Contact form custom action Michele 12/22/2008 11:23:01 AM Hi all. I added a custom action in the actions page of the standard IPM.Contact form. For this custom action i checked the option to show it on the context menu and on the bar menu. I viewed through VBScript the type property of its relative control on the context menu and it says it is a commandbutton type. My aim is to add a submenu to my custom action control but since that is a commandbutton control i think i can't add a submenu to it. Am i correct and if not how can i add a submenu to the custom action i added in the Contact form? I know i can do that easily using VBA but i would prefer to use only Form customization and VBScript inside the Form. Thanks a lot for any suggestion Best regards

Re: Contact form custom action "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 12/22/2008 2:10:57 PM Only a CommandBarPopup menu item can have sub-menus or commands. A CommandBarButton is just that, only a button. There are commands you can handle for opening of context menus in Explorers in Outlook 2007 as a supported mechanism. That allows you to add to the context menus, but for that you need to use a COM addin or Outlook VBA code, not VBScript forms code or any actions settings. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
