VS 2008 or VSTO 2005 SE? If 2008, did you create the region in the designer or import an .ofs file?

To create a new instance of a custom form programmatically, use the Add method on the target folder's Items collection:

* * newItem = targetFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Appointment.MS Event")
* * newItem.Display

If the target is a default folder, you can use the Namespace.GetDefaultFolder method to return it as a Folder object.

I have created a form region from a IPM.Appointment item and have my

on the item I saved the fields on the form region are not populated.
I have this built within a VSTO addin and I can catch the
FormRegion_FormRegionClosed(..) event.. should I be saving the content
of this form region or should Outlook be saving the content? *Does
anyone have a code example?

Also - I would like to put a "MS Event" commandbar on the content menu
when a user right clicks on the calendar - I have a commandbar
included there, however don't know what to put in the event handler to
make the new form region to appear...anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks for your time.

Hey Sue -

I used VS 2008 and I did create the region in the designer?

How can I get a hook to the FormRegion.cs object from the ThisAddin
class? Also... when a user selects the "Save" on the ribbon of the
FormRegion can I catch this event in my addin?
I can create a new appointment item on the fly if I can catch the save
event and the use UserProperties to save fields that are not really in
the IPM.Appointment object and save them to the MS Event folder if I
can catch the "Save" event that fires when a user selects the "Save"
on the ribbon of the FormRegion... just thinking out loud.

Thanks so much for your time.
