vs 2005 - adding toolbar in office 2003 yonido[ at ]gmail.com 20.08.2006 12:34:03 Hello friends, I need your help. I got an assignment and I'm working on it for two days with no breakthrough. I need to add a toolbar in outlook. It suppose to contain several buttons\checkbox (I still don't know how many) that will indicate on user decisions. It also contains a new "Send" button that will send the message but will consider the user decisions. In samples that I saw it implemented by creating a office.commandbar and some office.commandbarbuttons . First of all I need checkbox. Moreover I want to be able to control the location of each button. In other words is there any way to create a usercontrol and combine it in the outlook as a toolbar? Is it possible to connect it to the messages? I'm working with visual studio 2005 and outlook 2003 Thanks John

Re: vs 2005 - adding toolbar in office 2003 "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 21.08.2006 13:38:32 You can't add anything with a checkbox. You would need to set up a button that opens your own form if you need checkboxes. Variable numbers of buttons displayed when you select a popup control can only be done if you set up a dynamic collection of button handler classes and add/remove buttons from that collection as needed. -- 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 <yonido[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1156077243.811528.5480[ at ]i42g2000cwa.googlegroups.com...
