Default Customize the user properties dialog in Outlook 2007

Hi fellows,
I want to customize the dialog box that appears when you double click
any entry in the address box dialog in outlook 2007. I searched the
web with many saerch keys but no luck.

The dialog box seems to show the properties of an ExchangeUser object.

If anyone has Windows Live Messenger installed he will find the
Actions button customized with 2 new items in the drop down action
list.

I think VSTO is the best way to go but I do not know where to start

Appreciate any hints

Thanks

You cannot customize the display of the Outlook address book.

Default Customize the user properties dialog in Outlook 2007

Hi,

If "the dialog box" is a contact form, then you can customize it in two
ways: you can customize its Ribbon UI and/or you can embed a custom .NET
form into the Contact Inspector window. The latter functionslity is provided
by Add-in Express 2007 for .NET and Add-in Express 2007 for VSTO. See the
second screenshot at
http://www.add-in-express.com/outloo...sion/index.php. This is an
animated GIF, so please give it a chance to show an Inspector window. It's a
mail message Inspector, however this approach works also with contact, task,
appointment etc Inspectors.
