Is it possible to show a task pane in the inline response view of Outlook?

Hello Bas,

If you mean the inline response itself, you can show an Add-in Express form in a ReadingPane-related region e.g. BottomReadingPane. Use the InlineResponseEx and InlineResponseCloseEx events of the ADXOutlookAppEvents component to identify the moments when the pane should be shown/hidden.

Thanks Andrei!

I found out how to display it in the explorer view.
In the forms collection:
RightReadingPane: RightReadingPane

And also how to display/hide it

Private Sub OutlookEvents_ExplorerInlineResponse(sender As Object, itemObject As Object) Handles OutlookEvents.ExplorerInlineResponse
MyNameOlFormsCollectionItem.GetCurrentForm.Show()
End Sub

Private Sub OutlookEvents_ExplorerInlineResponseCloseEx(sender As Object, sourceObject As Object) Handles OutlookEvents.ExplorerInlineResponseCloseEx
MyNameOlFormsCollectionItem.GetCurrentForm.Hide()
End Sub

Now I only need to figure out how I can hide it when Outlook starts.

In the ADXOlForm.ADXBeforeFormShow event, when the form instance is about to show, set the ADXOlForm.Visible property as required to let the instance show or prevent it from showing.
