    - Assembly Info Missing Well you forced me to go looking for it. I don't have VSTO installed on either of my VS2005 builds. On my VS2008 build it is in the GAC. Since VS2008 should be using the same version as VS2005 you should look there. I believe I remember that VS2005 shipped with support for Office 2003 so you have to download the VSTO for later versions of Office. It might be in there. The design time component, FYI, is in <VSDir>\Common7\PublicAssemblies. As for the spellchecker I don't really know. There are third-party vendors who have controls for spellchecking in textboxes that you could use. Then again Word does already have that as well so using COM to load up Word to spellcheck, while overly complex and perhaps wasteful of resources, would work. I know that I've seen that done in an app or two. If this is for a home project or something then you should be okay as you won't notice but if you were to drop this into a commercial app it might not work so well. You'll have to play around with it to verify it works the way you want. The other thing to consider is the dictionary. If you attach yourself to Word then the user's Word dictionary is used for spell checking. This might or might not be what you wanted. If the user wants to add more words to their dictionary they would have to go to Word or you would have to extend your app to expose Word for this. If you are not interested in really using Word's dictionary then writing a spell checker isn't that hard. It is just a comparison of all words not in a list. The difficulty comes in doing it efficiently and for ignoring things like proper nouns, those containing numbers, etc. As for Vista, business is still around. I have it on my company notebook. Ultimate is nicer if you have the hardware to run it. Enterprise is nice too if you have a license for it. Ultimately they are all the same code base (and in fact the same install). Changing the product key changes the version you have and the options available. One thing about Vista I should warn you about (beyond everything you've read) is that searching for files is all but futile. You either have to waste space and CPU usage on indexing the entire system or live with the fact that it'll only search documents. Hence searching for assemblies or source files with certain entries is all but useless. Beyond anything the new search in Vista is horrible. That's why I can't say for certain whether I have the VSTO stuff on my VS2005 machines or not. I can't search for the assembly without indexing my entire drive and it won't find it reliably without indexing.

    - Sendkeys in VSTO or Collapse groups programmatically All, I have an add-in that gives the user a list of views available on the current folder. The user is then able to select a view and apply it. What I want to do is to automatically auto-collapse all groups when the view is "by categories". Can this be done with VSTO 2005 or how can I send a CTRL - key command Thanks, Rafael Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office MAPI.SessionClass in Outlook 2007 Office

    - Can we add an image to CommandBarPopup control? CommandBarPopup is a container control, and we can only set its sub items’ icon. So it is unachievable to add picture to a CommandBarPopup control. Thanks Ji Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office MAPI.SessionClass in Outlook 2007 Office

    - Button text is cut off when using a winform from vsto Hi, I don’t use a task pane or a custom form region. The Addin creates a new Button in the Ribbon of the mail editor.

    - CustomDocumentProperty not working properly? I am working with VSTO, Orcas, and Word 2007. I set a customDocumentProperty called AuditID and save the document. When I close the document and go back into it, the custom property no longer exists. But if I “Save As” to a different document name and then open the new document, it DOES exist. I have two command buttons that I have set up on a ribbon that perform the Set and Display functionality. The code for these two buttons is shown below. Private Sub btnSetAuditID_OnAction( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualStudio.OfficeTools.Ribbon.ComponentModel.ControlEventArgs) Handles btnSetAuditID.OnAction 'prompt the user for the Audit ID Dim newID As Integer = InputBox( "Audit ID:" ) 'If the auditID exists, update it, else add it Try Dim prop As Office.DocumentProperty Dim found As Boolean = False For Each prop In Globals.CastleDocument.CustomDocumentProperties If prop.Name = "AuditID" Then prop.Value = newID found = True End If Next If Not found Then 'add the new property Globals.CastleDocument.CustomDocumentProperties.add( "AuditID" , False , Office.MsoDocProperties.msoPropertyTypeNumber, newID) End If 'save the document Globals.CastleDocument.Save() MsgBox( "Audit ID " & newID & " was saved" ) 'if I exit the app now and come back in, it will not be there Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) End Try End Sub Private Sub btnDisplayAuditID_OnAction( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualStudio.OfficeTools.Ribbon.ComponentModel.ControlEventArgs) Handles btnDisplayAuditID.OnAction 'display the value of the custom property Try Dim prop As Office.DocumentProperty Dim found As Boolean = False For Each prop In Globals.CastleDocument.CustomDocumentProperties If prop.Name = "AuditID" Then found = True MsgBox( "Value of AuditID is " & prop.Value) End If Next If Not found Then MsgBox( "AuditID property was not found" ) End If Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) End Try End Sub Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office MAPI.SessionClass in Outlook 2007 Office

