Hello,

I am using adxCommandBarAdvancedControl (adxCBAC) to place .NET ComboBox controls on an Inspector Bar.
I have manged to successfully set that up, control all the properties. However, when at runtime I want to modify or access the DataSource property of the ComboBox, I run into difficulties.

For example:
I have a .NET Combo Box I named cmbAccount and an instance of adxCBAC named adxAccount.
I find that adxAccount.Control and cmbAccount are not equal to eachother.
Further, when accessed in the cmbAccount.DropDown event, the sender property is also not equal to either of the three. How can I access the DataSource for my combobox reliably from any event/function?

using: ADX.NET 3.02, OL2002, C#2005

TIA,

Alex

Hi Alex,

See the adxAccount.ActiveInstance property. Also, please have a look at the OutlookAddInCS demo project (<Add-in Express Installation folder>\Demo Projects\VS.NET 2005\Toolbar Controls .NET for Microsoft Office\OutlookAddInCS\OutlookAddInCS.sln).

P.S. Note that we take up your forum requests in the order we receive them.
