I have a set of forms of type ADXOlForm that are included in a project completely seperate from the AddinModule for Outlook 2007. What I need to do is programmatically add one of those forms to a FormManager in the AddinModule. I can get this to work with forms that exist within the same project as the AddinModule but not from forms that exist within a reference. Below is what I am trying but it returns an error that the "VRO360Forms.CallReportForm" form has not been created:
-----------------
AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsCollectionItem newForm = new AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsCollectionItem();

newForm.InspectorItemTypes = AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlInspectorItemTypes.olTask;

newForm.InspectorLayout = AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlInspectorLayout.BottomSubpane;
newForm.FormClassName = "VRO360Forms.CallReportForm";
newForm.Splitter = AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlSplitterBehavior.None;

formManager.Items.Add(newForm);
-----------------
Is there something I must do to register the form so that the FormManager will recognize it?

Is VRO360Forms.CallReportForm inherited from AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlForm?

Yes. The exact same form copied into the project along with the AddinModule works perfectly.

Christian,

The point is: an ADXOlForm is created in the following way FormsManager.CallingAssembly.CreateInstance(AssemblyFormClassName);
That is, your form must be placed in the same assembly with ADXOlFormsManager.
