Insert Ribbon buttons into QuickAccessToolbar problem
Hi,

For one thing you have to use the correct name and tie it to an idMso, plus
you need the tabs and tab tags there just as if you were working with any other ribbon: ribbon tabs tab idMso="Quick Access Toolbar" You also should be aware that any QAT modifications you make will only apply to the QAT for that ribbon. If you customize the QAT for Outlook.Mail.Read it won't apply to Outlook.Mail.Compose or any other ribbon. You'll need to apply your QAT customizations to every ribbon where you want the customizations to appear. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Christian Havel" wrote in message ...

Hmm. It's documented as "Quick Access Toolbar" but you might need to use
"qat" despite the documentation. See if it works if you use the idMso = "qat". -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Christian Havel" wrote in message ...

Is it better if you change:

Now I'm guessing (I haven't worked with the QAT myself in code) but it's
possible you can only modify the QAT in code if you use the startfromscratch setting, which would mean that you have to construct everything from scratch. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Christian Havel" wrote in message ...

The QAT is modified a bit differently. If you look at the XML hierarchy,
it actually goes like this: customUI ribbon qat sharedControls documentControls tabs contextualTabs So you have to put your buttons in either the sharedControls or documentControls section. I'd advise sharedControls always, as the other one is not useful in Outlook. The big catch though is that any QAT modifications are only applied if you use startFromScratch="true" in the ribbon element. For most add-ins this means that you have to stay away from the QAT. This is intentional, as the QAT is supposed to be the user's space. If a user wants a particular add-in's button on the QAT, he or she can add them her or himself.
