I am attempting to handle a before print event in outlook 2007, so I can ensure that there are no undesired printable user properties.

I am able to intercept the print command from the main File menu (not inspector) via the TadxBuiltInControl component, setting the BuiltInID to 4 and handling the OnActionEx event.

However I need to also intercept printing from the inspector window. I believe this can be done by using a TadxRibbonCommand component and setting the IdMso to "FilePrint" and handling the OnAction event. I am not able to get this to work however. When I click the Print button, nothing happens. I have a breakpoint in the OnAction event which does not get hit, but also the print does not happen either.

I've also tried this with the "Delete" command with the same result. I've tried starting a new add-in with only this functionality and disabling my old add-in.

Am I missing something?

Hi Matt,

This is a bug. I have just reproduced the issue you described and filed it under #2160 in our bug tracking system.

At the moment I can suggest the following workaround: add another TadxRibbonCommand component to your add-in module, set its IdMso to "FilePrint" but do not handle the OnAction event. Then your first TadxRibbonCommand component should work.
