Re: How to add button on Mail editor which is not outlook.??

Hi Ken,

I've found the solution, but have an issue. I'm unable to see my image in my
custom command bar. Any thoughts. I'm able to see the mso images only.

Thanks & Regards

If you are trying to add UI to an Outlook 2007 Inspector you have 2 options.

First, you can just do what you are doing and let the CommandBars UI get
stuffed in the Add-Ins tab, where each button you create would be displayed
as a ribbon control.

The alternative is to actually code to the ribbon for your UI if the Outlook
version is 12.

To do that while still using references to the Office and Outlook 2003 or
earlier tlb's you would need an extraction of the interfaces for the ribbon
from the Office 2007 tlb and to reference that ribbon tlb for your ribbon
work. The Implementation of the ribbon interface would have to be placed in
the same class as the one that handles the IDTExtensibility2 interface and
your ribbon callbacks would be in that class also.

Of course you'd need to create the ribbon UI using XML as usual and supply
any ribbon images using IPictureDisp as usual, etc. Dennis Wallentin
(XL-Dennis) has an extraction of the ribbon interface from the Office 2007
tlb already so you'd just need to download that and work with that as your
ribbon reference. Take a look at his articles starting at
