Re: Outlook Forms-Addin like "ActiveX"?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Outlook custom forms can use ActiveX controls, so that's what you'd have to compile.

Be aware that many ActiveX controls don't work in Outlook forms and there's no way to tell if yours will until you try it. Also, many times all of the events, properties and methods of an ActiveX control won't work even if the control works to a degree and doesn't crash Outlook. Again, the only way to find out what works and what doesn't is by testing.

Hello,

I would like to write an Add-In, which I can import in an custom outlook
form like an activeX-Object. I have found many websites with information how
to reach fields in a custom form from an Add-In but I couldn't find any
information about how to import a whole user control written in C# in the
custom form.

Is there a possibility?

Thanks.
