My outlook-addin displays a form that has a mail-to textbox. The add-in
itself does not send any mail out, so the security issue doesn't come into
play. The form collects all the emails and then forwards them to the server
(using webservice), which then sends email on behalf of the user.
My quesition is .. is there a way I can bind the auto-complete on a windows
textbox or combo-box to use the outlook autocomplete source. I know it is
stored in a .nk2 file, but that its format is proprietary.

Any suggestions would help.

While actually binding an edit box to any autocomplete source needs to be
doen explictly in your code (this is not at all Outlook specific), you can
enumerate the contents of any NK2 file using Redemption - see
