CommandBarButton Click Event Not Copied When Toolbars customized

[DeanWilliams]

Hi,

I have created an Outlook COM addin that adds a CommandBarButton to the 'Standard' toolbar to run a custom for.

I declared it as a control WithEvents. The problem is if a user copies or moves the control to another toolbar the Click event no longer fires.

It does not seem possible to disallow customising the menu. Also there are no events to detect when changes are made.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I meant a custom form, by the way. Doh!

You could look at OnUpdate event and Protection property of CommandBar object.

Thanks for replying so quickly. I thought about that. The thing is I don't want to prevent people from customising the Standard Toolbar just for the sake of one button. The users wouldn't be happy with that. And you cannot apply protection to the button itself.

It also appears that there are no events for a CommandBar object.

Sorry for not precise information concerning the OnUpdate event, it is raised by CommandBars collection. It is not very precise and MS recommends it to be used mostly by COM addins.
