Standard Outlook Form customization

[Dave]

Hello

I am very new to the Outlook development so forgive me if I ask something
stupid

I am trying to put together an addin that would have it own toolbar and also
expand the standard Outlook Contact form by adding a few extra fields to it.
something similar to what Plaxo addin (http://www.plaxo.com) is doing to the
contact form.
I can probably figure out the toolbar part but I don't have any ideas on the
contact form customization. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

David

Plaxo is not using any obvious Outlook form technique and hasn't, to my
knowledge, revealed their approach. The general consensus seems to be that
they're using low-level Windows programming to overlay images and other
information on the form window.
