I need to write a custom add-in for outlook. The idea will be to have a button added to a mail form that will open up a windows form. The user will select a customer from a drop down box. When they do that, I will need to populate the body of the mail message with some data from a database.
I have started to work on this in Visual Studio 2003. I was able to add a button, but to the main outlook view, not new message. I was able to pull up the windows form when the button was clicked.
The problems I have are
1. the button was not in the correct location
2. every time I reopen outlook, my button get created again, by delete code does not work.
3. how to I put data into the body of the message?
This add-in sounds like it could be very simple, I just have never made one before. I have tried doing a Google search but keep coming up short.
My codeing language is C#. If you can offer ANY advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
