Latest Outlook "Edit Recurrence" control-id - outlook

Within an Outlook Addin I am currently capturing when a user clicks the Recurrence Button for Series using this XML:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
<commands>
<command idMso="Recurrence" onAction="RecurrenceButtonClick"/>
<command idMso="RecurrenceExplorer" onAction="RecurrenceButtonClick"/>
</commands>
</customUI>
Now there is this new Button in the latest Outlook Versions that I cannot capture:
I have not found the control-id in the Excels provided by Microsoft:

Thanks in advance.

How to set outlook addins pinned right away?

I set the SupportsPinning to true for outlook addins by modifying the manifest file as shown below. This allows the pin icon available. By default, the Pin is not selected. So is there a way to have the addins PINNED right away?
<!-- Task pane button -->
<Control xsi:type="Button" id="msgReadOpenPaneButton">
......
<Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">
<SourceLocation resid="readTaskPaneUrl" />
<SupportsPinning>true</SupportsPinning>
</Action>
</Control>
Nope. Users are responsible for pinning the task pane. The add-in just provides such ability. I'd suggest filing a feature request at https://aka.ms/M365dev-suggestions .

MS-Office add-in SSO - use WebApplicationInfo manifest for Outlook

I have followed this guide for having SSO in a PowerPoint add-in:
https://dev.office.com/docs/add-ins/develop/sso-in-office-add-ins
Everything works fine. Now I want to do the excact same with an Outlook add-in. According to the above article it should be possible. Only the Outlook add-in requires the WebApplicationInfo element in VersionOverridesV1_1 section.
I have tried multiple different manifest configurations, but simply cannot get Outlook (desktop version 1708) to accept a manifest with the WebApplicationInfo element.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? - or is this not supported in Outlook yet (despite the comment in the article above).
Best regards,
Thomas

WiX Burn: MsiPackage internal UI display but behind the custom WPF UI

I am creating a custom bootstrapper which has a WPF UI.
First: the WPF user interface will display.
Second: when I click the install button, the MsiPackage will execute, the internal UI will display because I set DisplayInternalUI to yes
Everything is OK, but it has a problem. The internal UI displays behind the custom WPF UI.
How do I set the internal UI to display at the top of window?
I tried to minimize the WPF UI when I click the Install button. Yes, the WPF UI will minimized, and seconds later the internal UI also... It shows with the minimized window state too.

When you call Engine.Apply() make sure you pass the handle to the WPF Window that is being displayed. It should go something like:
var mainWindowHandle= new WindowInteropHelper(mainWindow).EnsureHandle();
Engine.Apply(mainWindowHandle);
Where mainWindow is class that inherits from the WPF Window class.

Create a new top-level menu in Visual Studio

We have an add in for VS that currently is launched from the tools menu, the add-in consists of a a UI offering the user a few option buttons, which I now want to convert to a top-level menu that would offer the same functionality.
I've read this tutorial, which helped me add a new top-level menu, but couldn't really understand the logic behind all the steps. The guide doesn't really clear what each of the steps create or how can your change the output.
What the steps create is a new top-level menu with a single item underneath it. I'm trying to create some hierarchy in my menu (i.e. Top Level -> Sub category -> Commands) but got abit lost with all the groups/menus/IDs structure.
Is there any clear explanation for the structure of these files? A documentation or a tutorial? If anyone had experience in the subject and could help clear things up I would much appreciate it...
I haven't tried doing hierarchical menu items, but I have had similar problems with the Visual SDK .vcst file. It is a pain. A couple of things you can do.
Install the VS Package Editor to Visual Studio Blog Entry for it: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2010/09/08/introducing-the-vspackage-builder.aspx
Download source code (open source so you can see how they do it) for an add-in that does similar things. Example is AnkhSVN which is a Subversion Repository Add-in to Visual Studio. Here is the source code: http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/source/browse/ankhsvn/
I assume that nowadays by "add-in" you mean an extension that is a VS package (using the VS SDK) because an "add-in" was an older form of extension for VS 2013 and lower. (If you really mean an "add-in" then see my sample HOWTO: Adding buttons, commandbars and toolbars to Visual Studio .NET from an add-in)
Packages use .vsct files. To answer your question, see the .vsct files of my samples here:
CommandTopMenu
CommandSubMenu
(and to learn see also the other ones for context menus, toolbars, etc.). In the .vcst file they use "CommandPlacements" to separate the definition of an item from its "placement", and comments to explain the relationship between the 3 kinds of items:
Menus (Main-menu/Top-menus/Sub-menus/Context menus) and Toolbars.
Groups: a group is a container for other groups and also for commands and sub-menus.
Commands
Remember the rules:
The parent of a top-menu is always the Main menu of VS, never a group
The parent of a sub-menu is always a group, never directly a toolbar or any kind of menu.
The parent of a command is always a group, never directly a toolbar or any kind of menu (same rule that for sub-menus)
The parent of a group can be a menu, a toolbar, a context menu, etc. and it can be also another group.
A menu (any kind) or toolbar can be either created by your extension (except the main menu of VS) or an existing one of VS, identified by prefix "IDM_". See GUIDs and IDs of Visual Studio menus and GUIDs and IDs of Visual Studio toolbars.
A group can be either new (created by your extension) or an existing group of Visual Studio, identified by prefix "IDG_". You have some built-in Visual Studio groups in the links above, but for a more exhaustive list install the ExtensionTools extension (Mads Kristensen) that provides intellisense in the .vsct file or check the source code of its VsctBuiltInCache.cs file.
Code example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CommandTable xmlns="...">
<!-- Extern section unchanged -->
<Commands package="guidHowToPackagePkg">

