Actually, there are quite a few code samples for that at
www.outlookcode.com. I'd also look at the ItemsCB template on the Resources
page at www.microeye.com for a VB 6 COM addin template that shows command
bars on Explorers and how to use wrappers for multiple open Explorers so
your buttons don't get confused. That template also shows many workarounds
for Outlook COM addin bugs.

For an example of an Inspector wrapper for VB 6 for multiple open Inspectors
