Own Right-Mouse-Click Menu item in Outlook

Hi everyone!

Can somebody tell whether it is possible to have like an extra menu item in the right-mouse-click menu.

Say, if I had a Macro called "DoThisOrThat" then it this would appear in the right-mouse-click menu

What would be the code for this (maybe even: what's the code for this if it was to appear as "start a new group", ie. with a dividing line to the other menu options)

I think you can do this in Excel but I don't know the code (plus, whether it is the same for Outlook!)

I would really appreciate if somebody could help me with this problem!

Thank you very much in advance!

Marc

    Hello Marc,

    I normally write Excel Macros and converted the code you wanted for Powerpoint for some reason and then saw that you needed it for Outlook. I am sure you will be able to convert it for Outlook. I don't have Outlook at home so cannot help right away but any problems please write to me at charleschand@aol.com.

    Make sure that you run the DeleteItem procedure too or that new Item wil still be there for your next user!!

    Sub AddItem()
    On Error GoTo errortrap:

    For Each cbar In CommandBars
    If cbar.Type = msoBarTypePopup Then
    Set newitem = CommandBars(cbar.Name).Controls.Add
    newitem.Caption = "ThisandThat" ' Caption that will display in pop up
    newitem.OnAction = "GoDoThisThatProcedure" ' name of procedure to be executed
    newitem.BeginGroup = True ' separator line in pop up
    End If
    Next

    errortrap:
    Stop
    ' write your own error trap here, or maybe just end the sub
    End Sub

    Sub deleteItem()
    On Error GoTo errortrap:

    For Each cbar In CommandBars
    If cbar.Type = msoBarTypePopup Then
    CommandBars(cbar.Name).Controls("ThisandThat").Delete
    End If
    Next

    errortrap:
    ' write your own error trap here, or maybe just end the sub
    End Sub

    Sub GoDoThisThatProcedure()
    Stop
    End Sub

    [End Code]
