Hi,

I am having a problem with CommandBarComboBox's Change Event. I have added
a toolbar in New Email Item Inspector. It shows few CommandBarButton and one
Combo box. On ComboBox Change event, I have to set a custom HTML Contents
for the current mail item body.

My problem is that everything works perfect for the first time. I got
Combo Box. On Selecting an item I got body changed to what I desire. However
it doesn't fire Change Event on next selection. I want to make it change
body whenever user changes selection in the Combo Box. Here is the Code as
how I added this ComboBox,

Private Sub templateComboBox_Change(ByVal Ctrl As
Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarComboBox) Handles templateComboBox.Change

Try

Me.m_olMailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body><b>" + Ctrl.Text +
"</b></body></html>"

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub


There comes no exception and it works fine for first selection. On second
or later selections there is neither any change in the body nor any
exception came out. Please help me to understand whats wrong with it.

Thanks,

Khalid
