Hi

I have an adxOlInspectorCommandBar with an ADXCommandBarPopup that have some predefined items (ADXCommandBarPopup) and each of these ADXCommandBarPopup's will during execution dynamically have some ADXCommandBarButton's added.

My problem is that the ADXCommandBarButton's I add via code is not shown unless my outlook e-mail window looses and gets focus again.

I need a way to refresh the objects without "leaving" my e-mail. 


MyCommandBarPopup
   CommandBarPopup_1 -> dynamically added CommandBarButton_A
                     -> dynamically added CommandBarButton_B
                     -> dynamically added CommandBarButton_C
   CommandBarPopup_2
   CommandBarPopup_3
   CommandBarPopup_4


Can anyone help me with this.

Best regards

Hello Benn,

I wonder in what way you add the buttons. Please check this sample project:

Also, are you talking about the built-in Outlook 2003 inspector or WordMail inspector?

Hi Andrei

I'm using the Outlook2003 inspector.

This is how I add a new ADXCommandBarButton to the ADXCommandBarPopup 


ADXCommandBarPopup popup = new myADXCommandBarPopup();

ADXCommandBarButton newCmdButton = new ADXCommandBarButton( this.components );

popup.Controls.Capacity = popup.Controls.Count + 1;

newCmdButton.Caption = "Some text";
newCmdButton.ControlTag = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
newCmdButton.ImageTransparentColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
newCmdButton.Temporary = true;

popup.Controls.Add( newCmdButton );


Should I use the ADXBaseControlCollection insted?


Best regards

Hi Andrei

I have changed my code to use ADXBaseControlCollection as in your sample and it works fine. No problems in showing the changed contents of the popup's.


Thanks.

Best regards
