check box

[Mark Smith]

Is there a way to add a check box to a tool bar in Outlook using C++? I
figured out how to make a toggle button, but a check box would be better if
I can do it.

So I take it no one has any ideas for this question? If nothing else I
assume I can use an Active X control to do this. I am not familiar with
Active X controls at all, however. Can somebody point me to a good primer
or samples on using these in Outlook add-ins?

No, you can't. Outlook CommandBars support only CommandBarButton,
CommandBarComboBox, and CommandBarPopup (for submenus).

Well in the C++ interface there is a _CommandBarActiveX class that is
similar to the other CommandBar controls, so I assumed I could use that.
