I often get this message "error found in custom ui xml", because I have "Show add-in user interface errors" checked.

Any pointers on how I can remove this error?

Hi TeaMaster,

Typically it indicates that something is wrong with your Ribbon UI markup. Probably you used a wrong IdMso identifier. Please check out the Ribbon controls in your add-in.

could it come from the Id itself? instead of the IdMso?

All the tabs do show up, so they must be right? right?

the error does say "failed to find office control by id".

thx for your time.

Hi TeaMaster,

Are you able to reproduce the issue with a newly created add-in project? If so, could you please send it to the support e-mail address (see readme.txt for details)? I will test it on my PC.

I found the cause: it was coming from the ribbons parameters for adxRibbon set to "OutlookMailRead;OutlookMailCompose;OutlookExplorer"

I changed it to "OutlookExplorer" alone and it's working.

My question is: aren't those needed for 2007?

I'm running outlook 2010 right now.

Hi TeaMaster,

Outlook 2007 doesn't use Ribbon UI for its explorer windows. That is why you got such error message.
