Re: IRibbonExtensibility and Exchange Client Addin

Thanks SvenC.
I did implement COM Addin stuff in my dll.
But what do you mean by "register the COM Addin registry keys".
and how do you do that?
I must mention that my DLL in which ECE and IRibbonExtensibility are
implemented is registered. Do you mean to say that I should register
IRibbonExtensibility interface separately?
Is it something related to regsrv32? If yes how?
Kindly let me know in a bit detail.

Hi Devansh,

According to what Dmitry has said in one of his posts that we can add
IRibbonExtensibility support in our Exchange Client Extension, so I
did that.
The statement made by Dmitry is as follows, kindly let me know in case
I have wrongly interpreted it,
"Outlook will only QI for IRibbonExtensibility if your class is a COM
add-in.
Nothing however prevents you from implementing a COM add-in in the
same dll
or even the same class as your ECE."

But you also need to implement the COM Addin stuff in your dll and
register the COM Addin registry keys.
If you just interface implementations the Office apps will not know that
you also implement a COM Addin.
Your extension class which implements the IExchxxx interfaces will
never be QI'ed for COM addin interfaces.
