I want to handle the hyperlink click event in an outlook mail. To open the hyperlinks in outlook mails without opening the browser within itself. Does anyone know how to handle hyperlink click event on a mail item? After searching a lot, I found that there is no way to catch the hyperlink click event in outlook. If we want to catch a link we can define our own protocol url as follow. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914(VS.85).aspx Then using our own protocol handler we can catch the event. If someone needs more information ask here. Write an Outlook Add-in .net to handle that. To

EDIT: The posters answer is correct except for it should read xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" for the include. As a side effect the ribbon and context menu defined in an XML file will not work in Office 2007. If you need to add a context menu in 2007, use the now deprecated, and a context menu within the Outlook 2007 message window is NOT POSSIBLE. this.Application.ItemContextMenuDisplay += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationEvents_11_ItemContextMenuDisplayEventHandler(Application_ItemContextMenuDisplay); I've created both a Ribbon and a Context menu,

tl;dr When setting CustomProperties to an appointment that has attendees, only the appointment for the organizer gets the CustomProperties . The properties do not propagate to the appointments of the other attendees. Longer version When we create an appointment with multiple attendees and then log in as each attendee, we notice that each ItemId is different. So, it appears that each attendee in a meeting gets their own copy of an appointment. (Would really like someone to confirm this is true). However, when setting a custom property from our add-in (using the Outlook JavaScript API), only the

I'm using ApplicationEvents_11_ItemSendEventHandler (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.outlook.applicationevents_11_itemsendeventhandler.aspx ) to do some processing when an item is sent from Outlook. However, as this event fires on "send", rather than "sent", I'm unable to obtain certain information, such as the sender, sent time etc. Is there an alternative event that fires after the item has actually sent? I've read this blog post; http://easyvsto.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/how-to-save-mail-content-when-a-mail-is-sent-from-outlook/ but I'm wary of depending

I'd like to create a Custom Contact List ( or address book as it's called ) so that in Outlook the user will be looking at "Suggested Contact", "Contacts" etc., and then, "Custom Contacts". I went off and tried the following. int count = this.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").AddressLists.Count; This gives me the value of 8. So, naturally, I've tried to Add something to the address list object but guess what - there's no such method. It's nothing strange about that, since the API clearly states that it's read-only object. However, I need to set up an address book/list ( whatever it's called )

I have a boolean property Settings.Default.MarkAsRead in the Setting.settings file, which I can access in my Ribbon class. What I'd like to do is set the value of a check box in my backstage section depending on the value of this property. Also if the user modifies it, I'll need to save the new value. Any way I can do this? This is my (simplified) xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <customUI onLoad="Ribbon_Load" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui"> <backstage> <tab id="MyBackstageSection" label="MyBackstageSection" columnWidthPercent="30" insertAfterMso=
