i have developed a custom ribbon for a custom message class: "IPM.Contacts.MyCustomClass"
i note that inside the GetCustomUI() method I can;t seem to trap whether the ID relates to a custom message class or note, as they both come out as "Microsoft.Outlook.Contact". So I am assigning my custom ribbon to both the standard outlook form and mythingie form at this point. Am I doing this bit right???
case "Microsoft.Outlook.Contact":
return Properties.Resources.MyCustomClassRibbon;
so next i am hiding/showing my tabs on my custom ribbon depending upon whether the messageclass is custom or not which i am ascertaining using GetVisible callback methods. but i dont think this is right because i am dictating what is on the ribbon for the standard contact form here, which i should not be doing, in case changes are made to it in the future. so where am i going wrong???
i include my ribbon code below. thanks for any help.
< customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
