I dont save item when i open it. But in my outlook addin when i open a item

and add an attachment in item_open many item events called like item_open,

item_write, item_read, item_attachmentadd,item_beforeattachmentsave etc

If i disable item_write( avoid writing) then it other events for this item

are stop. Should i disable item_write. But if i disable it then how to

enable other events.

Don't disable the other events and try saving the item after you add the

attachment.

I have tried to save item after adding attachment but it still dont display

attachment. I'm not saving item before adding attachment. I dont have much

knowledge for outlook addin. I think it is happening due to following

reason.

In my addin Open a mail from inbox folder(subject-> test1) add an attachment

in item_open event and save this mail(test1.msg type) on hard

disk(File->SaveAs) and close. Now Open test1.msg from hard disk(since

test1.msg is also in Inbox folder, item_open event call 2 times). After

closing this mail i found 2 mails of subject test1.msg in inbox folder. I am

handling all mail events throgh Inspector.

When i open a mail

register inspector event in a inspector class and pass

Application->CurrentInspector

In Notify of inspector class register mail event(outlook::Items)

Please suggest where i'm wrong

Why are you saving the item as a MSG file and then re-opening it when you

already have that item saved in Outlook? What you are doing makes no sense

to me.

There should be no difference in how an item displays no matter how it's

opened.

You never did show any of your code, so no one knows what you are doing or

how.

Assuming you want to add an attachment when an item is opened then the way

I'd do it would be something like this, in the first Inspector.Activate()

event, assuming that _inspector is your Inspector object:

Outlook.MailItem mail = _inspector.CurrentItem;

Outlook.Attachments attachs = mail.Attachments;

Outlook.Attachment attach = attachs.Add(

"c:\foobar.jpg", (int)Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, 1,"My

Attachment Picture");

mail.Save();

// now release all those objects

Thanks it's solved now. The problem was adding attachment in Item_Open

event. When i add attachment in Inspector.Activate() then it display.

I know how to use mail item event like item_open, item_close,item_fwd etc.

But i dont have idea how to implement context menu operations like when i

right click on any mail select any opertion like reply,forward etc. Are they

handled seperately

What version of Outlook? For Outlook 2007 you have various new context menu

events on the Application object that you can handle and a shared event for

when a context menu closes. There are separate events for folder, item,

attachment, shortcuts, etc.

For earlier versions of Outlook there is nothing like that and you have to

use hacks that mostly work but don't tell you what was right-clicked or

where in the Outlook design surface. Examples of the hacks and various

problems that can arise are at http://www.outlookcode.com. Search there on

"context menu".
