Outlook 2010 - 插入文本

Question

In Outlook 2010 using C#.

From a ribbon button, how do I add text to the top of an email body?

This is what my goal is: User clicks on New e-Mail, then clicks on a custom ribbon button and the button adds text to the top of the body field

click another button and that same text is removed

Kind of like a mood stamp

Can someone point me in the direction of how to do this?

Answer 1

Here's a quick outline:

• Subscribe to the click event of your ribbon button.
• Get the Application.ActiveInspector()
• Get its Inspector.CurrentItem
• Attempt to cast it to MailItem
  • If the cast fails, assume that it is some other Outlook item type (eg contact) and that you shouldn't do anything with it
• Read the mail item's BodyFormat
• Depending on the format, you will need to alter Body , RTFBody , or HTMLBody
  • The first one, representing the plain-text body, is trivial; you just prepend your text to it:
    mailItem.Body = "My text\\r\\n" + mailItem.Body;
  • The other two will require you to take care of formatting syntax
