COM Add-in to create Custom menu for office 2000 & XP

[Karthik]

Hi,

I am developing a COM Add-in to create custom menu in the
standard Menu bar of office components. The custom menu
items listed are different for Outlook and Word. This is
the area where I am facing problem.

In Outlook, If I set the Mail Format option to "Use
Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages", then I am getting
Word as my e-mail message editor. In this case, I am
getting the Word menu, instead of Outlook menu in the Menu
bar of e-mail message editor. I want to know how to get
rid of this? This is one issue.

When Word and Outlook are open, and by some means I manage
to get the Outlook menu instead of Word menu in the e-mail
message editor, then the menu in word is getting affected.
There the menu intended for Outlook is being displayed in
the Word's Menu bar

Thanks,
Karthik.

Do you have any sample code for that?
