hi there,

I do have a plugin (Red Oxygen Outlook COM Add-In) installed on Outlook
2003. That plugin adds a button to the toolbar which allows me to send SMS
trhough my local provider. Unfortunately, there is no programmatic (library)
access to that plugin. The functionality is very primitive. I click the
button and a form opens that allows me to enter a name for the receiver
(that one will be checked against the directory or the Outlook contacts), a
text to be sent and that's about it.

There is no way I can see to fire up that form except to click on that
button. I wonder if there might be a way to add some more functionality,
like adding that tool to the right click menu of a contact and initiate a
send from there.

is there a way to use VBA to click on a button in the toolbar that does not
expose itself in the library?

thanks

dan

Dan, you could use the CommandBars.FindControl function to get a reference
on that button. For a CommandBarButton you can then call its Execute method,
that´s similar to a click on that button. But that´s it. You still need to
do a click somewhere and then enter more information, so I don´t see any
advantage.
