I was wondering if I could use any of the built in AIE objects (either ADXOLForms or custom task panes or something else) for use as a modal dialog. If so, I am wondering how I specifically do so. (building an outlook add-in). It wasn't clear from the documentation.

I was doing some reading and it appeared that the answer was no, but I wanted to be sure. If not, I guess I am relegated to regular ol' .NET windows forms (using C# in my case).

thanks

Hello Murray,

You should not use ADXOLForms for modal dialogs. Use .NET windows forms for this task.

Please see the http://www.add-in-express.com/support/addin-c-sharp.php#form-regions howtos about using ADXOLForms and ADXOlFormsManager combined

Feel free to ask me if you have other questions.