<!-- New menu added -->
<Menu guid="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" id="SubMenu" priority="0x200"
type="Menu">
<Parent guid="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" id="TopLevelMenuGroup" />
<Strings>
<ButtonText>Other Commands</ButtonText>
<CommandName>Other Commands</CommandName>
</Strings>
</Menu>
</Menus>
<Groups>
<!-- Group changed to SubMenuGroup and attached to SubMenu -->
<Group guid="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" id="SubMenuGroup"
priority="0x0600">
<Parent guid="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" id="SubMenu"/>
</Group>
</Groups>
<Buttons>
<!-- We attached these two buttons to SubMenuGroup -->
<Button guid="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" id="ThirdCommand" priority="0x0100"
type="Button">
<Parent guid="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" id="SubMenuGroup" />
<Icon guid="guidImages" id="bmpPicX" />
<Strings>
<CommandName>ThirdCommand</CommandName>
<ButtonText>Third Command</ButtonText>
</Strings>
</Button>
<Button guid="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" id="FourthCommand"
priority="0x0101" type="Button">
<Parent guid="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" id="SubMenuGroup" />
<Icon guid="guidImages" id="bmpPicArrows" />
<Strings>
<CommandName>FourthCommand</CommandName>
<ButtonText>Fourth Command</ButtonText>
</Strings>
</Button>
</Buttons>
</Commands>
<Symbols>
<!-- We add a SubMenu and changed SubMenuGroup -->
<GuidSymbol name="guidBasicVSCTSampleCmdSet" value="...">
<IDSymbol name="SubMenu" value="0x0101" />
<IDSymbol name="SubMenuGroup" value="0x0201" />
</GuidSymbol>
</Symbols>
</CommandTable>
This provides you with the following top-level menu:
Here's a full chapter on the topic. This pretty much explains everything there is to know on (hierarchical) menu's.

How to Extending vs2010 editor context menu for .js file?

I have a VS2010 VSIP package with several commands,Those commands are added to the javascript editor's context menu,and i am using
<Group guid="guidPrettyJsCmdSet" id="ContextMenuGroup" priority="0x0600">
<Parent guid="guidSHLMainMenu" id="IDM_VS_CTXT_CODEWIN"/>
</Group>
but it work only C# file,how to make it work for .js file?
The HTML/CSS/JS code editors actually show different context menus than the main code editor. Unfortunately, the Guid/ID pairs for these context menus aren't published or defined in the Visual Studio SDK.
However, there is a debug hook (since VS 2005 SP1) that lets you identify the Guid/ID of almost any menu item you could be interested in. See this blog post for how to do that.
Using the technique described in that post, if I CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHTCLICK in the Javascript editor, I get the following dialog:
In the <Symbols> section of my VSCT file, I can put the following:
<GuidSymbol name="htmlEditorCommandSet" value="{D7E8C5E1-BDB8-11D0-9C88-0000F8040A53}">
<IDSymbol name="jsContextMenu" value="0x0034"/> <!-- 52 in hex is 0x0034 -->
</GuidSymbol>
Then, it's just a matter of parenting to that Guid/ID:
<Group guid="guidPrettyJsCmdSet" id="ContextMenuGroup" priority="0x0600">
<Parent guid="htmlEditorCommandSet" id="jsContextMenu"/>
</Group>
