Unable to override attachment printing
idMso "PrintAttach" cannot be overridden using TadxRibbonCommand

Outlook 2010
ADX VCL 7.0.1210

I can override the button with idMso "FilePrintQuick" using TadxRibbonCommand and OnAction event handler.
Why can I not do the same with idMso "PrintAttach"?

The "tip" that shows on the QuickPrint button on the Attachment Tools tab shows that Outlook2010 can "see" the PrintAttach override but when I click the button my custom event handler does not run. Outlook simply prints the attachment as normal.

I have tried this in a new ADX COM Addin with only the TadxRibbonCommand in it (with idMso "PrintAttach") calling a simple ShowMessage in its OnAction event handler. I cannot get it to work.

Am I doing something wrong?

Roger,

This works fine for me: 

object AddInModule: TAddInModule
  OldCreateOrder = True
  AddInName = 'coOutlookAttachmentQuickPrint'
  SupportedApps = [ohaOutlook]
  TaskPanes = <>
  Left = 626
  Top = 151
  Height = 400
  Width = 380
  object adxRibbonCommand1: TadxRibbonCommand
    Id = 'adxRibbonCommand9B851AE0C4F04AAC97E3F40CCB2E8AEF'
    IdMso = 'PrintAttach'
    OnAction = adxRibbonCommand1Action
    Left = 56
    Top = 48
    Ribbons = [msrOutlookMailRead, msrOutlookExplorer]
    Ribbons2010 = [msrOutlookExplorer2010]
  end
end


unit OutlookAttachmentQuickPrint_IMPL;

interface

uses
  SysUtils, ComObj, ComServ, ActiveX, Variants, Outlook2000, Office2000,
  adxAddIn, OutlookAttachmentQuickPrint_TLB, StdVcl, Dialogs, Classes;

type
  TcoOutlookAttachmentQuickPrint = class(TadxAddin, IcoOutlookAttachmentQuickPrint)
  end;

  TAddInModule = class(TadxCOMAddInModule)
    adxRibbonCommand1: TadxRibbonCommand;
    procedure adxRibbonCommand1Action(Sender: TObject;
      const Pressed: Boolean; var Cancel: Boolean);
  private
  protected
  public
  end;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TAddInModule.adxRibbonCommand1Action(Sender: TObject;
  const Pressed: Boolean; var Cancel: Boolean);
begin
  ShowMessage('!');
  Cancel := True;
end;

initialization
  TadxFactory.Create(ComServer, TcoOutlookAttachmentQuickPrint, CLASS_coOutlookAttachmentQuickPrint, TAddInModule);

end.

Thanks for that reassurance Andrei.

I am beginning to think that it is something to do with my development environment because I am starting to find that ribbon buttons that were invisible yesterday are visible today. I'll check for conflicts.

In the meantime, can you direct me towards sample code that uses the addin's Namespace property?

You may need to unregister all other COM add-ins...

In the manual - {Add-in Express}\Docs\adxvcl.pdf - see the section Sharing Ribbon Controls Across Multiple Add-ins.