    - Performance/Display issues with Windows Forms Hello kewpcg, parent handle: if you don't give your forms a parent window handle -> the default is 0 wich means desktop (as I know) -> good old windows API. If you don't give them a parent - you can have a form (even a modal one) and sometimes your parent window goes in front of your AddIn (like the Outlook send/receive window - wich is modal true). And so you can never click on your invisible modal form. So - better is to explicitly say -> the parent of the form is the active window - or application. So when you have a modal form and you activate the parent-application -> the modal form comes to front. Only my expirience. 2. You didn't say that the form loading problem happens only on 1 machine and only on 1 form. I don't know what you are access or the code - so it could be a network-problem or a programming error.

    - VSTS with Office 2k3 Glad you've found out the cause for the problem :-) Keep in mind that you must obtain the Office 2003 PROFESSIONAL edition. You can't use the Standard addition with VSTO document-level customizations. Since Office 2007 has been out for quite some months now, you may have trouble finding Office 2003 in the stores. But keep in mind there's always something like Ebay... Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office MAPI.SessionClass in Outlook 2007 Office

    - How to Import a .msg and .pst file into Outlook 2007 with C# code? A .pst file and an Exchange mailbox are two completely separate types of data stores. Thus, there is no concept of storing a pst in a mailbox folder. Maybe you could provide more information on just what you're trying to do with this .pst file.

    - Multiple windows I've got an odd issue that I'm uncertain how to resolve. I'm running VSTO 2005SE with Office 2K3. I've added buttons to the toolbars that open windows. The odd thing is that when I click the button, it opens as many windows as there are powerpoint instances. I have no idea why a click in one instance causes the event to be run in all. I've tried setting it so that it checks to see if the window already exists but because they're being opened by separate instances, this does not work. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    - Support for multiple columns in Form Region controls Well, for Orcas Beta 2 you can expect support for managed form regions based on OFS files, so that would bring back olk* controls (but no Windows Forms + olk controls in the same region though). If question is strictly referring to VSTO 2005 SE then yes, no support for Windows Forms controls in Outlook Form Regions. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office MAPI.SessionClass in Outlook 2007 Office

    - WindowActivate not being called Hi Jennifer, I test it in Word 2007 Add-in developed by Visual Studio SE, no problem exists. If I open document from Website in a new instance of Word, the WindowActive event will be raised. It seems you are working on Word 2003, right I will try to find some test machine with Office 2003 to do another test. By the way, I think the Startup event will always be triggered. We can add our custom button both in Startup and WindowActive event. However every time we add the button, we should have a test if the button is already existed. My codes are like these: Code Snippet Office. CommandBar cb = null ; Office. CommandBarButton btn = null ; int btnID = -1; private void ThisAddIn_Startup( object sender, System. EventArgs e) { AddMenu(); this .Application.WindowActivate += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. ApplicationEvents4_WindowActivateEventHandler (Application_WindowActivate); } void Application_WindowActivate(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. Document Doc, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. Window Wn) { AddMenu(); } bool AddMenu() { foreach (Office. CommandBar cmb in this .Application.CommandBars) { if (cmb.Name == "Test" ) { foreach (Office. CommandBarControl control in cmb.Controls) { if (control.Id == btnID) return false ; } } } cb = this .Application.CommandBars.Add( "Test" , Office. MsoBarPosition .msoBarTop, false , true ); cb.Visible = true ; btn = cb.Controls.Add(Office. MsoControlType .msoControlButton, missing, missing, missing, true ) as Office. CommandBarButton ; btn.Caption = "Test" ; btn.Tag = "Test" ; btn.Style = Microsoft.Office.Core. MsoButtonStyle .msoButtonCaption; btn.Click += new Microsoft.Office.Core. _CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler (btn_Click); btnID = btn.Id; return true ; } void btn_Click(Microsoft.Office.Core. CommandBarButton Ctrl, ref bool CancelDefault) { MessageBox .Show( "Hello World" ); } Thanks Ji Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office MAPI.SessionClass in Outlook 2007 Office

