I suggest looking at Add-In Express from Afalina
(http://www.add-in-express.com/add-in-net/). It will save you a lot of
time, especially if this is your first add-in.

Hello mohit,

i replied you at the forum.
How did you created your AddIn, what's the progId in your code ?
Do you have the right registrysettings for your Addin (ProgId) ?

contectmenu for Emailaddress, -> i'm not shure, don't beleive.
maybe extend the context menu dynamically in CommandBar Click event
There is an exampel on codeproject, but i haven't done so.

Helmut,

thanks for the reply.
yes now i am able to see the bar and buttons on the main outlook application
window.Now i am left with two more things to do which i dont know how to
start.
1. I have to show the same bar and buttons on all the open windows of
outllok.like new mail, the mail i get.
2. If i open a mail message and on the sender's address i right click i get
the context menu.I want to add a button there so that i can fire some event
on that.
Its like adding a button in the context menu with caption "dosomething".
Can i also add in the Additional Actions...???
I can see

I will be highly obliged.
Regards,
Mohit

Hello mohit,

1. Create an inspector wrapper like in this example:

http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=797

rightclickmenu -> not done, i'n not sure.

If you have ever made it, please post it to us.
