Hi,
I m creating a plugin in MS Outlook in VC++
I have implemented the "_IDTExtensibility2" & "IRibbonExtensibility"


I have few doubts
Ques 1:
I have added a button to the tab "idMso=\"TabReadMessage" in OUtlook 2007
ribbon controls. It gives me IDispatch* in the call back function, but i m
not able to get the
"Outlook::_InspectorPtr" by QueryInterface method. It returns null for
Outlook::_InspectorPtr.

whereas I was able to ge the "Outlook::_InspectorPtr" from the LPDISPATCH
para of the Callback fn. of Outlook 2003

How do I get the inspector ptr of the email opened(double click of message)
in OUtlook 2007.

code snippet of call back

STDMETHODIMP CConnect::ButtonClicked(IDispatch * RibbonControl)
{
Outlook::_InspectorPtr spInspctrPtr;

RibbonControl-QueryInterface(__uuidof(Outlook::_InspectorPtr),( void **)
&spInspctrPtr; //spInspctrPtr - is always null.

}


Ques 2:

I have added a button to the ribbon control and set an image to it.
If i give a bmp file, it is loading up in MS Outlook. whereas If i give a png
file(transparent one) it's not loading up..

Is there any specific dimention or property i need to set in the png file?


Thanks..

1. QI RibbonControl parameter for IRibbonControl, then read the
IRibbonControl.Context property, then QI it for IInspector.
2. Don't know, sorry.

Regarding question 2, you'd have to post the code you're using to load
the image and return it to Outlook.
