Load and Unload Problem

[Chakkaradeep]

hi all,

i have written an addin in VC++ to add a new button in the Standard Toolbar of the Inspector Window-the window which appears when u double click on the message in the inbox.The button is added successfully but as soon as i close this window the button doesnt appear again...i have to load my addin again.

i have given the loadbehaviour as custom load because if i give it as load startup..it is giving error since there is no inspector winodw opened.

please give me a solution so that i can keep my addin active till the Outlook Application terminates....
no problem if it is VB...i can convert to VC++..

with regards,
chakkaradeep.

You must trap Inspectors.NewInspector event and add your button if it is not
there in the event handler.

Either use the class wrappers created for you by the compiler or do the
events the regular COM way: QI the Inspectors collection for
IConnectionPointContainer, call
IConnectionPointContainer::FindConnectionPoint(IID_InspectorsEvents, ...),
then IConnectionPoint::Advise() passing your implementation of IDispatch.
Whenever an event is raised, your implementation of IDispatch::Invoke() will
be called with the appropriate dispid.
