Folks,
I've been working on ribbon development in Office 2007, but I'm running into an issue that's driving me a bit nuts. I want to remove the "Permissions" option from the Orb menu of a new mail message in Outlook 2007. I am not having any luck. I'm using VS2008 and VSTO 3. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Rex
ahh, it turns out I was modifying the XML in the wrong part of the schema. The correct modification would look something like:
<officeMenu>
<splitButton idMso="PermissionRestrictMenu" visible="false"/>
</officeMenu>
<tabs>
To clarify for other readers, you cannot actually delete this feature as a menu option, as per the xml above you can set visible to false, and hide the command.

I'm sure there's a simple way to do this that I am overlooking. But, how do you make a custom tab in the Ribbon.xml show up only in the new message compose window? I want to have my own tab so that the ribbon for my groups and buttons will be clean.
I am currently doing a workaround to invalidate the tab control when a new mail item event happens, but there must be a simpler way to do this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It's Outlook 2016 desktop in Windows 10.
Thank you.
Your ribbon XML must specify only Microsoft.Outlook.Mail.Compose - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/vsto/customizing-a-ribbon-for-outlook?view=vs-2019
I was assigned for a client that needs and Outlook add-in and apparently, I don't know where to start but the client said that he wants that dollar icon to replace the person icon to create another function. I was wondering if that's possible, I mean, that has been pre-defined by the Microsoft team and they are the ones that have the source code. How am I supposed to do that?
PS. Sorry for bad english
Alright. I think I figured this out a little. I found a documentation of Microsoft here.
When I left-click on View Project portal /process guidance /reports, it doesn't take me to the site. I need to right-click it and open in new tab or new window. What could be the problem here?
Thank you.
It's a known issue, please check the comment from Chris Snyder (MSFT) in this blog:
"thanks for the heads-up with regards to the Other Links widgets. The issue you described is a known bug which will be fixed for Update 2. In the interim, the workaround that we recommend is to craft an instance of the Markdown widget which includes the links you need."
I would like to add a button to the Ribbon and have it perform some basic tasks when clicked. Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.
No, it is not possible. It looks like it is possible, but it is not. The only proper add in for Excel 2011 Mac is provided with Excel, and the ability to show it in Excel Mac's ribbon is apparently hard-coded into the Excel Mac application. None of the XML-based techniques for extending the Excel Mac ribbon work because the ribbon is hard-coded. It looks like the Windows version, but it is nothing like it.
Obviously, it is hard to provide sources for a negative answer. I have researched this topic carefully including contacting Microsoft support, and found that there is no compiler or IDE from Microsoft for this purpose. You can certainly develop in VBA in Excel Mac, and you can make an XLA add-in, but you cannot access the ribbon. You can create little square Mac toolbar icons, just as in Excel 98.
Here are some useful links that will answer your question:
how to customize the ribbon
how to customize the ribbon with vba
how to create an add in (on MSDN)
a clearer tuto on how to create an addin
Please ask a more precise question if you want more precise help.
Is it possible to insert a TextBox for the user to input text on top of a MessageBox in Windows Phone 7?
Thanks.
No - it isn't
But the "Input Prompt" in http://coding4fun.codeplex.com/ might help you. See the overview at http://www.windowsphonegeek.com/articles/Coding4Fun-Toolkit-for-WP7-Overview-and-Getting-Started
I've used the "Input Prompt" for a situation similar to this and I had no problems. This should work as suggested by Stuart. Also Stuart is right that this is NOT possible at this time.
You might also want to check out Telerik controls, RadWindow for WP7 to be specific should address the problem nicely. Only thing is that these are commercial so you'll have to purchase a license.
But if you want to create your own from scratch I watched a video, "Creating a Custom Popup", on silverlight.net that can get you started nicely. Basically it gives you the "pop up" and you can add any other controls you need inside of it.
Bear in mind all these solutions can be styled and positioned to "imitate" the look and feel of a messagebox like you wanted. Hope this helps.
This is not possible in native MessageBox. You can try Coding4Fun library as mentioned before.
An alternative solution is the InputPrompt which can be found in Telerik library (you will have to pay for this one though).
