Hi,


How can I create a bunch of controls and add the same controls to the first tab of both Word and Outlook. The IdMso for Word is "TabHome" and Outlook uses "TabMail".

In InitializeComponent the CurrentInstance.HostType is Nothing and after InitializeComponent something like below dosent seem to work.

Me.AdxRibbonTab1.IdMso = IIf(CurrentInstance.HostType = AddinExpress.MSO.ADXOfficeHostApp.ohaOutlook, "TabMail", "TabHome")

Hi Mads,

The HostType property is not initialized when the InitializeComponent method is being executed. I would suggest that you move this code line to the OnRibbonBeforeCreate event handler.
