Is there any way to use an Outlook add-in to intercept a dial event?
What I'd like to do is integrate the built in Outlook dialing (when you
can right click on a contact and click "call") with a SIP phone/PBX. I
can do this if I get the event with the DNIS (phone number) and send a
TCP message to another application. I've figured out a way that I
might be able to do it for the contacts view (since I can modify the
context menu and get the current selection), but this won't work for
right clicking contact names in the preview pane or mail viewer (which
is inherently more useful). Is there any way that I can have an event
fire on my add-in whenever a user attempts to call a contact with
outlook?
