Visual themes in Outlook 2007 addin in Delphi 7

1) How can I enable using visual themes in Outlook 2007 addin created in Delphi 7 (using forms)? In Outlook 2003 I create Outlook.exe.manifest, but Outlook 2007 crashed (tested only on Windows Vista) on startup (missing library MSVCR80.DLL).

2) How can I create separator item to menubar? (creating button is App.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars.Item['Standard'].Controls.Add(msoControlButton, 1, EmptyParam, EmptyParam, WordBool(true)))

Thank you, Pavel

  1. I've failed to do that to. Tried to include XPMan unit, adding a manifest to de homedir of my addin dll, but nothing helped.
  2. You can try to set the BeginGroup property of the button where you want the separator. I didn't test it, but that should do the trick.
