Hi Ole Andreas.

I have a little example that shows on how you can prevent the custom Outlook menu from appearing in Word when Word is used as an editor in Outlook. You can download it here:

Hi Sergey,

Thanks a lot for the example. I found this on the website about a week ago, and while I do program in VB.Net exclusively, I do think I managed to sort out the CSharp-code. I also found the "wordinoutlookissue" zip-file -- what exactly is meant to be the difference between these two? (It's late and my logic fails me...)

Best regards,
//Ole Andreas

Hi Ole Andreas.

These examples are different.
The 'wordinoutlookissue' example shows how you can prevent the 'Word Bar' toolbar from appearing in Outlook inspector if Word is used as an editor.

For some reason I don't have this issue on my PC even though the 'Windows in Taskbar' option is checked. Probably there is something else in Word that causes the issue. I will investigate it and will let you know about results soon.

I went into the same problem :)
If I have HandleShortcuts set to True im my add in, I receive mentioned issue.
This occurs only if I have "windows in taskbar" turned on.

Bingo! Ryszard, you nailed it...

Loaded up an old version of my add-in which uses buttons on custom toolbars in Word, and set HandleShortcuts to False. Loaded up several documents (with "Windows in Taskbar" turned on), as well as also opening up a new email in Outlook (using Word as the email editor), and voila! No jumping or flickering or whatever in any of the windows. The toolbar is just sitting there nicely... As it should. :-)

Guess I'll have to live without the shortcut, but that's a minuscule sacrifice to make in order to have the toolbars functioning properly.

Many thanks!
