Hi, I added a RibbonContextMenu to my addin for Outlook in mail Explorer following your https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2012/10/22/customize-outlook-menu-bar-context-menus/.
So when I right-click on a mail in the mailbox, I see my new menu element in the context menu.

Then i added a method for on-click event to the menu button.
This method has this definition (auto-generated): 

private void onClickMethod(object sender, IRibbonControl control, bool pressed)


Here I need to get the mail item that i've activated. There is a way to get it from the parameters?

thanks in advance

I use C# on Visual Studio 2010
