Hi,

I am stuck in a place, Actually i am trying to show button on outlook mail's (home) tab and same button on calendar's (home) tab.

I am successfully done with showing my button in Outlook home tab with using (idMso : TabMail and Ribbons : OutlookExplorer ). But when i add that same button (copy/pasting ADXRibbonTab in designer) and change the idMso to TabCalendar and Ribbons to OutlookExplorer it shows nothing, and also ribbon button for home tab also get vanished.

Thanks to you if you please do a little help :)

To achieve this you need to use two ADXRibbonTab components: 1) Ribbons=OutlookExplorer, IdMso=TabMail, 2)Ribbons=OutlookExplorer, IdMso=TabCalendar.

Hi Andrei,

Yes. We have created two tab components and when we do this none of the ribbon buttons are shown. When I remove the property Ribbons=OutlookExplorer from one of the adxRibbonTabs, it is shown on the other. What am I doing wrong?

Hello Kristian,

Please check this code:
