Replace Reading Pane

Is there a ways to completely replace the reading pane on emails with certain attachments?

I have my own reading pane displaying, but Outlook shows it with two small arrows (the main reading pane followed by mine). I would like to disable the default reading pane when and only when a mail item with a certain attachment is previewed.

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

There's no way to replace the Reading pane. A workaround is to hide it and to show your advanced custom task pane in the BottomSubPane or RightSubPane layout. See http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=5227&MID=26019#message26019.

Oh, there's the Delphi version of that code, see http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=1&TID=6220&MID=30863#message30863.

Andrei,

I can now easily toggle the reading pane on and off... Thanks!

I am now having problems getting my custom task pane to show/hide when I toggle the reading pane. The code I am using to hide/show it is:

adxOlFormsManager1.Items[0].Enabled := TRUE; {show it}

adxOlFormsManager1.Items[0].Enabled := FALSE; {hide it}

Unfortunately, once I hide it, I can never show it again. I probably need to set another property again, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help you can provide would be helpful as always.

Thanks!
