Hi Guys,

I need access to Outlook public folders, and sometimes when offline or for other reasons they may not be available.

Is there a global way to stop the add-in loading if stuff I need is missing. So for example if when I am going through the initialization tests for my app i find that I don't have access to something important?

I have lots of objects (forms, events being tracked etc) and if there is a way to just unload the app this time that would be handy - rather than having to stop each item when it tries to start. (Next time Outlook starts it may be Online so the apps should run as normal)

Hi David,

Please have a look at the http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=5954&MID=29408#message29408 forum thread. It states:

Unfortunately you can't disable the add-in on the fly. Instead you can disable or remove the UI and logic of the add-in.


To achieve this, you can remove all components from the add-in module (and unsubscribe from its events) in two events of the add-in module:
- OnRibbonBeforeCreate; it's the first event that occurs if your add-in is loaded by a Ribbon-enabled Office application
- AddinInitialize; it's the first event that occurs if your add-in is loaded by a nonRibboned Office application.
