I have found some code, via a few thousand Google searches, that adds a button to the Standard Outlook Toolbar ... however, when I click on that button, nothing happens ... is anybody able to tell me why ?

VB
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.SqlServerCe
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Imports Microsoft.Office.Core

Public Class ThisAddIn

    Dim WithEvents MyApp As Outlook.Application = Nothing
    Dim MyNS As Outlook.NameSpace = Nothing
    Dim WithEvents MyButton As Office.CommandBarButton

    Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup() Handles Me.Startup

        Dim StandardToolbar As Office.CommandBar = Application.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars("Standard")

        AddButton(ButtonCaption:="GARY1", ButtonTag:="GARY2", ButtonIcon:=3)

        MyApp = Application
        MyNS = MyApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

    End Sub

    Private Sub AddButton(ByVal ButtonCaption As String, ByVal ButtonTag As String, ByVal ButtonIcon As String)
        Dim MyButton As Office.CommandBarButton
        Dim StandardToolbar As Office.CommandBar = Application.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars("Standard")

        Try
            ' If the button already exists, remove it
            MyButton = StandardToolbar.FindControl(Tag:=ButtonTag)

            If MyButton IsNot Nothing Then
                MyButton.Delete(True)
            End If
        Catch Ex As InvalidOperationException 'Exception
            MsgBox(Ex.Message)
        End Try

        'create the control
        MyButton = CType(StandardToolbar.Controls.Add(Type:=1, Before:=8, Temporary:=True), Office.CommandBarButton)

        With MyButton
            '.Picture
            .Style = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption
            .Caption = ButtonCaption
            .Tag = ButtonTag
            .FaceId = ButtonIcon
            .OnAction = "!<ThisAddIn.Test>"
        End With

        AddHandler MyButton.Click, AddressOf GARY3
    End Sub

    Public Function Test() As String
        MsgBox("Test")
        Test = "x"
    End Function

    Private Sub GARY3(ByVal ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, ByRef Cancel As Boolean)
        MsgBox("GARY4")
    End Sub

    Private Sub ThisAddIn_Shutdown() Handles Me.Shutdown

    End Sub


There is more to this program than just this code, hence the extra imports, but it is independent to this process.

Any help appreciated ...

I needed to handle a MyButton.Click ... DOH !!!

VB
Private Sub PressMyButton() Handles MyButton.Click

    Dim myEmailForm As New EmailForm
    myEmailForm.Show()

End Sub
