I developed an outlook add-in which manages the meeting request response with a custom ribbon button. But this button in the ribbon. There is a standard meeting request menu in the meeting request body. I would like to hide this menu. But I cannot access this menu. I can access the selected item in the compact view with the code in the ThisAddin.cs
I have tried to access the active explorer. there are some of the controls accessible like command bars. But I don't know what this control means.
There buttons cannot be hidden. You can simulate clicks on them using Accessibility API, but that's about it.

I add ribbon button in my entities form XrmToolBox via Ribbon Workbench plugins, I already publish my change to that form but when I refresh my page there is still no button that I already created.
My another question is how to add action to that button via plugin? I found some answer on the internet but still not 100% understand, first we create Action in our CRM so we can add it in plugin registration but what I'm still don't understand how to tell that action belongs to my ribbon button. Can anyone help me?
If the new custom ribbon button has no command associated it will not show, other reason could be cache, try to clear it and check again.
You can execute Custom Action like any Workflow from Ribbon/command bar button. For that you can use Smart button in Ribbon workbench. Read more
The plugin registration you are talking about is something what will trigger & can be used in pipeline when this Action executes. For every Custom Action - you will get a Plugin message to register against.
Assume you have an Incident, you want to quickly resolve it in single click - you can create custom action called 'Quick Resolve' which will close the incident with default resolution. Let's say on quick resolution, you want to pull all the related child incidents & close everything, then register a plugin on 'Quick Resolve' message & you can write code to pull/close all the child incidents inside plugin.
Is there an easy way to disable , hide and capture the event of click of outlook mail send button ? The solution has to be compatible with outlook 2007 and 2010 versions. Code examples will be appreciated.
Thanks.
You can handle the Send event of the MailItem class which is fired when the user selects the Send action for an item. Also you may find the ItemSend event of the Application class helpful. It is fired whenever an Microsoft Outlook item is sent, either by the user through an Inspector (before the inspector is closed, but after the user clicks the Send button) or when the Send method for an Outlook item, such as MailItem, is used in a program.
To disable or hide the button you may consider using a form region which can override the whole inspector region leaving the ribbon control intact (the Replace-all region type). See Creating Outlook Form Regions for more information. Also you may consider using Advanced Outlook view and form regions.
I want to add a form with a submit button in it in an outlook mail which I could send to a group. Once user clicks on submit button, I want data in the form to be saved in my database. Any idea how to do?
It looks like you need to develop an Outlook add-in with a form region where you can place all your custom controls for dealing with a Db. See Walkthrough: Creating Your First Application-Level Add-in for Outlook to get started quickly. The Creating Outlook Form Regions section in MSDN provides all the required information about form regions.
You can repurpose button controls on the ribbon in Outlook. See Temporarily Repurpose Commands on the Office Fluent Ribbon. But the Send button is not located on the ribbon in Outlook inspectors. You need to handle the Send event of Outlook items instead.
Also you may consider handling the ItemSend event of the Application class. It is fired whenever an Microsoft Outlook item is sent, either by the user through an Inspector (before the inspector is closed, but after the user clicks the Send button) or when the Send method for an Outlook item, such as MailItem, is used in a program.
i am developing an Outlook AddIn for Outlook 2010 with VS 2010.
When the user opens some Mails, and he changes the focus from one mailitem to another: Is there any event which can give me the currently displayed/focused mailitem?
It looks like you are interested in the SelectionChange event of the Explorer class. It is fired when the user selects a different or additional Microsoft Outlook item programmatically or by interacting with the user interface.
If you switch between inspectors, you need to handle the Activate event of the Inspector class. It is fired when an inspector becomes the active window, either as a result of user action or through program code.
I'm currently working on an Outlook 2010 Add-In with C#. Is there any way to customize the "From/To/CC/Subject" pane in Outlook 2010?
Specifically, I hope to implement the following functionality:
Add a new field below the subject of an email
Add two icons on the right of that area
I need to do that both for email previews and when reading an email in a new window. See this ImageShack pic as an example.
You cannot customize this part of the Outlook user interface - as of my researches I've done for a client who just requested that. Here's my link list (with negative results):
