Hi Guys,

i try to add some context menues. In my solution there is already a context menu for mailitems.

Code in desiner looks like:

this.m_RibbonContextMenu.ContextMenuNames.AddRange(new string[] {
"Outlook.Explorer.ContextMenuMailItem",
"Outlook.Explorer.ContextMenuMultipleItems"});
this.m_RibbonContextMenu.Controls.Add(this.mr_popupContextMenu);
this.m_RibbonContextMenu.Ribbons = AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons.msrOutlookExplorer;

It is activated for Explorer and MailItem.

Now i want to add a second ContextMenu - this time for Attachments. But, as soon as i enable the second contextmenu also for Explorer, all menues are gone:

this.m_RibbonAttachmentContextMenu.ContextMenuNames.AddRange(new string[] {
"Outlook.Mail.Read.ContextMenuAttachments",
"Outlook.Explorer.ContextMenuAttachments"});
this.m_RibbonAttachmentContextMenu.Controls.Add(this.mr_popupAttachmentContextMenu);
this.m_RibbonAttachmentContextMenu.Ribbons = ((AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons)(((AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons.msrOutlookMailRead | AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons.msrOutlookMailCompose)
| AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons.msrOutlookExplorer)));

If i remove AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons.msrOutlookExplorer, then all menues show up - but here i want a second context which is available for attachments.

As soon as i check AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons.msrOutlookExplorer - all my menues and bars are gone?

Sorry Guys - solved that. I had two RibbonButtons with the same ID - that made all bars disappear - some exception or dubplicate check would help to find that issue sooner! ;)
