Customize the Message Form

[Nauman Khan]

Hi,

Can we customize the Message form ? Like

1- Get Rid of Default Toolbar on Message Form [I mean default toolbar should
not display when our customized form is displayed]
2- Add some button to a New Message Form [When i open some email - it
ofcourse displays in a Message form - If i want to Create a button on say
right Top and also want to handle its event, how would i implement it] - If
someone has used Plaxo then you can understand exactly what i mean.

I will highly appreciate your help.
Regards
Nauman

1) Yes, you can use CommandBars techniques to hide/show any toolbar or
individual command, except the menu.

2) Plaxo is not customizing a message form; the consensus seems to be that
they're using low-level Windows programming to overlay a button on the
Outlook item window.

You didn't say anything about the scope of your application and it would
actually be doing. That would have a bearing on the approach.
