How do you get access to the OutlookApp object from inside a usercontrol. I'm trying to get access to the current item from a taskpane in Outlook.

Hi Jon.

You can use the following code to access the addinmodule:
(AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.CurrentInstance as AddinModule).OutlookApp

Thanks! When I add in the 2 line below:

Outlook.Inspector ins = (AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.CurrentInstance as AddinModule).OutlookApp.ActiveInspector();

Outlook.MailItem m = ins.CurrentItem as Outlook.MailItem;

I get the exception:

Looks to be set correctly. It's the name of the user control (the only option in the drop down). If I comment out the 2 lines above everything runs fine. I appreciate all your help.
