I am working on building ‘smart’ filtering technology for Outlook 2003, which
requires that we integrate some text-oriented analysis capabilities that
we’ve developed in C#.

We’ve found an example from the Outlook 2003 VBA Lang form MSDN document.
Reference that we’d really like to have expressed in C#. Is there any formal
or informal reference for Outlook 2003 and C# that might discuss filtering or
perhaps interface manipulations (for example, programming a custom right
click option for an Outlook folder or item).

Discussion of any options in this area would be appreciated.



Thank you and best regards.
 
I probably have a few articles besides the MSDN ones listed at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/index.htm#dotnet

Outlook does not directly expose the right-click context menu in its
CommandBars collection. You will, however, see a new right-click command is
when the item selected is using a custom form that includes one or more
custom actions. You can also add a custom action without using a custom
form, as demonstrated at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=526

Richard Kagerer has posted a code sample at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=314 that shows how you might
trick Outlook into exposing the context menu through Explorer.CommandBars.

The C++ sample add-in at http://www.codeproject.com/atl/outlook2k3addin.asp
also shows a technique for working with the context menu.
