Context menus for addin in Outlook 2010

[dan g]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to update my COM outlook addin for Outlook 2010. Specifically,
I'm trying to implement the new ribbon interface in the main explorer. For
the most part all is well. The only thing I can't seem to do is when in the
Mail view, get my own item options under the "New Items" button. The xml I
have succesfully puts in the groups and ribbon buttons I need, but when I try
to put in the xml code to add the context menus, Outlook doesn't like it and
refuses to load the xml at, and I don't see any of my ribbon buttons. See
the xml below and tell me if you see what I'm doing wrong. See specifically
below everythingin the "contextMenus" section. Everything above that works
fine until I add the contextMenus section (this is set from
GetMainRibbonUI()).


<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab idMso="TabMail">
<group id="SCOPIAMAINGroup" label="SCOPIA Desktop">
<button id="SCOPMeetingBtnMain" imageMso="MeetingsWorkspace"
screentip="Create SCOPIA Meeting" size="large" label="SCOPIA
Meeting" onAction="MainMeetingRibbonButtonClicked"/>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
<contextMenus>
<contextMenu idMso="MenuMailNewItem">
<button id="MyMenuMailNewItem" label="MenuNewMailItem"
onAction="SettingsRibbonButtonClicked"/>
</contextMenu>
</contextMenus>
</customUI>

For something new for Outlook 2010 in the ribbon schema such as context
menus or Backstage you need to use a different xmlns:

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui"

That was it. I've been going in circles for days, my eye skipped right over
the details of the schema. Thank you!
