Hi,

Is it possible to add items to this context menu, which appears when you are reading a received mail item and right-click on some text in the email? I can't find it in the ContextMenuNames collection for an ADXRibbonContextMenu.

thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Andrei,

Those are the instructions I am following, I just can't find that context menu in the list of available options.

thanks,

Jeremy,

You need to have OutlookMailRead on the Ribbons property of the ADXRibbonContextMenu component.

My fault. I should have recognized the request a bit earlier. In the current version you need to add it programmatically. 

        public AddinModule()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            InitializeComponent();

            this.adxRibbonContextMenu1.ContextMenuNames.AddRange(new string[] {
            "Outlook.Mail.Read.ContextMenuReadOnlyMailText",
            "Outlook.Explorer.ContextMenuReadOnlyMailText"});
            
           // Please add any initialization code to the AddinInitialize event handler
        }

No problem Andrei. You wouldn't have this in VB.net as well please?

Thanks,

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()

        Application.EnableVisualStyles()

        'This call is required by the Component Designer
        InitializeComponent()

        Me.AdxRibbonContextMenu1.ContextMenuNames.AddRange(New String() {"Outlook.Mail.Read.ContextMenuReadOnlyMailText", "Outlook.Explorer.ContextMenuReadOnlyMailText"})

        'Please add any initialization code to the AddinInitialize event handler

    End Sub
