InlineResponse and ProcessAttachmentAdd
Getting event when attachment is added/removed to/from email

Is there a way to access attachments that are added to mail in InlineResponse?

Connecting to mail item events like ProcessAttachmentAdd etc does not work. If InlineResponse mode is disabled it works as expected. But with InlineResponse mode events are not fired.

Moreover, trying to access GetInspector from mail is causing InlineResponse to behave unpredictably - basically next time you will move to email it will not load draft, ie. when you editing email and then moving to another one and coming back to this one.

Any help will be appreciated!

Hello Jakub (correct?),

Call Explorer.ActiveInlineResponse to get the item to connect to.

ok, i was able to do this by: 


private void OnOutlookExplroerInlineResponse(object sender, object itemObject)
{
    var explorer = this.OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer();
    var inlineRes = explorer.GetType()
        .InvokeMember("ActiveInlineResponse"
            , System.Reflection.BindingFlags.GetProperty
                | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance
                | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public
            , null
            , explorer
            , null) as MailItem;

    if (inlineRes != null)
    {
        inlineRes.AttachmentAdd += (attachment) =>
        {
            //
        };

        inlineRes.AttachmentRemove += (attachment) =>
        {
            //
        };
    }
        

    //

}


but is there any other option to do it? now i have events wired to item that will probably leak.

Detach from the events in the InlineResponseClose event.

Note that in the code you provided, the events will be disconnected as soon as the GC collects unused objects and var inlineRes among them. To avoid this, declare it on the class level.
