how to add Quit event handler for the outlook.Applicaton object?

[Guest]

I have written a com-Add in program for outlook. In the OnConnection method
of the Extensibility.IDTExtensibility2 interface, I put a custom menu and
several menu items on the main menu bar.

And I want to unload these custom menu and menu items once the outlook
quits. Unfortunately, it seems like the outlook.application object does not
directly provide a quit event handler?

Any advice on how to resolve the problem would be greatly appreciated!

The Outlook.Applicatoion_Quit event is actually quite useless. For a COM
Add-In, you need to unload/delete custom command bars in the OnDisconnection
event.

Have a look at this sample project, it's a great example of best practices
with command bars in Add-Ins:
