Hi!

I am very new to creating plugins for outlook. Is there a way to create a new button on the 'HOME' ribbon in Outlook 2013 that simply creates a new email with a certain subject?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Welcome on board!

You put an ADXRibbonTab component onto the add-in module. Set ADXRibbonTab.Ribbons to OutlookExplorer and ADXRibbonTab.IdMso to the Id of the built-in tab that you need to customize. Add an ADXRibbonGroup to the tab and position the group on the tab by specifying the ID of a built-in ribbon group in the ADXRibbonGroup.InsertAfterIdMso or ADXRibbonGroup.InsertBeforeIdMso property. Note that you cannot customize a built-in ribbon group. Finally, add an ADXRibbonButton to the group and set the button's properties.

To find the IDs of built-in Ribbon controls, see section Referring to Built-in Ribbon Controls in the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.