    - Outlook 2007 RTM FormRegion & InfoPath control Thanks for your reply (sorry I didn't see it sooner). The basic form region is made up of the standard to, cc, subject, and message fields and then an InfoPath control at the bottom. The form region is a "replacement" form as opposed to a partial region that exists in another form. Using the simplest repro method, have the add-in cause the InfoPath control to create a new form using a template (we open a File Open dialog to get the template but you can hard-code it for your tests). Once the form region (as its own form since it is a replacement form region) is open, you can tab to all of the controls except the InfoPath control. You can click (with a mouse) into a field in the InfoPath control, but if you press tab, you will leave the control and go to the next Outlook field. I believe you should be able to tab into the InfoPath control and then remain there until you click out of it (in other words, the InfoPath control should process all keys while it has focus). Let me know if you need more information. Pete Loveall Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office MAPI.SessionClass in Outlook 2007 Office

    - Conditionally create multiple MS Word documents based on a single, master MS Word doc? I want to conditionally create multiple MS Word documents based on the same master MS Word document. Example: I have a single MS Word document with say 100 sections. I want to create 4 different MS Word documents, which include a different subset of the sections from the master document. I know I can do this today by manually copying and pasting, but this is error prone and time consuming. I am looking for a solution where I can somehow tag the different sections in the master document and then somehow provide a parameter value which indicates which sections (based on their associated tags) should be stripped and which should be kept in the resultant document. I experimented with the MS WORD mail merge feature - but it's insuffience to archieve the above result.

    - VSTO 2005 and VS 2005 Pro - how to get all features of both Sorry if the answer is already out there and obvious but I can't find it and need to make a purchasing decision: I'm using VS 2005 Team Suite Trial Edition. I don't need all that this version has to offer. Basically I want VS 2005 Pro with full VSTO capabilities. I understand that VSTO SE will help but doesn't offer full capabilities. I also need the capabilities in VS 2005 Pro that aren't in the VSTO version. From a purchasing standpoint the most cost effective way to go seems to be to buy VS Pro with MSDN Pro subscription to get both. Does this make sense Thanks in advance for your information.

Hi,

Previously, I work with Outlook 2003 and install CDO in my machine.

This code snippet was work in Outlook 2003.

MAPI.SessionClass session = new MAPI.SessionClass();
session.Logon("", "", false, false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);

session.Logoff();

Recently, I upgrade to Outlook 2007 and found out that MAPI was not in Outlook 2007 anymore, may I know how to replace the code snippet above using Outllok 2007 API.

Regards

Hi Kendy,

CDO is an outdated technology and not supported from Microsoft in .Net environment.

And it isn't included in Outlook2007.

However - it is available as extra download here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=2714320d-c997-4de1-986f-24f081725d36&DisplayLang=en

But maybe what you want to archive is already in the Outlook Object Modell now.

Or you can use Redemption or ADOXpress Securitymanager or MPI33 or -

use this approach here.

Hope this helps,

greets, Helmut
