IRibbonExtensibility and specific folders "Michael Tissington" <mtissington[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> 1/16/2007 10:25:14 PM I have implemented IRibbonExtensibility but how can I only load the ribbon when the Outlook form is from a specific folder or message class (we have an ECE that does this for pre 2007) The RibbonID does not seem to reflect the actual message class.

Re: IRibbonExtensibility and specific folders "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 1/16/2007 11:03:00 PM If I remember correctly, you should be able to specify the ribbon visiblity callback, which will be called each time a ribbon is shown. You might want to post in microsoft.public.outlook.program_addins and/or microsoft.public.developer.outlook.addins.

Re: IRibbonExtensibility and specific folders "Michael Tissington" <mtissington[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> 1/16/2007 11:16:10 PM Thanks, have you been able to connect your ece to the class containing the ribbon code ?

Re: IRibbonExtensibility and specific folders "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 1/17/2007 12:18:14 AM I simply created a simply separate class for the COM add-in and communicates with ECE using global variables. In case of OutlookSpy the ribbon hanling is very simple - it is always shown no matter what :-) I did ribbon related functionality for several other add-ins, but there the show/hide ribbon logic was based on the sent/unsent state of the item.

Re: IRibbonExtensibility and specific folders "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" <pdschmid[ at ]nospam.mvps.org> 1/17/2007 12:54:56 AM You can use the RibbonID though to narrow it already down. That means, only send your RibbonX back to Outlook via GetCustomUI for those RibbonIDs that could be used for your message class. Then implement getVisible and getEnabled callbacks for your top-level item (tab or group). When getVisible/getEnabled get called, you get an IRibbonControl object that has a Context properties. You can use that Context property to get a handle to the current Inspector and from there figure out your message class. If it's the right message class, return true, otherwise return false. Why getVisible and getEnabled? Ribbon items that are not visible are nonetheless included in the Options, Customize dialog. So a user could potentially add any of those not available items to his or her QAT and then call them when he or she shouldn't be able to call them. Therefore you need to disable them as well. You'll have to implement an Outlook event though to invalidate your top-level control whenever you want to change the two attributes.
