Default Force Outlook to reload form region definitions.


I'm working on an Outlook 2007 AddIn using VSTO 2005 SE, that dynamically
adds form regions depending on options selected by the user. When a user
adds a new business process view, I add the correct form keys for the form
regions for that new business process view. The problem I've run into is
that Outlook only reads those registry settings and then loads the manifests
for the registered form regions on startup. So, my new form regions do not
show up automatically, the user has to shut down Outlook and re-open it.

Is there a way to force the application to re-load all the form region
registry settings & manifests?

Thank you,
Jared

No, unfortunately that's only done on startup. I don't know of any way to
force that later on.

Is there any other way to dynamically add form regions? Or is defining them
in the registry the only way.

Thanks

They must be defined in the registry.
