MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / April 2008Have "MS Outlook 2007 Programming" book & I'm stuck - Add controls to Control Toolbox
On page 97 of the book it states in section 5.2 that before you can use the controls, such as "info bar" you have to add them to the Control Toolbox. It states "Right-click the Toolbox, and choose Custom Controls." I must not be right clicking on the right thing becuase I get no menu of anything. I'm right clicking on the "Toolbox" the small square window "Toolbox" as shown on page 101. Where can I get to add the missing controls? Thanks, Bill If a right-click on the Toolbox in the form design environment is unresponsive, then try this: Use Alt+F11 to get into the VBA environment, and insert a form module there, then display that form's Toolbox. The right-click menu should be more responsive there. And whatever controls you add in VBA will also appear in the control Toolbox in form design. Note, though, that the Info Bar and other olk* controls are for form regions ONLY. If you try to use them on a legacy custom form, you run a good chance of corrupting the form and all the code behind it.

If not I'll try the Alt+F11 thing. Very frustrating.

I remember it going back to Outlook 2002 and maybe earlier.
