[Donald]

Hi there,

i am try to add a msoControlButtonPopup to my toobar in outlook.

it said on this web page
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/microsoft.office.core.msocontroltype(VS.80).aspx

It can be done but not through the object model so how do you do it?

Thanks

As I read it the page says it cannot be done using the CommandBars object
model and I've never seen anyone do it in any other way.

So how does microsoft do it on there bars??

There are lots of things that are exposed internally for use by MS
programmers that aren't exposed in the Outlook/Office object models.

 

[Donald]

is there any 3rd party tool to expose this?

Thanks

No. You can't add any 3rd party tools to the commandbars either.

Thanks Ken

I don't see the point of why MS have not let any one add this type of
button?

Wait til Office 12. Outlook Object Model exposes more functionality. Until
then you are going to have to try to be creative in your commandbar
representations.

No new functionality for the command bars interface in Outlook 2007, there's
the ribbon but that's only for Inspectors.
