Event Handler for Folder Selected "roger[ at ]rogndeb.us" <roger[ at ]rogndeb.us> 5/19/2006 10:17:43 PM I found event handlers for regular outlook items, but how do I insert an event handler for other folders? I have 2 buttons on a custom toolbar, and several application specific folders. I need to enable or disable the toolbar buttons depending on which folder the user selects.

Re: Event Handler for Folder Selected "roger[ at ]rogndeb.us" <roger[ at ]rogndeb.us> 5/19/2006 11:16:40 PM Ok, I have an event handler working, but now I am trying to figure out how to enable/disable toolbar buttons on the fly.

Re: Event Handler for Folder Selected "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 5/21/2006 5:45:03 PM You would need a method to access the CommandBarButton objects that are your buttons and set their Enabled property True or False as warranted by the current state. -- 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 <roger[ at ]rogndeb.us> wrote in message news:1148080600.564586.55990[ at ]j73g2000cwa.googlegroups.com...

Re: Event Handler for Folder Selected "roger[ at ]rogndeb.us" <roger[ at ]rogndeb.us> 5/24/2006 6:37:28 PM I created access to the button objects when they are created. They're not null, but when setting the Enabled property to true, the buttons remain grayed out.

Re: Event Handler for Folder Selected "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 5/24/2006 7:00:54 PM Are you getting a valid button object? Is the Enabled property returning an error? I've found that especially in WordMail that even if a button object is a valid object that most of its properties and methods aren't valid even in the button Click event handler. In those cases I have to actually reinstantiate the button object using FindControl and then I can set properties such as Picture and Mask and set visibility and enabled. -- 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 <roger[ at ]rogndeb.us> wrote in message news:1148495848.843506.42530[ at ]38g2000cwa.googlegroups.com...

Re: Event Handler for Folder Selected "roger[ at ]rogndeb.us" <roger[ at ]rogndeb.us> 5/24/2006 9:19:18 PM The return from the button.Enabled = true is true and button.Enabled = false is false; I will try using FindControl instead.

Re: Event Handler for Folder Selected "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 5/24/2006 9:44:11 PM Sure it's the right button in the right Inspector or Explorer? In my wrapper classes for Inspectors or Explorers I can set Enabled and Visible true or false based on business logic conditions and it works. The only time I have to re-instantiate the button objects are in WordMail Inspectors. -- 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 <roger[ at ]rogndeb.us> wrote in message news:1148505558.304329.208800[ at ]38g2000cwa.googlegroups.com...
