Add-in Express Regions for Microsoft Outlook and VSTO - Public Release

[19 Dec, 2011] Version 1.2.1250

ALTERED:

Significant modifications in the Advanced Outlook Regions core to ensure compatibility with other Add-in Express products in Outlook 2010 x64.

FIXED:

"Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow" exception when an advanced region was used in Outlook 2010 x64.
An exception when changing the Text property of the ADXOlForm class using the Timer.Tick event handler.
Unexpected Unicode symbols were added to a message body when composing the email in some scenarios.

KNOWN ISSUES:

WPF + Office 2003 - 2010 Issues:

Various issues remain in all Office and .NET Framework versions caused by a partial incompatibility of the WPF core and Office GUI.

WebBrowser Control Issues:

Outlook may lose the focus after activating the WebBrowser control residing on an advanced form region.

Outlook 2003-2010 Issues:

WebViewPane region cannot be used for folders if their WebViewOn and WebViewUrl properties cannot be set. Possible solution is setting the "Allow Script in shared folders" and "Allow Script in Public Folders" options in the security settings. See also the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923933.
ADXOlForm placed in the WebViewPane region is flickering when switching between folders.

Outlook 2010 Issues:

TopSubpane, BottomSubpane, RightSubpane, LeftSubpane and FolderView regions for appointment folders do not work in Outlook 2010. We recommend using the DockTop, DockBottom, DockRight and DockLeft regions as an alternative.
An ADXOlForm may lose the focus when switching between pages on Inspector windows.
Another form may become active when switching between Inspector pages if the forms were added to the same region by several add-ins.
BottomTodoBar region works only when Appointments or Task List is enabled in the ToDo bar options.

Social Connector Outlook Add-in Issues:

In Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010, advanced form regions may work incorrectly if the Social Connector Add-in is enabled/disabled manually. Outlook should be restarted for advanced form regions to work correctly.
In Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010, the ReadingPane region does not work if the Social Connector Add-in is installed.
