outlook Add-In problem accessing shared calendar second tim

Hi
I had developed an Add - In for outlook 2003. It works fine while accessing
the inbox folder. But when I tried to access the mail item stored in the
calendar of another user, it works fine for the first time. When I opened the


mail Item in the calendar for the second time it says "The operation Failed"
error message.

I think the error is generated in the line "Inspector.CurrentItem" when the
application tries to get the reference of the active inspector

You would have to show more of your code for anyone to see what you are
doing and how.

And you'd be best off posting this in a programming newsgroup, such as
microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba.

Hi

Here is the code snippet

Private Sub m_olInspectors_NewInspector(ByVal Inspector As Outlook.Inspector)
Try

m_olInspector = CType(Inspector, Outlook.InspectorClass)
AddHandler m_olInspector.InspectorEvents_Event_Close, AddressOf
m_olInspector_Close

If TypeOf Inspector.CurrentItem Is Outlook.MailItem Then
m_olMailItem = CType(Inspector.CurrentItem,
Outlook.MailItemClass)
End If
Catch ex As SystemException

End Try
End Sub

The line "If TypeOf Inspector.CurrentItem Is Outlook.MailItem Then" is
giving problem when I used the shared calendar to open the mail item second
time. If I comment out the IfLoop and its contents it is working fine.

Well, I can't answer for the oddities of using .NET coding with Outlook
other than to say that a lot of odd problems crop up. Why not see if
Item.Class does any better for you and make sure you are keeping alive any
object references you will need later on.

Hi Everyone,

Using: VS 2005 Tools for Office - code in C#

It seems that when we create Temporary CommandBars and related buttons to MailItem Inspectors, on subsequent NewInspector events (and thus Inspector windows containing MailItems), the Temporary CommandBars remain and we don't have to recreate them.

Oddly, this is NOT the case with Calendar items. If we open a new Calendar Appointment (or any other appointment for that matter), the Temporarily created CommandBars are no longer there, yet our class-scoped variable containing a reference to the previous Calendar's Inspector STILL has a VALID reference to the previous Inspector?

Could someone please explain the difference in function between a MailItem and Calendar Item containing folder??

Regards,
-Darius
