MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / May 2008Response out of MS Outlook dialog box
I am using VSTO with C# for creating Outlook Add-ins. I need to get the response from the dialog box that pops up during various operations like Save, Send, Close etc. The dialog box usually contains options like: 1. Save and send the item, 2. Don't save but keep the item open. How can I get the response out of this dialog box? None of those dialog boxes provide outputs that you can receive or handle. You can guess, if the user chooses to send then the Item.Send event will fire. If they save the Item.Write event will fire and so on, but that's about it.

My situation is kind of wierd where in I need to handle the save event on Outlook appointment item. Within save event handler, I need to get all item related information like entryId etc. (you can assume that the save is must for me to proceed further) for which I save the item first and then proceed further. But if the user changes Date/Time on the MEETING item and Sends update, then the dialog box pops open when I call Save within the Save event handler. If user selects "Don't save but keep the meeting open", I need to cancel the Send event. Is there a work around for this issue? Thanks. You can cancel Send inside the Send event handler. You can't really do what you want from the Write event, but you can cancel the event, set a flag there to indicate the event was cancelled and then call Save later from a timer event handler or something like that. The flag would tell the Write handler what state the code was in. SignatureKen Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
