Create Add-in for multiple versions of Outlook ivan.pololi[ at ]gmail.com 12/30/2008 11:21:50 AM Hello, I'm creating an add-in for Outlook and I need it to work both with Outlook XP (2002) and Outlook 2007. I created it using Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library (Outlook 2002) and it works fine on Outlook XP. When I execute it on Outlook 2007 it works ok but the events don't fire. For example I have this piece of code but the Startup event doesn't fire in Outlook 2007: Private Sub outAppStartup() Handles outApp.Startup Log("ActiveExplorerCBars.0") ActiveExplorerCBars = outApp.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars Log("ActiveExplorerCBars.1") End Sub What can I check? Is there another method for creating add-in for multiple Outlook versions? Thank you very much and Happy New Year! Ivan Pololi Italy

What is supposed to trigger the outApp.Startup() event? What other events don't fire? How is this addin constructed?

Re: Create Add-in for multiple versions of Outlook ivan.pololi[ at ]gmail.com 12/30/2008 2:23:23 PM It is build with VB.NET, using the Shared-Add-in project. The OnConnection Event works fine. outApp.StartUp should fire on Outlook Application.Startup event. Also OnUpdate on CommandBars doesn't start.

Re: Create Add-in for multiple versions of Outlook "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 12/30/2008 2:58:29 PM If you get OnConnection you shouldn't bother with Startup, which fires before OnConnection anyway. You also may not get a valid ActiveExplorer at that point, certainly not with Startup. Use the OnStartupComplete event for trying to get ActiveExplorer. If ActiveExplorer isn't valid then handling OnUpdate won't work. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
