Hi,
I used MicroEye example and Ken's InspectorWrapper to create Outlook 2003
add-in. This add-in adds a new CommandBar with a dropdown and command button
to the outlook toolbar. Everything is fine if I open multiple emails from
Inbox. I see exactly one
commandbar with dropdown and a button in it. But when I open multiple new
mail inspectors, it adds 2 command bars for second inspector, 3 for third etc.
It looks like it carries command bars from previously opened inspectors. I
use colInsp_NewInspector method in OutAdddin class to call AddInsp method in
the bas module to add each inspector to the collection.
I use mail_open method to call CreateMenus where I assign unique tag to each
commandbar, dropdown and a button. When I delete one of those commandbars, it
disappears from all open inspectors. I should mention that Email editor is
Word editor. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Goran

No need to post this 3 times.

WordMail is completely different than an Outlook editor Inspector. In
WordMail for Outlook 2003 and earlier the UI you add gets placed wherever
the CustomizationContext points (Word.Application.CustomizationContext).

That has a number of implications. First, if CustomizationContext.Saved is
False then when Outlook is closed the user will get prompted to save
Normal.dot (if that's where CustomizationContext points) if they have the
setting to be prompted to save Normal.dot. If they don't have that setting
then the UI will just be saved and reappear the next time Word is opened.

Second, any UI you add will appear always unless explicitly removed. Word
doesn't honor the Temporary = True setting you might apply when you create
the UI. So you must explicitly delete the UI you created when the
item/Inspector is closing.

Finally, since Word will show all UI instances not only when WordMail items
are open but also in Word documents (try opening a doc when Inspectors are
open to see that) you need code to see if a Word window is a WordMail window
and which WordMail window if more than one is open.

That final piece is the key. Use a Word event handler to handle
Window_Activate. In that event handler check that window for
wn.EnvelopeVisible = True. If True it's a WordMail window. If False it's a
doc window. In that case you iterate all the Word CommandBars and see which
are yours and which are not. Disable yours and set Visible = False for each
one. If it is WordMail use code to match your unique Tag (which should
include the wrapper class Key value) with the current Inspector. That UI
gets enabled and made visible, any other UI gets disabled and made
invisible.

Ken,

First, sorry about multiple posts, but I was getting an error when I tried
to post, so I thought my post didn't go through. I didn't see my post in the
thread all day yesterday that's why I did this 3 times.
Thanks much for your response. I new WordMail is special, and I explicitly
remove those buttons on mail_close event so I don't have problems with
WordMail saving this commandbar. My only problem is when I have multiple new
mail windows open at the same time. Where do I find Window_Activate event?

Thanks very much,

Goran

Inspector.WordEditor is actually a Word.Document object. WordEditor.Parent
is the Word.Application object. If an item is a WordMail item you use that
methodology to get a Word Application object. That allows you to handle Word
events. WindowActivate is a Word.Application event that passes you a window
reference for the window that's being activated.

Ken,

Thank you very, very much once again.
I did exactly what you said. Got hold of WordMail object, and use
Window_Activate event to check for the CommandBar. In every open window I
make CommandBar from previous window invisible, and I see exactly one
CommandBar in each window.However, If I right-click on the toolbar I see list
of all those Command bars which are not visible. I tried to call
CommadBar.delete instead visible=false but then they dissapear in every
window, even in one where that one should be visible. Any idea how to fix
this? Also, now I get Outlook security warning when I open new email 'A
program is trying to access email addresses..'. How can I avoid this?

Thanks a lot for your time and your help.

Both disable and make invisible those toolbars you want to not show.

I have no idea why you're running into the Outlook object model security
since I don't know what your code is doing or where in your code you're
triggering the security. In general that can be anywhere that you are
possibly harvesting email addresses. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=52 for more on the security and
your options.
