VS 2010 Add Ribbon/toolbar In Outlook 2007?
May 8, 2012I am using VB.Net (.Net 4) and Outlook 2007 (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook) to send mass emails to clients on a monthly basis and the text is pre-defined into a HTML file which is parsed.Since there are chances of errors, we are putting it as outlook templates. But we need to put some special tags in the body, for which I want to put a button in the main ribbon of the "MailItem" object (see attached image).I have managed to put the buttons in the "add-ins" menu but I want it right there in the front area.
View 2 RepliesRetaining Alpha Channel On Buttons In Outlook Toolbar
Aug 28, 2009I am developing a COM Add-in using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008 Pro for Outlook 2003 and am having trouble assigning images to custom toolbar buttons. In a nutshell, I am having to convert from an Icon type to a stdole.IPictureDisp type so that I can assign my buttons a picture. The picture displays, but it loses the Alpha channel and the background is no longer transparent. I can verify that before the conversion to IPictureDisp object, that the PixelFormat property is set to Format32bppArgb (2498570). I am using a coding technique suggested here:[URL]. For C# users, this link [URL] shows how to modify the IPictureDisp one pixel at a time and rebuild the transparency, but I can't find similar functions in VB.NET...

View 6 RepliesPosition To Item On Custom Toolbar Without Mouse
Jul 30, 2010I created an add-in that creates a custom toolbar for MS Project. This appears as "Add-In" on a tab after "File" and under the Add-In tab is a custom toolbar.The toolbar that has 9 items, each runs a specific macro. This works great using the mouse.The problem now is that I must make it usable to a blind person who cannot use a mouse. How do I position to the first menu item (without mouse) when opened and use the TabKey to move thru the 9 items and allow selection by hitting Enter.
View 16 RepliesOrganize Projects Custom Controls In Toolbar As Well As Data Sources Panel?
Jan 31, 2010I have a project with 150 (i counted) Items in the "MainProject Components" area of the toolbox panel.These 150 classes are mostly database related objects like table adapters, and datasets that i hardly ever use. I also have about 10 custom classes that i use often.When i need to access the toolbox, I have two issues that i would like to resolve.
1.How do i organize the toolbox to separate my custom controls from the table adapters and datasets?
a.I have created a custom tab within the toolbox.
b.I have dragged and dropped my controls into this new area.
c.All is well until I exit my program and re-open it. Voila they're all back in the MainProject Components" tab.
2.How do I force the IDE to instantiate the toolbox panel as completely collapsed?

View 1 RepliesPrinting Listview Contents From Toolbar Button?
Jun 25, 2008I am trying to print the contents of a listview to paper from a toolbar button. In the code below I can get the printer to function and print but cannot get the listview contents to print. I found an old post by Martyr discussing printing listview contents in debugger that was helpful but have not been able to figure out what part of the code to modify for the print sub to recognize the listview contents in the handler. This is what I have so far:
Private Sub PrintToolStripButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintToolStripButton.Click
Dim prn As New Printing.PrintDocument
[Code].....
The printer portion of the code that runs on the strip button works without any problems. If I use that button click code above and add something to the PrintHandler Sub like this:
args.Graphics.DrawString("Hello World With A Printer", New Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 150, 125)
It prints the "Hello World String" with no problem. The issue is I am not sure what or how to refer to the contents of the listview in the Print Handler Sub or if this is even the correct way to attempt this.
VS 2008 : Creating Toolbar Button Images?
Oct 31, 2009I have been learning VB2008 and have been working a little with the toolstrip. While this question isn't really urgent, I've been thinking down the road about images and image libraries that I would like to build and use in my programs. I am thinking I should set up my own library so that all programs I write will have the same look (at least as often as I want them to).
1) What does everyone use to create images? What programs, features, etc. are important? Eg. I have MSPaint and and old version of CorelDraw but have never really used them to high quality stuff.
2) Are people just using the images provided in VB2008 Pro?
3) What should I consider when working with images for use in Windows Forms programming? Currently I am not doing any web work.

Api - Making A Thumbnail Toolbar (windowsAPICodePack,windows 7) Button Invisible?
Nov 1, 2009I'm trying to make a thumbnail toolbar button (TTB from now on)visible when the it is clicked. I know how to do stuff when it is clicked, AddHandler etc. But if I tell it TTB.visible=false then it doesn't become invisible. If I put TTB.enabled = False it will be disabled, so it's only the visible that isn't working.
Also I put a button on my form (not a TTB) and when that is click wrote, TTB.visible = false and that didn't work, so there is no way to make it invisible.
Toolbar Click Event Firing Twice When User Double Clicks Button?
Jul 12, 2010I have a problem with a Save button on a toolbar firing the click event twice if the user double clicks the button as opposed to single clicking.Disabling the double click on the toolbar itself seems to make no difference as it is the actual save button that is being clicked twice.I have tried setting a Boolean to stop the event firing twice but it is just too quick!I didn't have this problem with my code before as the server call was not async... and reverting back is not really an option.
My code is as follows:

As Object,
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs)

Outlook Context Menu (add-in) Button Fires Multiple Times Per One Click?
Mar 5, 2010So I've got this context menu working out except that the event behind the actual selection of the menu item seems to fire multiple times. First time I click it, it fires once, then twice, then 3 times. So, in the example I just gave, for 3 clicks it would have fired a total of 6 times (1 + 2 + 3). Why is that?
Below is my code on how I'm creating the menu items. I stripped it down to the relevant pieces; I omitted things like .Tag, .Visible, and .Caption properties. I'm building this using .NET 3.5 and VS 2008.

VS 2008 Reading Outlook And Outlook Express Data?

Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?
