This example creates a toolbar in Microsoft Office Outlook. The toolbar, which contains two buttons, appears at the top of the application. When you click a button, the code displays a message that shows the button caption.
Office.CommandBar newToolBar; Office.CommandBarButton firstButton; Office.CommandBarButton secondButton; Outlook.Explorers selectExplorers; private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { selectExplorers = this.Application.Explorers; selectExplorers.NewExplorer +=new Outlook .ExplorersEvents_NewExplorerEventHandler(newExplorer_Event); AddToolbar(); } private void newExplorer_Event(Outlook.Explorer new_Explorer) { ((Outlook._Explorer)new_Explorer).Activate(); newToolBar = null; AddToolbar(); } private void AddToolbar() { if (newToolBar == null) { Office.CommandBars cmdBars = this.Application.ActiveExplorer().CommandBars; newToolBar = cmdBars.Add("NewToolBar", Office.MsoBarPosition.msoBarTop, false, true); } try { Office.CommandBarButton button_1 = (Office.CommandBarButton)newToolBar.Controls .Add(1, missing, missing, missing, missing); button_1.Style = Office .MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonCaption; button_1.Caption = "Button 1"; button_1.Tag = "Button1"; if (this.firstButton == null) { this.firstButton = button_1; firstButton.Click += new Office. _CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler (ButtonClick); } Office.CommandBarButton button_2 = (Office .CommandBarButton)newToolBar.Controls.Add (1, missing, missing, missing, missing); button_2.Style = Office .MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonCaption; button_2.Caption = "Button 2"; button_2.Tag = "Button2"; newToolBar.Visible = true; if (this.secondButton == null) { this.secondButton = button_2; secondButton.Click += new Office. _CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler (ButtonClick); } } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); } } private void ButtonClick(Office.CommandBarButton ctrl, ref bool cancel) { MessageBox.Show("You clicked: " + ctrl.Caption); }
