How to add a menu item to AppointmentItem's right-click menu?
OctopusThu 1/22/2007 8:52:16 AM
I want to add a menu item (a button) to AppointmentItem's right-click menu
(context menu).

I guess this can be done in the connect.cs of a COM Add-in?

Outlook 2007 adds an Application.ItemContextMenuDisplay event. There's no
support at all for context menus in earlier versions of Outlook.

That is to say I can BY NO MEANS add new items to the context menu in Outlook
2003?

There is a hack coded at www.outlookcode.com for adding to an Explorer
context menu, nothing for Inspectors, which is what you asked for. Even the
Explorers hack doesn't tell you which folder was clicked in the navigation
pane or in the list of items in a folder. And it's somewhat flaky.

Thanks a lot, Ken. I've been trying out the hack way of doing this.

By the way, Ken, can you explain to me what Explorer and Inspector refer to
in Outlook? What's their difference?

Thank you very much!

An Explorer is the window used to display a folder. An Inspector is the
window used to display an open Outlook item.
