Hi ,

I am using ADD-IN FORM in vs 2008 with Outlook 2010,2007 . But I am facing some problems:

1) I don't want to create instances for each outlook folders , I want create in only in one
specific folder like :"Advance-->Inbox".

2) using multipule instances of the Add-in form , I am not able to use keyboard
(Left-Right arrow keys) properly . as I am able to capturing the keys
(Left-Right) through Addmod.cs file from "Keycode" event , and I increasing/decreasing the value of variables based on keys value(Left-Right), but due to the multipule instances of the single form , variables value is being share with all other instances of the form and some time doesnot give correct output. So I need to craete only one instance of the form in one specific folder like: "Inbox->Advance".


Please healp me.




Thanks,
Ashish.

Hi Ashish,

It looks like you need to set up the Cached property of the AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsCollectionItem class. How did you configure an instance of the ADXOlFormsCollectionItem class for the form?

BTW What version and build number of Add-in Express do you use?

Hello Ashish,

To create an ADXOlForm for a particular folder, please set the FolderName property.
This property should contain the full folder path. For example: "Personal Folders\Indox".
If you use the FolderName property, you need to clear the ExplorerItemTypes property, otherwise the ADXOlForm will show up in a context specified by ExplorerItemTypes too.

Please note all context-sensitive properties (FolderName, FolderNames, ExplorerItemTypes, ExplorerMessageClass) are calculated using Boolean OR, not AND.

You can initialize the FolderName property in the
ADXOlFormsManager.OnInitialize event in the following way: 

private void adxOlFormsManager1_OnInitialize()
{
   Outlook.NameSpace ns = OutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
   Outlook.MAPIFolder f = ns.GetDefaultFolder(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
   if (f != null)
   {
       adxOlFormsCollectionItem1.FolderName = f.FolderPath; 
   }
   Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ns);
   Marshal.ReleaseComObject(f);
}


Please see the http://www.add-in-express.com/files/projects/adx-x-ol-6-cs-forum_5_9079.zip

Please let me know if you have other questions.
