Outlook2007 and VSTO, handle the Click on the Save Button in the IPM.Note dialog HOWTO?

[Michael Schmitz]

Hello NG,

i made a simple FromRegion Addin where I have a button and a textbox.

When i click on the button in the region i am saving the value in the mail.
So far so good.

Now i want to remove this button from the form Region,
and instead the code in the eventhadler should be executed when
the user clicks on the save Button in the upper right corner of the
Dialog next to the Office Button.

I hope i made it clear what i want

Regards

Michael

You will need to get a handle to the opened item in the NewInspector() event
of the Inspectors collection, then set up to handle the Write() event of the
opened item.

You will need to get a handle to the opened item in the NewInspector()
event of the Inspectors collection, then set up to handle the Write()
event of the opened item.

The Problem is that this Write Event only is fired if something has changed
in mail,
if nothing is changed nothing will happen.

So i need a diffrent event to actually make the change in the mail...

Any Ideas?

That's not what you asked in your original post. Write() fires when the user
clicks Save.

If you want to handle changes in the item you must sink the
item.PropertyChange() and .CustomPropertyChange() events. You can also sink
the Close() event.

You can look at the Object Browser to see what events are available to you
for any type of Outlook item.

no it only fires if the user clicks on save AND a mapi field was changed...
