calling custom address book from mail form
Hello,
a customer wants to use his custom address book component from within Outlook 2003 instead of the default one. His address book should be launched if a user clicks the TO: or CC: button. There are several different ways to open the default address book, and he wants to be able to use his solution from all possible places. But it would help if the mentioned buttons change their behavior. Thanks! Michael M

calling custom address book from mail form
The Outlook object model provides no way to change the behavior of the buttons to show a different dialog. Maybe it can be done at the Windows API level -- watching for the standard dialog and then suppressing and replacing it.

This means a CBT hook would be the only way to catch the dialog creation and
call another dialog instead. I hoped there would be a simple solution..
