Hi,

with the following code I try to insert buttons into the QuickAccessToolbar,
which does not work.

Dim strDescription As String
strDescription = "customUI
xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui""
loadImage=""LoadImage"""
strDescription = strDescription & _
"ribbon" & _
"quat" & _
"documentControls" & _
"button id=""IDS_WaehlenCombo"" label=""" &
GetCheckedResString(IDS_WaehlenCombo) & """ onAction=""cmdCommonRibbonBttn""
getImage=""GetImage"" /" & _
"button id=""IDS_Auflegen"" label=""" &
GetCheckedResString(IDS_Auflegen) & """ onAction=""cmdCommonRibbonBttn""
getImage=""GetImage"" /" & _
"button id=""IDS_Aktionen"" label=""" &
GetCheckedResString(IDS_Aktionen) & """ onAction=""cmdCommonRibbonBttn""
getImage=""GetImage""/" & _
"/documentControls" & _
"/quat" & _
"/ribbon" & _
"/customUI"

Does anybody see my failure?

For one thing you have to use the correct name and tie it to an idMso, plus
you need the tabs and tab tags there just as if you were working with
any other ribbon:

ribbon
tabs
tab idMso="Quick Access Toolbar"

You also should be aware that any QAT modifications you make will only apply
to the QAT for that ribbon. If you customize the QAT for Outlook.Mail.Read
it won't apply to Outlook.Mail.Compose or any other ribbon. You'll need to
apply your QAT customizations to every ribbon where you want the
customizations to appear.

Hi Ken,

I tried it with the two following Ribbon descriptions. I receive the error

Hmm. It's documented as "Quick Access Toolbar" but you might need to use
"qat" despite the documentation. See if it works if you use the idMso =
"qat".

Is it better if you change:

tab idMso="quat"

to

tab idMso="qat" ?

Now I'm guessing (I haven't worked with the QAT myself in code) but it's
possible you can only modify the QAT in code if you use the
startfromscratch setting, which would mean that you have to construct
everything from scratch.

The QAT is modified a bit differently. If you look at the XML hierarchy,
it actually goes like this:
customUI
ribbon
qat
sharedControls
documentControls
tabs
contextualTabs
So you have to put your buttons in either the sharedControls or
documentControls section. I'd advise sharedControls always, as the other
one is not useful in Outlook.
The big catch though is that any QAT modifications are only applied if
you use startFromScratch="true" in the ribbon element. For most add-ins
this means that you have to stay away from the QAT. This is intentional,
as the QAT is supposed to be the user's space. If a user wants a
particular add-in's button on the QAT, he or she can add them her or
himself.
