Hi,

how can I show the Tab "AddIns" in Outlook 2007 in the eMail inspector?

Thanks Christian
 
Using code? You can't. The best you can do is use the CommandBarButton for
Tools, Trust Center and call its Execute method. You can't do navigation
from that point. You could try using SendKeys but there's no guarantee it
will work correctly in all situations and it's a real kludge.

More generally there's no way to navigate to a specific tab in the Tools,
Options dialog's tabs either.
 
I might have misunderstood your question. In the Ribbon the AddIns tab only
shows up if something has added custom UI to the CommandBars collection. So
if you use the old way of adding a button/toolbar/menu/etc. to the Inspector
you get the AddIns tab. If you use the Ribbon you don't get the AddIns tab.
 
Hi Ken,

the AddIns tab does not appears although I add a commandBar object.

We had the effect, that the "AddIns" tab sometimes appears and sometimes not.

Do you have any idea how to show it manually?

I suppose you could try referencing <tab idMso="TabAddIns" visible="true" >
and see if that works, but why would you even want to display that tab? It
makes finding your UI quite difficult, especially if there's more than 1
addin that uses CommandBars for Inspectors.

In the early days of testing Outlook 2007 at one point I had 4 addins
running that didn't use the ribbon and it was almost impossible to find
their UI in the AddIns tab and things were just butt ugly with buttons for
different menus, toolbars and additions to the Standard toolbar all bunched
together in a group for each addin. Yuck!
