Novice: Adding a menu to current menu? Peter 9/28/2006 5:28:02 PM Hello, Thanks for reviewing my question. I am just starting out and so I am not sure if this is possible but I would like to know if you can add to an existing context-sensitive menu. When you are in Outlook and have your list of emails in front of you, you can right click on an email and menu (Open, Print, Reply, Forward, etc.) is displayed. I would like to know if its possible to add my own menu item to this menu? And of course if true, how do you go about doing this? Many Thanks Peter

"Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 9/28/2006 6:18:08 PM It's possible as a hack that mostly works (it's supported fully in Outlook 2007), but the hack doesn't tell you what was right-clicked on. You can use Explorer.Selection to tell what was selected in the view but that may not be the same as the item the user right-clicked on.
