Hello,

I've created a button using the AddinModule Designer; I would like to update the subject "encrypt" + subject and send it automatically after the user hits a "Secure Send" button. (Using C#) I attempted to use this sample and wasn't successful.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks,
Daniel

Hello,
I just want to update the current email in the compose window update the subject, and essentially hit the send button on the compose window.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Andrei,

Thanks for your reply. I would like to place a button on the compose email window that simply updates the subject and sends the current email window (the user would have already filled in who they wanted to send the emails to.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Split the task into steps steps. Open a compose email Inspector window; make sure that your button is shown there; make sure that clicking the button invokes a method that raises a signal when invoked. Then complicate the method: get the Inspector window where the email is prepared and display a message box showing Inspector.Caption. Then use Inspector.CurrentItem to get the email; CurrentItem returns an Object, you need to cast it to Outlook.MailItem. Make sure that MailItem.Subject returns the same string as Inspector.Caption. Once this is okay, change MailItem.Subject *and* call MailItem.Save; this would create an email - supposedly in Drafts - with the subject changed. Once this is done, make sure your button is only shown in such Inspector windows, and it is not shown anywhere else. The last step would be to call MailItem.Send.
