Get adxOlFormsCollectionItem1 object in an OutlookItemEvents class
How to get an adxOlFormsCollectionItem1 object in an OutlookItemEvents class

The code
AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlForm myOlForm;
myOlForm = adxOlFormsCollectionItem1.GetCurrentForm(AddinExpress.OL.EmbeddedFormStates.Active);
works fine in the AddinModule class.

But I want to use it in an OutlookItemEvents class to update data on a region form.

VS say that "The name adxOlFormsCollectionItem1 does not exist in current context".
I need get an object, but how to do that?

I have searched/googled, but until now not found a solution.

regards Jock

Hi Jock,

In the AddinModule designer, you need to make adxOlFormsCollectionItem1 internal instead of private - choose it in the Properties window and change the Modifiers property. Then, in your OutlookItemEvents class, you can use the CurrentInstance property of the AddinModule as follows: 

AddinModule.CurrentInstance.adxOlFormsCollectionItem1.GetCurrentForm(AddinExpress.OL.EmbeddedFormStates.Active);

Thanks, that worked.

IN VS I get green sqickels saying GetCurrentForm with parameter is obsolete.

Instead I use:
AddinModule.CurrentInstance.adxOlFormsCollectionItem1.GetCurrentForm();

Hi Jock,

Thank you for keeping us informed.

Instead I use: AddinModule.CurrentInstance.adxOlFormsCollectionItem1.GetCurrentForm();


Everything is correct, you can use this method without parameters.
