Add-In located in BottomNavigationPane and collapsing the Outlook Navigation Panel

My Outlook Add-In loads in the BottomNavigationPane region. There is a bit of a display issue though when the user collapses the left navigation panel, because Outlook renders the folders in a compact, side-ways list-view, whereas my add-in remains in its original state. It looks a bit ugly because of the inconsistency.

Is there any event that fires when the navigation panel is collapsed / expanded, or anyway of instructing the region that it should behave differently in that context? That would allow me to render my add-in differently so that it looks more appropriate.

Cheers,
Chris

When the Navigation pane collapses, your form should hide. What Add-in Express build are you using? What Outlook version are you using?

Check the ADXNavigationPane* events of the ADXOlFormsManager. Also, the form itself generates the ADXBeforeFormShow, ADXAfterFormShow, and ADXAfterFormHide events.

Hi Andrei,

We're using version 8.1.4350 and Outlook 2013 and 2016. We've actually worked out that it only happens when the screen resolution is at 125 DPI. Does this make any sense?

Cheers,
Chris

Hello Chris,

If you install Add-in Express 8.2, I'll send you the assembly(ies) that fix this issue (among other issues). Otherwise, you can wait for us releasing Add-in Express 8.3; supposedly this will occur early next week.

That would be great Andrei, thank you for the update. I'll just hold off for the official release of 8.3.

Is this still planned for this week?
