I'm trying to set my add-in so that it doesn't load automatically upon launch (outlook 2010, 32-bit) but only on demand.
I've changed the ADXAddinModule LoadBehavior to 9 (Connected;LoadOnDemand) to achieve that.
However, I don't have a new ribbon tab in my add-in. I have my ribbon tab's IdMso set to TabMail (the Home tab in Outlook 2010 Explorer) and now When I load my Outlook I don't see the Home tab at all.
I can somewhat understand the rationale behind this (my add-in is using the same tab), but I don't think it should be like that.
If I have a new ribbon tab (i.e. no IdMso) with the latter LoadBehavior, that new ribbon tab will appear even when the add-in is not loaded (to allow on-demand loading).
Why is this not the case when using built-in tab IdMso's?
How can I make my add-in load on demand when my ribbon groups/buttons/controls are in the default Outlook ribbon?

Hello Nir,
You'd need to use LoadBehavior=16 (ConnectFirstTime). When you start the host application for the first time and then close it, Office sets the LoadBehavior registry value to 9. Alas, I replicate the issue in this scenario as well. It is now filed under #6199 in our bug-tracking DB. We will be able to look at this in the new year, starting from January, 5.
As soon as I have any news on this issue, I'll let you know.

Hello Nir,
We've reproduced this issue in a VSTO add-in. It only occurs if a tab element in the Ribbon XML contains both the IdMso and getVisible attributes. You can use the ReplaceGetVisibleWithVisible method (see below VB.NET and C# versions) as a workaround. You call this method in the OnRibbonBeforeLoad event of the add-in module as demonstrated in the examples supplied below. Note that replacing the getVisible attribute with the visble one makes the tab visibility static; you cannot change the visibility of such a tab at run time.
Hope this helps.
