Edit Outlook context menus

[Matthew Leichty]

Has anyone ever managed to manipulate the Outlook context menus? I know it
must be possible, despite not being exposed in the Outlook object model.

What must one do?

Outlook does not directly expose the right-click context menu in its
CommandBars collection. You will, however, see a new right-click command is
when the item selected is using a custom form that includes one or more
custom actions. Richard Kagerer has posted a code sample at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=314 that shows how you might
trick Outlook into exposing the context menu through Explorer.CommandBars.
