Hi all,
I am facing a strange problem in Outlook 2007. I have an add-in that
displays an additional command bar in the Outlook main (Explorer) window.
The command bar has a button that is enabled when exactly one email is
selected in Explorer view, and disabled otherwise. I do the following
sequence: click on an email: button is enabled; click on a group header such
as "Today", "Yesterday", etc: button is disabled; click on an email again
and so on. After a few tries I can see that a few seconds pass between
clicking on an email and button getting enabled. As if there's some delay
between the button gets enabled and repaints itself.

I can see that SelectionChange event of the Explorer objects fires on time,
immediately after email is clicked. It just takes time for the change to
become visible.

An interesting observation: there's a OneNote button on the Outlook toolbar
created by the Microsoft's own OneNote add-in. This button exhibits exactly
the same problem! At the same time I have OutlookSpy installed, and its
buttons do not exhibit this problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
Leonid

OutlookSpy enables/disabled its buttons based on the ECE callbacks rather
than OOM events.

Hi Dmitry,
Thanks for your suggestion to use ECE callbanks. Using this technnique I
have overcome my problem, or so it seems now.

Thanks,
Leonid
