TabSetReccurringAppointment

Hi,

I am using version 6.3.757 for VCL and Outlook 2010.
When I add a TadxRibbonTab and set the "Context" property to "Outlook.TabSetReccurringAppointment" none of the ribbons will show up.
When I use "Outlook.TabSetAppointment" everything works fine.
Please could you look at this ?

Greetings

Other TadxRibbonTab properties (TabSetReccurringAppointment) set to:
Caption = Test
IdMso = TabAppointment
Ribbons = [msrOutlookAppointment, msrOutlookExplorer]
With or Without adding controls has the same result

Hi Ronald,

Note that the tabsets are available in the Explorer Ribbon only. Make sure that you enabled the "Show add-in user interface errors" in File | Options | Advanced.

The Ribbon tab below works fine for me: 

  object adxRibbonTab1: TadxRibbonTab
    Caption = 'adxRibbonTab1'
    Context = 'Outlook.TabSetReccurringAppointment'
    Controls = <
      item
        Id = 'adxRibbonGroup0E779459FC8B437591EA5DA878383709'
        Caption = 'adxRibbonGroup1'
        Ribbons = [msrOutlookExplorer]
        Ribbons2010 = [msrOutlookExplorer2010]
        ControlTypes = ...
        Controls_ = <
          item
            Glyph.Data = ...
            Id = 'adxRibbonButton4424E79CA51540E1917FF9263FED3D0B'
            OnClick = adxRibbonTab1Controls0Controls0Click
            Caption = 'adxRibbonButton1'
            Ribbons = [msrOutlookExplorer]
            Ribbons2010 = [msrOutlookExplorer2010]
          end>
      end>
    Id = 'adxRibbonTab6A9572AF51364292A09A68D50F7E0910'
    Left = 128
    Top = 40
    Ribbons = [msrOutlookExplorer]
    Ribbons2010 = [msrOutlookExplorer2010]
  end

Hi Andrei,

This is known to me.
I will send an example by e-mail which will explain maybe more.

Hi Ronald,

Thank you for sending me the project; such things really help.

By setting IdMso = 'TabAppointment', you refer to the Ribbon tab built into the Appointment Inspector. On the other hand, by specifying Context = 'Outlook.TabSetAppointment', you refer to an entity that is built into the Explorer. Those instructions contradict each other and that's why the Ribbon refuses to understand you.

Hi Andrei,

Thanks for your explanation. This is clear now.
My next question will be: How can I add buttons on the "Appointment Tools" Tab?
(The (green) one I see when I click on an appointment) for normal appointments and recurring as well.

Using "Outlook.TabSetAppointment" and "Outlook.TabSetReccurringAppointment" in 2 different TadxRibbonTab controls breaks the ribbon flow.

Greetings

Ronald

Hi Ronald,

My next question will be: How can I add buttons on the "Appointment Tools" Tab?


Please try to do the following:
1. Add a new TadxRibbonTab component to your add-in module;
2. Set the Ribbons property to [msrOutlookExplorer];
3. Set the Context property to Outlook.TabSetAppointment;
4. Set the IdMso to TabAppointment;
5. Populate the Controls property with your controls

I tested the solution in my Outlook 2010 and see that the controls (Group and Button in my case) were added onto the Appointment contextual tab.

Using "Outlook.TabSetAppointment" and "Outlook.TabSetReccurringAppointment" in 2 different TadxRibbonTab controls breaks the ribbon flow.


Yes, you are right, this is a bug in our code. I have just reproduced the issue with 2 contextual ribbon tabs and filed it under #2165 in our bug tracking system.

Hi Andrei,

I found the problem.

1. Create a new Add-in
2. Add 1 TadxRibbonTab (add a button here)
3. Set Context=Outlook.TabSetAppointment
4. Set IdMso=TabAppointment
5. Run Outlook, click on a NON recurring appointment. You will see your button.

( This was suggested in topic:
???Add ribbon group to "Home" tab in the explorer window (Outlook 2010)?? )

Next...

1. Same Add-in
2. Add a second TadxRibbonTab (add a button here)
3. Set Context=Outlook.TabSetReccurringAppointment
4. Set IdMso=TabRecurringAppointment
5. Run Outlook, click on a non- or a recurring appointment. You will see nothing !

Why...

function GetCustomUI in TadxAddin creates the XML file for "tabSet" wrong


-------- start source change (start at line 14999) -----------

FlagTabs := False;
for i := 0 to COMAddInModule.FContextTabs.Count - 1 do begin
if not FlagTabs and IsItemTypeSupported(RibbonID, TadxRibbonTab(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[i]).FRibbons, TadxRibbonTab(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[i]).GetRibbons2010) then begin
FlagTabs := True;
xmlData.WriteStartElement('contextualTabs');
//// xmlData.WriteStartElement('tabSet'); !!!!! Move this line down
end;
if not FlagTabs then Continue;

!!!!! Always create the 'tabset'

xmlData.WriteStartElement('tabSet');

if ContextList.IndexOf(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[i]) = -1 then begin
ContextMSO := TadxRibbonTab(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[i]).Context;
if Pos('.', ContextMSO) > 0 then Delete(ContextMSO, 1, Pos('.', ContextMSO));
xmlData.WriteAttributeString('idMso', ContextMSO);
ProcessChildren(COMAddInModule, xmlData,
IadxRibbonComponent(TadxRibbonTab(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[i])), RibbonID);
for j := i + 1 to COMAddInModule.FContextTabs.Count - 1 do begin
if TadxRibbonTab(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[i]).Context =
TadxRibbonTab(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[j]).Context then
begin
if ContextList.IndexOf(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[j]) = -1 then begin
ProcessChildren(COMAddInModule, xmlData,
IadxRibbonComponent(TadxRibbonTab(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[j])), RibbonID);
ContextList.Add(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[j]);
end;
end;
end;
ContextList.Add(COMAddInModule.FContextTabs[i]);
end;

!!!!! Always ends the 'tabset'

xmlData.WriteEndElement('tabSet');

end;

-------- end source -------


I don't know if this is the right way, but now it works great !!!!
Hope this helps.


Greetings

Ronald

Hi Ronald,

The next Add-in Express build is scheduled for January 2011. I think you can use the sources modified by you without any problems until we publish the update.
