Hello Karim,

This is a wrong way. Instead, you should put another TadxRibbonTab onto the module and set TadxRibbonTab.Ribbons as required.

Karim,

Ribbon controls are shown in this or that Ribbon. If you specify msrOutlookContact in the Ribbons property of a Ribbon component, the Ribbon controls the component creates will only be shown in Contact inspectors. Similarly, you can use a separate Ribbon component(s) to show your control(s) in Task inspectors.

Hi Andrei,

My problem is more general I would not like the ribbon component is displayed only in the context mail.
I understand for Instpector Options but for Explorer ?
For explorer view i would like property like msrOutlookExplorerMail, msrOutlookExplorerJournal etc ...

Karim,

I see. sorry for pointing yoou to a wrong direction.

You only have OutlookExplorer. You need to handle ExplorerSelectionChange and FolderSwitch events to invalidate the controls that you update using the PropertyChanging event.

In what way the code doesn't work?
