Is this MailItem a reply? Or is this Inspector-Item readonly?

Hello,

Using ADX, I have added an adxOlInspectorCommandBar with one button to adxOLPost Items.

The aim is to make it easy for the user to archive the current e-mail to the main system (database).

At the customer's site, Outlook seems to run into problems when the button is clicked in a Reply.

As this doesn't make too much sense anyway, I want to disable the button when it is shown in a Reply Email Window.

Is there any way to check whether the current item is a Reply?
Or can I check to see if the current item is writeable?

Kind regards,
Taco Oosterkamp

Hello,

I have done some more testing.

Outlook 2002 indeed crashes when I press my button, but only when MS Word is the e-mail editor.

So I fixed this problem by using the BeforeAdd event:

CmdBar.Visible := not Inspector.IsWordMail;

That works great for now. Still it wouldn't be bad to know how to check if the currently selected MailItem is editable or read/only.

Kind regards,

Hi Taco,

You can try to check the Sent property. It should be False in this case.
