Advanced Outlook view and forms regions

Add-in Express provides Outlook developers with an innovative, truly unique technology of Advanced Outlook Forms and Views Regions. Using Advanced Regions you can customize Outlook views and forms by embedding custom .NET forms and using any built-in or third-party controls. As a result, you get full-featured custom-tailored Outlook plug-ins that work on all Outlook versions, across 2000 through the newest 2007. Note, you use any forms and controls for any Outlook views and forms!

So, you can extend any built-in Outlook views and forms as well as views and forms delivered with any Outlook-based clients, such as Business Contact Manager, the Microsoft CRM Outlook client and Getting Things Done Outlook add-ins. You can also use any forms to extend the Outlook bar and To-Do bar, Reading pane (Preview pane) and Navigation pane in C#, VB.NET, C++ and Delphi Prism.

Replace any Outlook views with your .NET forms

Advanced Regions based on Add-in Express allows you to replace the content of any Outlook views with your custom .NET form. For example, you can provide end-users with a feature-rich summary page based on your custom .NET form instead of the built-in Outlook Today.
