Hi,

I'm using VB6 to write an Outlook Add-in for Outlook 2003. I need to
intercept the click event of some built-in buttons from the Explore object
because the Outlook object model does not have all the events I need.

The problem is if I have multiple explorers running, the click event will be
triggered multiple times, when the button is pressed once. I know I need to
set the .tag property to some unique value to avoid the event being trigged
more than once, if it is a new button, but the trick does not work for
built-in button controls.

I have a class to wrap the explorer collection and the class has it's own
variable to hold the button object

My code looks like this:


Set oBtnHelp = oExplorer.CommandBars("Standard").Controls("Help")
oBtnHelp.tag = "some unique value for each explorer"
......
......
Private Sub oBtnHelp_Click(ByVal Ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton,
CancelDefault As Boolean)
'Do something for this event
End Sub

Could anyone show me what I need to do to fix the issue?

Thanks,
Thomson
