outlook - referencing menu items (without using strings)

[hb]

IS THERE AN ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE REFERENCE TO THESE
SHORTCUTS? WITHOUT USING STRINGS (which gets translated
depending on the internationalization?)


The problem - in details:
Actully i'm working on an addin in o2k. Hardly but i've
managed to figure out the most thing i need. Now i have
problems with accessing the menu...

I want to get an event when user select save-as in the
inspector! The next code works fine until i'm using an
English version of outlook2k:
Set o = Application.ActiveInspector.CommandBars("Menu
Bar").Controls("File").Controls("Save &As...")

But this code is not working in the czeh version... The
reason is that in czeh the "Save &as" is replaceed with
the string "Ulozit ako".

Thanx in forward...

Get the Id's of the menu items you are interested, you can write a
simple loop that goes through them all and shows them using
Debug.Print or save them to a text file. Then use the Id's to get and
instantiate your menu item object references.

The alternative would be to use a resource file with strings for each
language you intend to support and then after checking the local
language settings loading the appropriate language specific strings to
reference the menu items.
