A couple of weeks ago I came across an interesting article on MSDN - Building a C++ Add-in for Outlook 2010.

When Outlook is closing, Add-in Express saves the state of all regions embedded into Outlook, namely their position (if drag-and-drop is turned on), state (regions can be minimized or entirely hidden) and size (if resizing is allowed). We implemented this feature just to give end-users the utmost comfort when working with Outlook regions......

Add-in Express 2008 allows placing several forms into one Outlook region or task pane. In addition, Add-in Express 2009 enables the end-user to drag and drop custom forms to wherever they want to (naturally, with the developer's permission). Do you need to know where your form is now and in what state? Of course, you do…...

Part 2 of the Advanced Outlook Regions series, which focused on Outlook Explorer and Inspector regions, ended with the promise that there would be no pictures in the upcoming post, instead it would touch on rather unobvious, rarely used, but highly interesting stuff. Well, the first thing that I'd like to start with is cached instancing......

Our web-site somehow absolutely imperceptibly for me turned into a collection of pages containing a bit outdated information about our products. I think we will spend the whole year 2009 on putting our web-site in order. In the meantime, I am going to systematically publish complete reviews of one or other of the capabilities that, in my opinion, are covered insufficiently or their descriptions are outdated. And I will start with perhaps the most popular feature of Add-in Express - the Advanced Outlook View and Form Regions......

As early as in July 2008, in version 4.2 we added beta support of three rather specific regions: FolderView and ReadingPane for the Outlook Explorer window, and InspectorRegion for the Outlook Inspector window. Since then we have fixed a couple of bugs, but didn’t go through with it to announce these regions 100% complete......
