ribbonx and with c++ "Daniel" <dgrillo[ at ]radvision.com> 2/22/2007 6:58:11 PM Hello all. I'm currently updating an older Outlook addin we have. It's written in C++ with visual Studio 2003. We're trying to put our addin buttons on the ribbon on appointment items. I found the excellent article written by Eric Faller, "Using Ribbonx with C++ and atl" (http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/12/08/using-ribbonx-with-c-and-atl.aspx) and have managed to get the ribbon button to appear. The callbacks are a little trickier though is getting the call back for the button right. Mr. Faller implements all the callback functions on the same class that implements "OnConnection()". That class is not the one in which I've implemented my inspector wrapper for appointments. How would I be able to have the callbacks occurr not on the connection class but on another class. And how would this effect multiple open appointments?
