Using VB you can create an Outlook COM addin if you plan to support
only Outlook 2000 and later. If you need to support earlier versions
of Outlook you would have to write an Exchange extension, which has to
use Extended MAPI and can only be programmed using C++ or Delphi.

The standard sample Outlook COM addin is ItemsCB which can be
downloaded from the Resources page at www.microeye.com

Everything you want to do can be done, BTW.

Hello.

I need to create an extension for outlook ,the extension should display two
folders
which contains different items,the first folder
contain products which user sells
and the other contains products which user bought

User can either post a new product to a folder
,view the product or delete it
no need for response or other stuff

user can also run some action on a product
from a toolbar placed by an addin,
pressing a button like "change product properties"
will open a VB form(from within the addin)

also whenever user select an item,i need to be able to detect from within
the addin
which item was selected

The addin will be written using VB 6.0

can you please tell me if this possible to do?
do you know of any application-addin
either free or not which does something similar so i can learn myself how to
do it?


Thanks.
 
Thanks Ken,
I have one more question please,
is it possible to create a special folder to which an items can be added
only using code from
the addin,
user will not be able to add any items using a custom form


Thanks
