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 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..

The following works well:

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

and I hooked this up to my "New MS Event" on the right click content
menu.

However, when I select the "Save" on the ribbon for this item is never
saved to the calendar. When I select the "New MS Event" from the
Actions menu, the item gets saved to the calendar. Have I missed
something here...or is it another one of those Outlook dark secret
things
