Creating Form Regions with more than one page

Hi,

I already customized Outlook inspectors with full custom form regions sucessfully.

What I don't know is how do I add a second page to it, like in an Contacts Inspector the "Details" page so that it can be selected

and displayed by the Ribbon->Display Group?

(Outlook 2007, COM-Addin, c#)

Best

Tom
 
Please clarify, do you want to add 2 separate form regions or learn how to

add 1? How are you adding form regions now?

If you take e.g. the standard Inspector for Contacts, you have a "General" and a "Details" page and you can switch between them by

the Ribbon.

I want something similiar.

I create my Formregion using GetFormRegionStorage. This works fine. I design the Formregion with Outlook Formdesigner.

I hope you knoe understand better what I mean.

For what you want you need a separate form region. That's what they're

called. You set that up in the form region XML. You can google for "Outlook

separate form region" and see examples for various platforms.

So far I use a Replace-All Formregion with the XML

<?xml version="1.0"?
<FormRegion xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/outlook/12/formregion.xsd"
<!-- Internal name <name>BusinessOpportunity</name
<!-- Display name <title>Booking Opportunity</title
<!-- Additive adjoining form region <formRegionType>replaceAll</formRegionType
<!-- Outlook form region file is in the current folder relative to the location of contoso.xml <!--<layoutFile>c:\Entwicklung\ArtistsOrganizer\Booking.ofs</layoutFile><addin>OrganizerAddIn.Connect</addin
<!-- Display form region when inspector is in the Reading Pane <showPreview>false</showPreview
<!-- Version of form region <version>1.0</version
</FormRegion
Can I add a sparate form region to this?

What I don't understand is, GetFormRegionStorage can only return on .ofs File, how do I handle additional Separate Form regions for

the message class that all are displayed in one inspector?

Thanks Tom

I believe a replaceall region is not compatible with a separate region, but

I've never tried it. Try it and see.

According to Randy Byrne's book it's possible. unfortunately he does not tell how.

You can use one OFS per form region page or set up the regions using project

resources. When you get called for the form region storage or manifest you

supply

whatever is called for based on the form region name.

Not, that isn't clear from his book, I just checked. My guess is you'd use

different XML for each page and supply what's called for by name in the

GetFormRegionStorage callback, but that's just a guess. I haven't done all

that much with native form regions other than for my book.

I was also thinking in this direction.

Do you think I will then need a separate Class for every form region that I register in the XML

like:

FormRegion1.xml

<addin>OrganizerAddIn.Connect</addin
FormRegion2.xml

<addin>OrganizerAddIn.Connect2</addin

No, I don't think so. I think it would work all in one class because the

names would be different and so you could handle callbacks from the

different pages that way.
