Program "Click on Ribbon Button" Using VBA

I don't know if anyone can help me, but I thought I would ask. In Outlook

2007, we have a 3rd party add-in that imports an email to a document

repository. The "Save to Vignette IDM" button resides on the command bar in

explorer and in the Add-Ins menu on the ribbon. Thanks to Sue Moshier, we

are able to "click" on the button on the command bar in explorer. However,

the code only runs for the highlighted email in explorer. The problem is

when we have multiple emails up and want to import an open email that is not

selected in explorer. The code runs, but it imports the selected email in

explorer, not the active email.

I need to be able to "click" on the button on the ribbon using vba

(basically execute the event with vba) and execute the command for the open

email (inspector). I don't want to modify the code. Unfortunately, I do not

have access to the source. Any ideas?

Sub RunIt()

Dim cb As Office.CommandBar

Dim cbb As Office.CommandBarButton

Dim ctrl As Office.CommandBarControl

Dim exp As Outlook.Explorer

Set exp = Application.ActiveExplorer

Set cb = exp.CommandBars("Standard")

For Each ctrl In cb.Controls

If ctrl.Caption = "Save to Vignette IDM" Then

Set cbb = ctrl

cbb.Execute

Exit For

End If

Next

Set cb = Nothing

Set cbb = Nothing

Set ctrl = Nothing

Set exp = Nothing

End Sub

Thanks.
 
If the code only works on a selected item in an Explorer then that won't

help you at all for an Inspector. The button code would need to work on

ActiveInspector, not on Selection(1).

I don't see any way of doing what you want unless you write your own code to

mirror the functions of the button, or you get the addin author to change

things for you.
