Thanks Ken.
Do I call open dialog form as modal or not (Form1.show 1).I realize that my
problem is that I need to stop execution in the code in inspector window when
dialog form pops up, and wait for the dialog form to be closed and pass the
value to the dropdown on the inspector and based on passed value continue
execution in the inspector.

You need to set the z-order of the Inspector window before you set the form
dialog's z-order. I usually use SetWindowLong to make the Inspector window
parented by the main Outlook window, then I make the dialog window a child
of the Inspector window. I try to avoid SetWindowPos() with HWND_TOPMOST
because if the user clicks in a completely different application the dialog
using HWND_TOPMOST still remains on top and that tends to completely annoy
users.

I checked in Spy++. I have correct OpusApp window handle.I can't believe it
neither.

I have this on dropdown change event that suppose to launch dialog form:

SetWindowPos(frmDialog.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE Or
SWP_NOMOVE)

frmDialog.Show 1

then on Inspector_Activate I have:

hw = FindWindow("OpusApp", vbNullString) this is where I capture Inspector
Handle

and on dialog form Activate event I try to set Inspector as foreground
window like:

Form1_Activate()
SetForegroundWindow(hw)
end sub

And when I click dialog form Inspector window which is foreground window
gets minimized. I even tried SetActiveWindow(hw), ShowWindow hw,
SW_SHOWACTIVATE etc to keep Inspector from dissapearing. I event put code
in
Inspector_Deactivate event to check if DialogForm is visible, If it is I
call
inspector.activate method. That does help sometimes but not always. Any
ideas
what should I try?

Thanks

You can try that or you can use a loop that checks for a public boolean in
the dialog that's only set based on some condition. See what works best for
you.

thanks. And if I have multiple "OpusApp" windows opened and all of them by
default have the same caption "Untitled Message" when I use FindWindow how do
I get handle from current one as oppose from any that are already opened.

Thanks a lot for your time and help,

Set the caption. Or look at all the handled windows and their hWnd's and see
which window isn't being handled. I usually store the hWnd for the window in
my Inspector wrapper class so I have a reference to it at all times for
things like that.

Ok, but what do you mean by "handled Windows"

If you set the Subject of the email item that changes the caption.

I mean windows that are being handled in your Inspector wrapper classes and
wrapper collection.

Hi Ken,

Sorry to use this old thread, but this is the best way to get to you. I use
your add-in wrapper to develop Outlook 2003 add-in with VB 6. It looks OK.
Now I want to use this add-in with Outlook 2007 and I have a problem when it
tries to installFeature(CDO). I installed CDO manually myself. Do I need to
check for CDO if I know that machine has it installed because I installed it
manually?

Thanks,

Goran
