Hello,
I have written an Outlook Add-In using VB6.
At one point, I iterate through the Inbox (using the Outlook Object
Model, not CDO):
For Each objItem In colInboxItems
If objItem.Class = olMail Then
: <do stuff>
End If
DoEvents
Next objItem
It works. But if I have an open Inspector, and part of the Inspector
is positioned behind the Win98 taskbar along the bottom of the screen,
the buttons on the Win98 taskbar flicker as the loop above executes.
All the buttons don't flicker. The only taskbar buttons that flicker
are the particular ones that the Inspector is positioned behind. If I
move the Inspector to the left or right, the button flicker follows
the Inspector. If I move the Inspector up so it is no longer behind
the Win98 taskbar, the button flicker no longer occurs.
The flicker is very noticable when iterating through a large Inbox
containing hundreds or thousands of items. I can't just remove
DoEvents from my loop, because that causes other problems.
Has anyone run into this? Any suggestions for how to eliminate the
flicker?
All I can think of is to abandon using the Outlook Object Model and
use Extended MAPI in a separate thread that runs independently of the
Outlook execution context. But I'd rather not go down that road
unless there is no other way.
Thanks.
Jim

- 1. CreateItemFromTemplate
Hello, I would like to create a new item using a template that is stored in the Organizational Forms Library (not in the user's file system). How do I specify this as the path for the CreateItemFromTemplate method of the Outlook.Application object? Thanks for your assistance, Jon - 2. "plaxo" like integration resources
Hi, I am new to Outlook integration. Can you point me to resources which explains how to create "plaxo" like integration in outlook 2003 ? I need to add functional visual elements over emails, folders and other elements of outlook. Thanks, Gur - 3. C# or C++ versus VB6 for Add-In Development
Hello, My Outlook Add-In, developed in VB6, works and is being sold commercially. I am considering my product roadmap. Since VB6 is deprecated by Microsoft, do you think new versions of Outlook two, three, and five years out will still support Add-Ins developed in VB6? Or should I plan to migrate to C++, C#, or VB.Net? When I began developing my Add-In 2.5 years ago, VB6 was recommended as the most stable and least complicated choice. I recall discussion of single installer support with VB6, which I have today, versus separate installers required for different Windows/Outlook versions with a non-VB6 implementation. Would you still choose VB6 today for a new Add-In implementation, or is it time to move to a different language? Is C# mature enough for commercial Add-In development? Will a non-VB6 choice still complicate deployment? What other issues should I consider? Thanks. Jim - 4. Problems with dictionary in German
I notice that the German dictionary does not find obvious mistakes, for example if I use the VERB "wuensche" it will only give me the NOUN "Wuensche" and that is false. It is similar for other words, it then always want to correct it to the Noun with Umlaut, not the verb. Any experience by writers who also use German with Outlook 2000?

1.Seperate Outlook taskbar button from opened email taskbar buttons
When you open Outlook, it gets a taskbar button. When you open emails, those opened emails get grouped together with Outlook. So if I have 10 open emails and finally decide to close things, right now I right-click the Outlook taskbar button, hit "Close Group", and then re-open Outlook. It would be better if the Outlook taskbar button was seperated from the emails opened, then I could just close the grouped emails without closing/reopening Outlook.
2.Taskbar "Group similar taskbar buttons"
I first thought that this was happening only to me and that it was related to my profile somehow being "damaged". Now, since I've deployed Office 2003 to others, they are reporting the same problem. The problem is this; If you have the option selected to "Group similar taskbar buttons" and an app (let's say IE) has several groupings, sometimes (can't reproduce the problem) I can no longer access this grouping. I click on the IE grouping in the taskbar and nothing happens. I can maximize the other apps that have only one "instance", but every app that has a grouping doesn't expand. I can Alt+Tab to get to these apps, but can't do it in the taskbar anymore. I have to logoff and back on to get back to "normal". Also, when I log back on, the QuickLaunch bar is deactivated and I have to go and re-activate it. Any ideas? Running Windows XP w/SP2 and Office 2003 w/SP2.

I run this procedure from Excel 2000 Visual Basic and it is part of
much larger email procedure. The 1st run of this procedure result
in either one or two instances of OL Inbox in the Windows98 Task Bar
Each subsequent run of this procedure results in one more instances o
an OL Inbox in the Windows98 Taskbar. I want a test so one, but n
more than one instance of OL Inbox is in the Taskbar. I run thi
procedure from an Excel worksheet about five times when it is used
I need the line of code (LOC) "olExp.Activate" because sometime
Outlook is running with no instance of OL Inbox in the Taskbar.
The procudure has worked for about a year as is, but I have to clos
five of six extra instances of the OL Inbox in the Task Bar, which i
only a nuisance, not a critical error. Thanks for any help you ca
give to have OL Inbox in the task bar only one time, not multipl
times
P.S. I have not learned what a poll question is yet. This is my firs

I just upgraded to Office 2007, and all applications cause a strange behavior with regards to taskbar buttons. With Word for example, opening a document creates one button in the taskbar as expected, but every time I hover with the mouse over the Office button, two more blank (no doc name) Word buttons get created in the taskbar. I've opened as many as 15 this way, and they only disappear if I go to the taskbar and click on them. With Outlook, the bahaviour is slightly different. Clicking "File" in the standard toolbar creates two new blank Outlook buttons in the taskbar. These are persistent and will only disappear if I close Outlook first and then click on them. I run an up-to-date version of Windows XP. My colleagues have similar configurations but don't experience this problem. Any suggestions?
