what is your code? Does it get called?
I would seriously consider switching to a COM add-in if I were you...

Hi Dimitry,

Thank you for your help.

This code should add menu to outlook main window and new mail.

&nMenuPos, NULL, 0))) {
return S_FALSE;
}

// g_context is a global variable getting from MyExchExt::Install
fonk.

if ((g_context == EECONTEXT_SENDNOTEMESSAGE) || (g_context ==

Does it actually get called when you run under the debugger?

Yes it is called under the debugger and i don't get any failure. My
plugin is added succesfully and some other feature runs properly but
my menu and buttons can't be shown on outlook toolbar.

I don't know, sorry - it's been at elast 5 years sinc I used ECE API to
insert menu items.
I used OOM even from an ECE to do any UI related functionality.
