Showing a Region in a reading pane
Wondering about Regions in a Reading pane...

I have a fully working Add-In Express Region component implemented in email forms. Works nicely but I come to realize during QA that it does not appear in a reading pane as some people chose to reply in the reading pane instead of using pop-out. How can I have a Region appear in a reading pane. I want to avoid creating multiple Regions if possible.

Hello Simon,

Create two ADXOlFromsCollectionItem objects; one is showing the pane in an inspector window, the other shows the same pane in the Reading Pane. Say, You can set ADXOlFromsCollectionItem.ExplorerLayout=RightReadingPane.

In the ADXOlFormsManager.OnInitialize event, you check the registry value mentioned at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/fe7d9a71-a671-44cd-9677-217f7cb1294a/open-replies-and-forwards-in-a-new-window?forum=outlook. Depending on this value, you disable the first or the second ADXOlFromsCollectionItem.

I'm trying to add a region with controls in the green area in this image. http://postimg.org/image/dxt2xvqil

I'm just not finding a combination of Region configuration that works.

Is it possible to add buttons, text and other controls in the green area ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Simon,

It seems you look for InspectorLayout=Topsubpane. Is this so?
