Hi,

I need to intrigrate my app with outlook and for this i want to add a new
pane in outlook navigation pane. I have tried add custom bars in other areas
such as menu and standard tool box but i want to add a new pane in navigation
pane, obviously i will develope a form for it later on to be viewed in the
right pane.

Can you please suggest me is it possible or not.
If possible then how should i approach to achieve this.

Thanks in advance

No, it is not possible to add a new pane in the navigation pane by any means.

HI Sue,

I have another question for you in this regard.
I thought it was possible to have, apart from the folder list, inbox and
reading pane, another pane with shortcuts to the left of your screen that you
can keep "up and online" all the time. (So basically spltting up your screen
once more where you keep these shortcuts all the time as a button list).

The problem is that I am working with an integrated MS CRM system in
Outlook, and I want more user-friendliness when someone is working with this
version of CRM. I think that by keeping this shortcut list up, apart from the
regular folder list, would help. Can you help me out?

Thank you!

Not in Outlook 2003. The Outlook Bar and its shortcuts migrated to the Shortcuts navigation pane.

For your scenario, I'd recommend a custom toolbar.

Your best on how this can be done is to take a look at the CRM Integration
code at: http://devhawk.net/2006/01/10/Outloo...on+Sample.aspx or
download the code at
:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

This group of code helped me out tremendously! Although this code group is
wrapped around the VSTO 2005 code block. It is not that hard to integrate
with VS2003/.NET1.1 and VS2005/.NET2.0 Shared Add-ins. Take at look at Eric
Carter's book on VSTO in Chapter 24 about creating shimmed shared addins
with either VSTO or regular COM code.

Thaddaeus
