Dear support-team,

i designed an Outlook add-in for 2007 - 2013. I use adxRibbonContextMenu, adxRibbonTag, adxContextMenu and adxOlExplorerMainMenu. If i use only the first three Modules, all is fine. If i add adxOlExplorerMainMenu with an adxCommandBarPopup and two Buttons, in Outlook2007 i have no problems, but in 2010 and 2013 it shows the adxRibbonTab and the adxOlExplorerMainMenu as Tab.

What do i wrong?

Hello Ernst,

ADXOlExplorerMainMenu creates main menu elements in the CommandBar UI of the Outlook Explorer windiw in Outlook 2000-2007. In Outlook 2010 and above, Office converts such elements to the corresponding Ribbon elements.

You can check ADXAddinModule.HostMajor version in the AddinInitialize event of the add-in module. If the host version is 14 or above, you can delete the ADXOlExplorerMainMenu from the add-in module. Instead, you can use Ribbon components.
