add-in adds a custom CommandBar with button into MailItem Inspector's CommandBars object via NewInspector event. The MS Word editor is switched on. It works properly. But... If MS Word application was run before the MailItem Inspector was opened (for example New Mail Message action), the Inspector's CommandBars refers on MS Word application commandBar object !!!, therefor my custom commandBar appears in MS Word application and action received from my custom button from MS Word, not from Outlook MailItem Inspector. What is wrong? How can I obtain Outlook Inspector CommandBar? Regards, Yuri

With WordMail you can hide your buttons when the mail envelope is not exposed using an events aware Word.Application object in your Outlook code and handling the WindowActivate event. If Window.EnvelopeVisible = True then the mailer is displayed. If False then it's a Word document object. With WordMail you are limited in which toolbars you can use and display, you can work with Standard or create your own toolbar. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Yuri Loban" <Yuri Loban[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:32114A0C-31C0-4B50-AF8C-979128EAFAE6[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Problem with Inspector CommandBars and MS Word Yuri Loban 11.07.2006 16:01:02 Thanks for your advise. But, one problem is still here: I've used commandBar, as you recomended, and it appears in both Outlook and Word application (?). And unfortunately, my notification event for button in commandBar is attached in Word application, not in Outlook. What could you guess?

Re: Problem with Inspector CommandBars and MS Word "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 11.07.2006 19:26:35 If your code runs and adds the button to the Inspectors.CommandBars.Item("Standard") toolbar you should receive the Click event in your Outlook code. I just add a button as usual whether it's WordMail or not. There are other things to account for with WordMail, such as the buttons being in the Normal.dot template or wherever your CustomizationContext is and when to hide and show the buttons, but the click event should fire within your Outlook addin code. If WordMail is running (Inspector.IsWordmail = True) then Inspector.WordEditor is the Word Document object. WordEditor.Application is Word.Application and WordEditor.ActiveWindow is your Word window. I already mentioned how to figure out when to show or hide your buttons (Window.EnvelopeVisible = True means WordMail is showing). Setting CustomizationContext.Saved = True after adding or deleting your buttons will prevent dialogs asking the user to save Normal.dot changes. You must explicitly delete any WordMail buttons you add as Word does not honor the Temporary = True argument. So you delete all your buttons when the Inspector is closing. Other than those things buttons in WordMail or the Outlook email editor are the same. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Yuri Loban" <YuriLoban[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:82862DB0-3D63-4B90-9866-E128BB3E639E[ at ]microsoft.com...
