Add button to Outlook 2003 advanced find menu bar??

[Paul D.]

I'm trying to figure out how to add a button that can be clicked from the
Advanced Find window. My add-in looks at the items selected and sets a
category. The problem is the commandbar that I added to the standard menu
bar using the code below only shows on the Standard toolbar of course! I
also need it to show somewhere in Advanced Find.

Set moCBMeow =
moApp.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars.Item("Standard").Controls.Add(msoControlButton, , "890", , True)

I've been able to create an Outlook 2003 add-in using a bunch of great info
from outlookcode.com and microeye.com... using VB 6.

Anyone know how I could add a toolbar, menu bar, command bar, or context
menu that would show on the Advanced Find window??

I've been trying to figure this out for a week!!

You can't do that. The Advanced Find window doesn't expose any interfaces.

Thanks for the response Ken. One last question...

Since with a macro you can customize and drag and drop an icon on the
Advanced Find menu bar, is there a way to manually get my added commandbar to
drag and drop like a macro? At the moment, when I click customize on I don't
see my toolbar item as something listed... is this because it was dynamically
created?

User created toolbars/menus can't be used when you have the Customize dialog
open.
