Visual Studio 2010 + Microsoft Office 2007

its working, catching outlook user events to MyAddin

 Application.ActiveExplorer().SelectionChange += new ExplorerEvents_10_SelectionChangeEventHandler((myOlExp_SelectionChange);

 

 

in Visual Studio 2010 + Microsoft Office 2010

ERROR, trying the equivalent code: ExplorerEvents_11_SelectionChangeEventHandler doen´t existe

  Application.ActiveExplorer().SelectionChange += new ExplorerEvents_10_SelectionChangeEventHandler(myOlExp_SelectionChange);

Answer 1

This works in Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010:

 

((Outlook.ExplorerEvents_Event)_explorer).SelectionChange += new Outlook.ExplorerEvents_SelectionChangeEventHandler(Explorer_SelectionChange);

You should get an Explorer object from ActiveExplorer() and not assume that there is an Explorer active. Test that it's not null before using the object, or test for Explorers.Count > 0 and if so use Explorers[1].
