MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / January 2004What is the difference between Outlook Client Extension DLL and COM-ADD IN?
Hello,what is the difference between Outlook Client Extension DLL and COM-ADD IN? Will i be able to insert advanced toolbar(graphics,pop ups etc..) from the Outlook Client Extension DLL? 10x COM add-ins support only Outlook 2000 and can be written with VB. Client extensions support all versions and require C++ or Delphi to work with Extended MAPI. I don't know of any differences in the command bar support between the two; maybe Dmitry can weight in.

Once you have a pointer to Application, your ECE can do everything a COM add-in can, but do it in any version of Outlook.
