hi all. how to add a new group into Message ribbon of mail.compose inspector? what should i do? I use c# and outlook 2007. thank all

You need to add the new group using ribbon XML that's submitted when the
GetCustomUI() callback is fired. You also will need to handle the callbacks
for your ribbon controls.

If you know nothing about this you need to go to the MSDN Office Developer
Web site and download sample applications for either shared or VSTO addins,
whichever you are using, and see how to proceed with your code and XML.

You should also download the XML schemas for the ribbons in Office 2007 from
the same Web site.

hi Ken. thanks for your help. i think i did it. now i want to add new group into tab Message of mail.compose ribbon. what should i do???

The rule is you can create a new group in an existing tab, or create a new
tab, but you can't modify existing groups in an existing tab. So you can do
what you want.

Look at this XML snippet:

ribbon
tabs
tab idMso="TabInsert"
group id="myCustomGroup" insertAfterMso="GroupInclude"
getLabel="Ribbon_getLabel" getVisible="Ribbon_getVisible"

That's the type of XML you have to supply, in this case the XML was for a
new group in the Insert tab.

hi Ken. i have some new problems. i added group into existing tab. On this group, i created a gallery which has its xml structu
gallery id="glrSymbolic" screentip="Select Symbolic" label="Select Symbolic" showImage="false"
item id="__id1" label="%LastName%" /
item id="__id2" label="%FirstName%" /
item id="__id3" label="%UserName%" /
item id="__id4" label="%Email%" /
/gallery
I want whenever i choice a item from gallery, the label will be inserted into position of pointer in current mail compose( assume that i'm composing email at that time ). Can you give me some suggestions? thank you !

Sorry, I've never worked with gallery controls in a ribbon, I can't help
with that. If it were me I'd do some googling on that to find samples I
could review.

hi ken ! i'm sorry to trouble you but i tried my best i hadn't solved my problem yet. i want to insert a text into current position of cursor when i compose mail. although i found many sources by google, i could not figure out what should i do. can you give me some suggestion or related code? i use C# 2008 and Outlook 2007. thank you so much

I told you I've never worked with gallery controls, so I have no information
or insights in working with them at all.

As far as inserting text unless you are using Redemption you more or less
would have to get the HTMLBody and cast it as an IHTMLDocument object and
then use HTML code to work with the document. At that point it's all HTML
coding that would be covered in an HTML group.
