Is it possible to access the current new item Id, (pre-creation) from a custom ribbon button action?
For example, I have created a new button within the Appointment Tab, so when someone creates a new appointment or meeting, my button is there on the right hand side of the ribbon. I have that wired up to a Click event. What I want to do here, is somehow access some sort of identifier to the currently being composed appointment/meeting, when that button is clicked.
So I'm wondering;
- does outlook create some sort of ID for the message, even before clicking 'Send' or 'Save' ? And if so is this obtainable?
EDIT:
Just thought I'd add, an alternative/workaround for me would be if I could somehow bind or add data to the appointment, which I could then retrieve through some sort of listener when the appointment gets created (which I would then have the ID for). I'm hoping this will definitely be possible given the other ribbon buttons perform actions on the appointment when it's created?
RibbonControl is passed as an argument to your event handler. RibbonControl.Context will be the Inspector object (or Explorer if your button is on the Explorer ribbon). Use the Inspector.CurrentItem property to retrieve the item.

I am currently generating DocuSign envelopes using DocuSign REST API. I have included a lot of tags and everything seems to be working fine.
I have included radio button group tabs for the same document. For some reason, after I include certain number of radio button group tab, I am getting a strange error. So far, I have added close to 80 radio button groups. Each group have YES/NO - two or more radio buttons. I have setup the value, selected properties of the radio group/radio the same way as other radio button group tab.
Here are the error details:
CUSTOMTAB_IS_INCOMPLETE
A custom tab is not complete. A custom tab requires both a name and a tab label. Radio tabs may only have one radio selected in a group.
The properties of all the radio buttons/radio groups are setup the same way.
Please advise,
Thanks,

There is a provision for creating a custom tab. But in the case of a custom tab, both the attributes Name and TabLabel should be specified. If only one of the attribute is specified in the Tab element then an exception
CUSTOMTAB_IS_INCOMPLETE
is thrown.
I have created the Outlook Web Add-in project and trying th create the dropdown menu by following the link under
https://github.com/officedev/outlook-add-in-command-demo
It seems that dropdown menu just take static list. What i want to do is i have webservices which is returning some destination and link of that destionation . I want to display the list of all those destination under the dropdown and by clicking one of it, it opens the link into task pane.
Any tips ? how to display from webservice in dropdown menu.
It is not currently possible to dynamically populate the dropdowns, your best bet would be to have a single taskpane action, then render a selector page that dynamically shows the available options, then navigate to the page associated with that option.

I cannot find how to add a country to drop down menu when creating account, lead or contact. At the moment I see only 2 countries. I need to add one more and make it as default one. So when I create lead, contact or account I don't need to choose every time. I have all the rights but no knowledge.
Click on the Customize tab on the top of form ribbon and then select the Form option.
Form will open in edit mode, double click on country field and on new window select the Details tab.
Click on Edit button, a new window will open
Add new option by clicking on the green colour plus button (pointed out in screenshot below).
Select the default country from default value drop down (pointed out in screenshot below).
Save and close the Field window
Save and Publish the form.
You are ready to go.
I currently have a custom button in my SharePoint 2013 ribbon which should open a dialog box with a form. The button is only enabled when two or more files are selected. I would like to know how to send information about the selected files to the form.
You can send the selected files/item information to the form using query string parameters.
When u add custom action, in element.xml there is CommanUIHandler element in which you can define tokens as query string parameters to be replaced when custom action is clicked.
{SelectedItemId} and {ItemId} tokens can be your use.

I need to hide the Data Validation button when user switch to particular sheet, but I cannot locate this button in Application.CommandBars.
I have tried to loop out all the CommandBar object and its control name but still not found, has anyone tried this before?
In Excel 2007, the Data Validation button is in the Ribbon UI (not command bars) - you won't be able to disable it without overwriting the existing Ribbon group (GroupDataTools). See this related SO post regarding how to overwrite existing Ribbon groups. To locate the Control IDs of menu groups in the Ribbon, you can download this list of control ids from Microsoft.
