Is it possible to have two right pane ADX addins for say the contact folder?

For some reason my second adx addin will not show the right pane?

If I turn off the first addin (through Outlooks Com addins dialog) the second one works.

I think in the documentation it says something about only one pane supported. Is there a way that I can switch one off and the other on from one addin to another?

OK, I added an export to each addin and disable the other if it is running, which basically works. But, now I get the horrible flickering when enabling and disabling the forms. Before I was just toggling between 0 and 150 to make it visible and hidden.

Is there a better way to do this? Or am I best to make one dll that has both functionality in it and toggle between having two panels visible on the form?

I guess I also need to know if the new version (which is due later this month), work better in this regard before spend too much time on this problem?

Hi Jason,

The current version does not support more than one subpane. The next major version will work with several panes. We plan to release it in early December.

You can use TabControl on ADXOlForm to select your own UserControl.
Also you can create several AdxOlFormsCollectionItem with a different AdxOlForm. Use the AdxOlFormsManager.ADXBeforeFolderSwitch event to choose which form should be shown using the AdxOlFormsCollectionItem.Enable property. 


<PSEUDOCODE>
procedure TAddInModule.adxOlFormsManager1ADXBeforeFolderSwitch(
  ASender: TObject; ExplorerObj: _Explorer;
  SrcItem: TadxOlFormsCollectionItem; SrcFolder: MAPIFolder;
  DstItem: TadxOlFormsCollectionItem; DstFolder: MAPIFolder);
begin
  adxOlFormsManager1.LockUpdates;
  adxOlFormsManager1.Items[0].Enabled := false;
  adxOlFormsManager1.Items[1].Enabled := false;
  adxOlFormsManager1.Items[2].Enabled := false;
  if (condition1) then begin
    adxOlFormsManager1.Items[0].Enabled := true;
  end
  else if (condition2) then begin
    adxOlFormsManager1.Items[1].Enabled := true;
  end
  else if (condition3) then begin
    adxOlFormsManager1.Items[2].Enabled := true;
  end;
  adxOlFormsManager1.UnlockUpdates;
end;
</PSEUDOCODE>
