[Word add-in] detect click on the e-mail icon

[Frenchy]

Hello,

I developed an add-in for Word 2003 using the extensibility project in VS
2003 (C#).

I'd like to fire a specific event: when the user clicks on the "e-mail" icon.

In my add-in I check if appWord.ActiveWindow.EnvelopeVisible is set to false
during the Application_DocumentChange event.

Doing this I can ensure that my add-in only works with Word and not Outlook
BUT there's still a problem, I'd like to disable the commandbar of my add-in
when the user clicks on that envelope (called e-mail).

Is there a way to fire that specific event? Or is there a way to simply fire
a mouse click? Then I could check at each mouse click if envelope==true… But
the user could also use the keyboard to access that functionality ïŒ

Any help would be welcome

Thanks

Hello Frenchy,

Try the CommandBars.OnUpdate event. In any case, the Envelope command bar is
visible when your add-in works on Outlook.
