Outlook 2007 / Addin with Ribbon

[Paul Liebrand]

I have developed an addin for Outlook 2007 with my own ribbon UI. Everything
works great if launched from Outlook. However, if I right click on a file and
do a Send To Mail Recipent, I can see my custom ribbon, but the events never
fire.

The send to problem also occurs from Word, Excel, etc.

Any ideas?

Simple MAPI Send To doesn't fire the NewInspector event.

If you attempt to handle Outlook being started in that way it can lead to
hanging the source application for the Simple MAPI call, or hanging Outlook.
You have to be very careful handling those situations.

For running addins you can run a timer that checks to see if any members of
the Inspectors collection is not being handled.

How would running the timer checking for unhandle members help?

If you find something in the Inspectors collection that isn't being handled
then start handling it as if you had just received the NewInspector event.
