To get GAL of non default address book from multiple accounts in outlook

Question

I have two domain accounts configured in my outlook, for example xxx@domain1.com and yyy@domain2.com.

There are 2 address books (Please refer to the picture attached). I want to show user to SelectNameDialog by adding the recipients from non-default account's address book. But it adds the names to the selectnamedialog from the default address book and displays.

C# code :

Outlook.SelectNamesDialog snd = app.Session.GetSelectNamesDialog();![AddressBook Select name dialog][1]

How to get non-default account's address book programmatically.

Make sure Outlook automatically selects the relevant address book based om the currently active store (Ctrl + Shift + B to show the address book, Tools | Options | "When Opening the address book, show this address list first", make sure "Choose automatically" is selected).

Programmatically, use the SelectNamesDialog object and its InitialAddressList property.
