Multiple Toolbars being added/Multiple Buttons being added to Mail

Hello,

I am developing an outlook add-in which requires a single toolbar with a

single button being added to the MailEditor window. Upon debugging my project

the first time, the button is created and all is well. However, after closing

outlook and debugging again, a duplicate toolbar is added (with the button).

This continues to happen and toolbar after toolbar is added. I manually

remove the Add-In and restart Outlook and the buttons are still there, the

only way to remove them is by restarting my PC, and it just happens again.

How would I go about solving this problem?

Thanks
 
Always make sure to set the UI you create as temporary, and then delete it

before the relevant Explorer or Inspector closes.

I'm fairly new to Outlook programming, how do I do that?

Re: Multiple Toolbars being added/Multiple Buttons being added to

The CommandBars.Add() method has a temporary argument, set it to True if you

create a new CommandBar object. The CommandBarControls.Add() method also has

that argument available when you add a new control to a CommandBar

(menu/toolbar). Also set that True.

That's generally enough, but if for some reason Outlook doesn't correctly

close or crashes a belt plus suspenders approach is to handle the

Inspector.Close() event on any Inspector you are adding UI to, and the

Explorer.Close() event on any Explorer you add UI to. In those event

handlers you get your references to the controls and commandbars you added

and call their Delete() method to delete them.

There's lots of sample code in various languages at www.outlookcode.com that

shows handling those Close() events and how to handle adding and removing

UI. Take a look there for samples in your language.

Re: Multiple Toolbars being added/Multiple Buttons being added to

My commandbar was set as temporary but the button was not. Is this way correct:

button_1 = CType(newToolBar.Controls.Add(1, 1, Nothing, Nothing, True),

Office.CommandBarButton)

?

Re: Multiple Toolbars being added/Multiple Buttons being added to

For optional missing values use System.Reflection.Missing.Value instead of

using Nothing. I usually define a class or global _missing variable object

for that.

In general, unless you are using a built-in control it's usually better to

not specify the ID argument and to supply the missing value for that also.

So I'd code that as:

button_1 = CType(newToolBar.Controls.Add(1, _missing, _missing, _missing,

True),

Office.CommandBarButton)

Also, when you set the other properties of any button you create make sure

to always use a unique Tag property. That prevents the button Click() event

from firing as many times as you have open items (Inspectors) or open folder

views (Explorers). With a unique Tag the Click() will fire only in that one

Inspector or Explorer.
