Trigger displaying of ADXOlFormsManager items

Hello guys,

I have a question regarding the Outlook ADXOlFormsManager. What I do is display data in a tree view in the BottomNavigation pane. When I click a node I want to display data in a WebViewPane.

So the question would be: Is it possible to trigger the FormsManager to display the WebViewPane without a "physical" folder change?

Here's what I already tried:
When I click, depending on the node I iterate through the Items of the ADXOlFormsManager instance and enable/disable items. Somehow that doesn't work at the moment.

Thank you very much in advance.

You can display another ADXOlForm in the WebViewPane layout without folder refreshing if the current folder shows any ADXOlForm in the WebViewPane layout.

Thanks so far. I've looked at the example and if I already had a WebViewPane visible this would have been the solution. Unfortunately in our case something else is visible.

1. Does that mean when currently the, say, Inbox is selected and visible that I can't have button for example that makes a WebViewPane visible?

2. Is the showing/hiding of custom panes completely driven by the folder switch?

Thanks for your help.

You can have a button that makes a WebViewPane visible but you need to refresh the folder to make it work. See the following howto:http://www.add-in-express.com/support/addin-c-sharp.php#form-regions

You can not make a WebViewPane without a "physical" folder change.

You cannot manage the custom pane visibility in the FolderSwitch event, you need to use the adxOlFormsManager.ADXBeforeFolderSwitchEx event:

Please see the sample: hhp://www.add-in-express.com/files/projects/adx-x-ol-5-showing_hiding_custom_panes_in_beforefolderswitch_5_5866.zip
