Custom Toolbar is missing on inspector window while composing mai

[CoolSanil]

Hi all
I am developing com addin for outlook 2k3 and 2k7 using ATL/COM . I have
written inspector wrapper class which will wrap inspectors in NewInspector
event. In wrapper class i add new toolbar on inspector window. When i open
any email for reading i can see toolbar properly added. But when i try to
compose mail my toolbar is missing (only image of the button is present and
all other parameters eg. caption, tooltip are gone). After playing with
outlook i came to know outlook uses word as editor for composing mail, when i
change it to default email editor of the outlook (other than word) i can see
toolbar properly added. So my problem is toolbar is missing when email editor
is word, what should i do to see toolbar using any editor(word / defauld
outlook)
Any help will be appriciated.

With WordMail do you get any errors when you actually create that toolbar?
Is it created but not visible or enabled?

If it's just not enabled/visible you will need to handle the Word event for
WindowActivate in your code. In that event if wn.EnvelopeVisible == true
it's a WordMail window, if == false it's a Word.Document window. You then
have to iterate the collection of Word CommandBars and find yours and set
visibility and enabled state as desired.

The same thing applies if it's a Document, if you don't want your UI shown
there you will need to disable it and/or make it invisible.
