FIX: DoCommands Not Called On Some Context Menu Items (197848)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Development Kit (EDK) 5.0
- Microsoft Outlook 97
This article was previously published under Q197848 SYMPTOMS
A client extension developed for the Microsoft Exchange client may not
respond to events in the Microsoft Outlook client.
CAUSE
The DoCommands event is not fired in all of the same places in Microsoft
Outlook that it is in the Microsoft Exchange client.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Microsoft
Outlook version 8.03 and Outlook 98.
MORE INFORMATION
Both the Microsoft Exchange client and Microsoft Outlook implement a method
for developers to customize the user interface and behavior of the
respective clients. This method of customization is known as extensions.
Outlook based its implementation on the Exchange client implementation.
However, the Outlook client does not call the DoCommands method of a client
extension in all of the same places that Exchange did. The biggest
indication of this is when customized features work differently or not at
all in Outlook but still work as expected in Exchange.
