Programmatically using the "resend this message" action? Dave M <dmatsumotoatvelocity11dotcom> 3/10/2006 4:28:44 PM Hi, I'm very new to the whole Add-In world. For my first add-in, I wanted to address the resending feature. Our spam engine requires that emails get resent to a particular email address. I personally got tired of double-clicking an email, just so I could select Actions -> Resend this message. I figured that adding a new menu to the Menu Bar would be the best way (in addition to having an accelerator key, like Ctrl-Shift-P). So I actually have three questions: 1. Is there a really good online resource for programming Outlook, or should I go and purchase Microsoft Outlook Programming? 2. By searching through online resources, I managed to get the new menu to appear in Outlook, but can't figure out how to get accelerator keys (like Ctrl-Shift-P, etc) to work. 3. What objects in the Application object should I be looking at to try to figure out how to perform the "Resend this message" action in my command handler? I'm a VC++ programmer, but the only examples I could find online are in VB, so I'm using VB6 at the moment, until I can learn how to port to VC++. My intial attempts using ATL would compile, but the add-in would never appear in Outlook, even though the add-in properties were clearly listed in the registry... Any information on the above three questions would be really appreciated! Thanks, Dave

Search them with Google, 2) Outlook does not support custom keyboard shortcuts, only accelerator keys set with the ampersand in the command caption. 3) CommandBars.
