outlook addins revisited

[jeremy]

Hi sorry to start a new thread but the google groups wouldn't let me
add to an old thread.

I had a problem where I made outlook addin buttons on the toolbar
temporary as there is no way to uninstall them when you are finished
with them and have done an uninstall.

that was fine. however, a side effect that as only just come to light
is this:-

If you open somebody elses calendar (File->open->other peoples folder),
my code to display my own outlook addin button does not run. and the
temporary button does not appear in the new window

I put debug in all the event/functions that are allowed and none of
them get executed.

Any ideas?

Ta

Are you using an Explorer wrapper and handling NewExplorer, as shown in the
ItemsCB VB 6 COM addin template? You can download that for study from the
Resources page at www.microeye.com

Hi
yes I had a look at that and it was a great help.

I needed to migrate it to .net and then it wouldn't load into outlook
but the original dll did!

I was on the right track by adding handlers to the explorers property
of the outlook application.
my code was running but then chocking as I was trying to access the
toolbar before it was created.

So I did what the example did and added the code to the explorer
activate event and everything worked fine.

So thanks again
