I have an Outlook add-in that handles printing. With previous versions of Outlook it was possible to use AdxBuiltInControl to intercept the Explorer File Print menu command. I have hunted high and low and can find no clues as to how to do a similar intercept on the Backstage view print command.

Is it possible? :?:

Hi Mike,

It is not possible to override built-in commands in the Backstage view. Please see the following MSDN article for details:

MS guys suggest hiding a built-in control and rebuilding it completely with custom commands.

Thanks Dmitry

I'll take a look at hiding it.
