outlook-addin

I am adding an entry to the context menu for a Contact in Outlook 2013 following the example in this article . Here is the XML: <customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load"> <contextMenus> <contextMenu idMso="ContextMenuContactItem"> <button id="MyContextMenuContactItem" label="Do something..." onAction="OnDoSomething" insertAfterMso="DialMenu"/> </contextMenu> </contextMenus> </customUI> The entry shows up in the menu properly, and when I click it, my event handler is executed: public void OnDoSomething(IRibbonControl control) { object context =

I'm using C# with Outlook Object Model (Redemption is not an option for me due to licensing) and I'm having difficulty programmatically encrypting an email message before sending it. I can successfully get a reference to the CommandBarButton which supposedly represents the Encrypt button (Id 718 according to online examples), but I cannot programmatically depress it. I tried using both the CommandBarButton Execute() method and using SendKeys (not sure if sendkeys is even valid in this context). All debug.writeline statements show that the button is in the msoButtonUp state. I've been playing

I'm working on a VSTO Outlook 2007 add-in that basically synchronizes Outlook data with web service. There are three types of synchronization that I want to have in the app: startup sync, manual sync and sync on shutdown. The first two as simple and are already done. However I have problems finding an appropriate event to fire to handle my sync on shutdown. I tried hooking to the following two events but it seems that they are fired too late when add-in doesn't have access to Outlook data and this just doesn't work: ((Outlook.ApplicationEvents_Event)Application).Quit (this one fires first, but

I'm making an Outlook Add-in (Visual Studio 2010, .NET 4.0, C#), and I would like to automatically archive a user's email after they send it. What I have so far is the following: private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { //Create an event handler for when items are sent Application.ItemSend += new ApplicationEvents_11_ItemSendEventHandler(saveEmail); } private void saveEmail(object Item, ref bool Cancel) { } What I've found through debugging is that my saveEmail method fires off right before the email actually sends. This is OK, ideally I would like it to be fired off

In visual studio I am creating an addin, in the addin_startup I am setting an Outlook application to app = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass)(Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application")); then I am calling a runMacro function which I got from msdn private void RunMacro(object oApp, object[] oRunArgs) { try { oApp.GetType().InvokeMember("Run", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, oApp, oRunArgs); } catch (Exception e) { MessageBox.Show(e.GetType().ToString()); } } I pass this function, my Outlook app object and the name of the macro to run in an array, as so...

I am using a Application_NewMailEx to treat all emails received. It works fine on emails received while Outlook is open. However on startup, the Application_NewMailEx does not get called by received emails. I tried using a Application_Startup but it is called before emails are received ==> does not work. There is no application.ontime to delay the startup macro... Application_NewMail does the same. How can it be done? Private Sub Application_NewMailEx(ByVal EntryIDCollection As String) INIT_FOLD TreatMsg Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetItemFromID(EntryIDCollection) End Sub NewMailEx event

I'm trying to enable outlook web add-in for mobile by making below changes in manifest file but the installation fails and throws below error.

Background We are having users complain about links ( <a href="..."> ) from our Outlook addin not opening in their default browser. Some see that Google Chrome (default) is opening, which is the intended behavior. But some see that IE is opening regardless of what the default browser is. I suspect this may have something to do with the version of Outlook - but I haven't been able to pinpoint how and what. Maybe it has got something to do with the IE version on the computer since the addin window should be running in IE. Perhaps even the version of Windows. The users that have seen the issue so
