Hi again,

I am trying to detect the presence of the command bar "envelope" in my Outlook Add-in, in order to show my toolbar if word is the mail editor.

I have found your sample for a Word Add-in. Do you have some example how to find the toolbar from an Outlook Add-in?

Thank you.

Dmitry,

When I run your sample, it works fine. But when I copy your code to my add-in, the CommandBars collection is not available in the Inspector. It rise an exception accessing it.

Do you have any idea why?

I also tried to move the code to the "NewInspector" Outlook event. Here I can access the CommandBars collection, but the "Envelope" command bar is not visible at this level.

Any suggestion may help :(

Hi Thomas,

Do you have any idea why?

What Delphi version do you use?

I also tried to move the code to the "NewInspector" Outlook event.

I don't recommend using this event handler.

Mmmm....

I have found where the problem is;

I have declared OutlookXP in the Uses, because I need it to work with the reminders collection that is not available in Outlook 2000.

If I remove OutlookXP from "uses", then your code works fine.

I am now trying to find a solutions to uses the reminders AND your code :)

Hi Thomas,

See the code below. 


uses Office2000, [B]Outlook2000[/B], [B]OutlookXP[/B], Dialogs;

procedure TAddInModule.adxCOMAddInModuleOLInspectorActivate(Sender: TObject);
var
  CmdBar: CommandBar;
begin
  try
    CmdBar := [B]Outlook2000[/B].TInspector(Sender).CommandBars.Item['Envelope'];
    if Assigned(CmdBar) and CmdBar.Visible then
      MyInspectorCommandBar.Visible := False
    else
      MyInspectorCommandBar.Visible := True;
  except
    // not found
  end;
end;
