Hi,


I am trying to learn windows api and message handling.




I had seen an example of custom task pnae in outlook and I tried to add a custom pane in instant search pane. But when I try to click the icon to expand/ collpase the search pane, it is not expanding / collapsing properly. It is responding properly only if I switch to some other app and come back to outlook, or if I debug it (so then also I switch from outlook to Visual studio to see breakpoints)




I subclasses the window and taking care of WM_SIZE message.


With spy++, when I see the messages, I am getting the WM_SIZE only after the switching to other app and comeback to outlook.




What message do I need to process or what should I do to make it expand/ collapse properly with a click on the icon?




Thanks in advance

Hard to say without seeing your subclassing and windows messaging code, and

please don't post that here. Code like that is way too long to evaluate in a

newsgroup post.

Did you follow the example at

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/office/additional_panel_Outlook.aspx? If not,

what example did you follow?

All I can say is that all of my subclassing code in VB6 works OK without

having to switch to other apps and back, but I mostly use subclassing like

that to provide system tray icons that respond to mouse clicks.
