I am currently engaged in developing a add-in for MS outlook 2007. I need to open a new Live meeting(conferencing request) window programmatically. This is exactly same as the action performed when the new-> Live meeting button is clicked. Is there any possibility to fire the click event of the "Live Meeting" command bar button? Please help as I am new to office programming.
Thanks in advance.
I've found the solution for this question and learnt a lot about office programming as the project goes on. Actually we cant execute the live meeting button directly. There is no api for conferencing add in for outlook. Live meeting corresponds to the AppoinmentItem in outlook programming. So we have to use com object model to open a new AppoinmentItem and fill the body of it with appropriate details about the live meeting(actually a conference on microsoft office communications server).
We have to use the microsoft UCMA sdk to create a new confernce on OCS. Although there are many sdks available to program for ocs, ucma is the best sdk.
Refer this to create new appoinment on outlook

I am developing an Excel Add-In to list, select, and retrieve an OData source. I'd like to be able to call a macro that opens excels Data / Get Data / From Other Sources / From OData Feed and fills in the URL field according to the user's previous selection.
I've searched microsft documentation and google but find no mention of executing a macro from the Office javascript library.
The Office JavaScript API doesn't provide anything for that.

According to Microsoft Help: Enhance collaboration with Chat in Microsoft Office. I would expect to see the chat icon for Excel Desktop application, but I don't:
I am using Microsoft Office 3654 ProPlus. I have access to the chat window using this workaround:
Searching online, I found a similar problem, but for Excel online: Unable to find "chat" button when co-authoring excel online, but my issue is only with Excel Desktop application. I am able to see the chat icon with Excel online.
I was trying to add it to the Ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar, but that feature does not belong to such sections of the excel header. I am pretty sure its something easy, but I cannot find it.
According to Microsoft, they eliminated the chat button for Excel Desktop App although the Excel Office Online has this option. Now they offer to access to chat function (Join Chat Group) in the way it is explained in the question. Microsoft calls it: "a design change".
So far it happens for the following version:
version 1907(Build 11901.20218)
version 1908(Build 11929.20254) latest one

If you don't like it, the only option is to dislike this feature (File->Feedback) from Excel Desktop application.
I'm trying to create an outlook web add-in using Node.js in which I am trying to do the following things:
make an API call on receiving email
label emails
move emails to spam
get all emails of a specific folder
Is this possible? If Yes then how? Please give me the links to any documentation or tutorials for the same.
These things, I am able to do in the desktop VSTO COM add-in for the desktop application.
For developing an add-in for outlook please refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/
Make an API call on receiving email: Using the current add-in api set available this is not possible.
label emails: Categories API is available in the preview version: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/outlook/office.categories?view=office-js
Move emails to spam: You can use MS Graph API in the add-in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/message-move?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=cs
Get all emails of a specific folder: Please refer to MS Graph API for this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/message-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=cs
I´m new to the addins, just want to perform a simple task as creating a button with a link in the taskbar that opens a browser and that´s it.
So far created the project based on ms tutorial and everything is working great (with fixed certificate problems).
To my understand this should be as easy as to create a button with an ExecuteFuncion actions mapping to a javascript function with a window.open
e.g.
function windowOpen(event)
{
window.open("https://www.microsoft.com");
event.completed();
}
Thanks for the help,
Regards,
André
For security reasons, Outlook does not support window.open directly inside of Add-ins. To open a window in an Outlook Add-in you can use the displayDialogAsync API (documentation here.) We recommend this guide to understand end-to-end usage of displaying a dialog in an Add-in.
I am building an add-on for Microsoft Excel. I would like to see a notification popping up displaying name of the company whenever the add-on is added to MS Excel.
I tried using xlcAlert, But it demands user interaction (The user needs to click "OK").
I would like to use some banner, which comes for a second or two and then banishes away.
Please guide for the same.
How about a form which loads when the add-in does, and then unloads after a set interval?
