Default Outlook does not remember the add-in hidden status.

Hi all,

If any user hides add-in by right clicking on toolbar and uncheck
add-in name,
Next time when outlook starts it does not remember the add-in hidden
status and it just shows add-in in to outlook toolbar.
I have created add-in command bar as temporary.
I checked this with Outlook spy. It just working fine in this scenario.

Can anyone help me on this?

Regards,
Vinayakc

Default Outlook does not remember the add-in hidden status.

It's up to you to include code in your add-in to "remember" the state of the toolbar so that you can recreate it in the same state the next time Outlook starts. State includes not just hidden/visible but position information. (Users complain frequently about add-in toolbars that don't come back to the same positions every time.) You can use the registry, an XML file, or any other means at your disposal to store and retrieve this information. But you have to provide the code. Outlook can't remember the state of a temporary toolbar.
