From: Bob S on 4 Aug 2010 13:56 Hi, I am working on an add-in for Outlook 2003. I am using VSTO and Visual Studio 2008. I have successfully added buttons to the "Tools" pulldown and the "Actions" pull down for viewing mail. When the user switches to looking at contacts the contents of the "Actions" pull down changes. I want to add a button to this actions pull down, not the one displayed when viewing mail. I have been unable to find the series of calls to give me access to this pull down menu. The ones which work hagve gone through this.application.ActiveExplorer. I have iterated through the inspectors with no luck and interating through the explorers just shows one which is the active explorer. Could someone point me in the right direction to find this pulldown? Thank you for your time. -- Robert E. Styma Principal Engineer (DMTS) Alcatel-Lucent, Phoenix

This group is for VB6 and earlier(VB Classic). VB.Net and all dotnet groups have either "dotnet" or "vsnet" in the group name. Please use the following group instead: news://news.aioe.org/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

As Nobody said, this group is primarily for VB6 support, but you will probably get a better response if you ask in one of the Outlook programming groups or forums as you're having a problem with Outlook itself. -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems (Replies direct to my email address will be ignored.
