Hi!
I need to create adxCommandBarPopup with adxCommandBarDropDownList's in adxInspectorCommandBar. It works fine for HTML-editor as e-mail-editor, but in mode when Word is e-mail editor, my Popup doesn't show DropDownLists. Is it a bag?

That's why I'm trying to use ADXCommandBarAdvancedControl with standard .Net menustrip with comboboxes, but I have the same problem. Menu doesn't appear. May be somebody can help, what to do. I really need dropdownlists working well in WORD-editor mode.

Thanks in advance,
Denis

Hi Denis,

This is a "feature" of WordMail. You can study the following sample project that bypasses that feature by hiding Outlook command bars in Word and Word command bars in Outlook, see http://www.add-in-express.com/files/projects_pub/hidewdandolcommandbars.zip.

I've registered the project and in the moment of opening new Inspector with Word as e-mail editor, I've got next error:

The loader can't load the following assembly:
'HideWordAndOutlookCommandBars, PublicKeyToken=BF778A9A205B2B1C'. The operation fails with HRESULT = -2146232576'.

How to fix this issue?

Note:

1. When I've opened the project, I've converted it for Visual Studio 2008.
2. AddinExpress.MSO.2005.dll was not loaded to References right, that's why I've deleted it and added another one with the same name from Add-in Express 2009 for Office and .NET, Standard package. Then project rebuilded well.

Thanks in advance,
Denis

Hi Denis,

Try replacing Loader\adxloader.dll in that project with {Add-in Express}\Redistributables\adxloader.dll and re-registering the project.

I need to show my toolbar in Outlook Inspector in case, when Word is e-mail editor. It doesn't displays in this case. In case with HTML editor as e-mail editor everything ok. I've research given by you project and got that, there are imlemented two cases: for Microsoft Outlook and for Microsoft Word. Which one from them I need to implement in my Outlook project?

I have four components on the main Add-in module in your project: adxWdCommandBar, adxOlInspectorCommandBar1, adxWordEvents, adxOutlookEvents. Can I remove adxWdCommandBar and adxWordEvents for implementing functionality described above for Outlook?

How hiding of command bars is connected with my case, when I want properly display my Command Bar in Inspector, when Word is e-mail editor?

Hi Denis,

If Word is set as the default e-mail editor in Outlook 2003 and earlier, Outlook starts a new (or use an existing) Word process when you create a new e-mail. The Word process is a normal Word process in all respects including command bars. The issue occurs because Outlook allows customizing Word command bars in this case. This is why showing an Outlook inspector command bar makes it also visible in Word. The workaround suggested by this sample is to support both Word and Outlook in your add-in:
- you use windowActivate to hide Outlook inspector command bars when the add-in is loaded by Word and...
- you use InspectorActivate to hide Word command bars when the add-in is loaded by Outlook

Does this help?

Hi, Andrei,

As I got I have to leave in my project for Outlook 2003 and earlier versions both command bars for Outlook and Word. And then work in direction to display only required toolbar in Outlook Inspector(Word editor mode).

If I've understood right, big thanks for help, Andrei.

I've implemented working with both toolbars(for Outlook and Word) in my project. Now I have next issue: toolbar appears in inspector of Outlook 2003 and here everything is ok, but disappears in 2000 and 2002 versions.

With what it can be connected?
