Add-in Express 2008 for Outlook Express 2008

Add-in Express 2008 for Outlook Express 2008 has very high efficiency and speed. With this visual RAD toolkit you can easily develop secure, managed, isolated and deployable plugins for Outlook Express on Windows Mail.

Add-in Express provides Outlook Express with a unified extensibility model based on familiar interfaces and objects of the Microsoft Office and Outlook, and gives you visual designers for advanced customization of Outlook Express menus and toolbars. It allows adding custom menu items to the main Outlook Express menu and Inspector menu; using custom controls such as simple buttons, pop-up, dropdown, split buttons and separators on your toolbars; embedding custom forms into the main Outlook Express window and any e-mail windows; creating view and form regions for the main Outlook Express window, mail compose and mail read windows and more.

Another key benefit of Add-in Express is that it makes your Outlook Express plug-ins version neutral, i.e. you write your code once and have it work across Outlook Express 6 on Windows 2000 and XP through Windows Mail on Vista. Add-in Express directly supports Visual Basic .NET (VB .NET), Visual C#, and C++ in Visual Studio 2003 and 2005, as well as RemObjects Chrome.

Functions:

1. Add custom menu items to the main Outlook Express menu and Inspector menus
2. Create your own toolbars for the main Outlook Express window and mail windows
3. Use simple, pop-up, dropdown, split buttons and separators on your OE toolbars
4. Develop regions for the Preview pane
5. Create view and form regions for the main OE window and mail compose and read windows
6. Build regions for the Folder List, Contacts pane and Outlook Bar

1. Outlook Express extensibility. Using Add-in Express components and tools you can quickly extend the Outlook Express GUI, customize OE main menu and toolbars as well as menus and toolbars on mail windows. For the Explorer and Inspector windows, Add-in Express allows adding your custom controls such as menu items, buttons, pop-ups, dropdown buttons, split buttons, etc.   
   
2. Unified Outlook Express Objects. Add-in Express reflects the Outlook Object Model to Outlook Express and, in that way, lets you benefit from your Outlook development experience. For the first time, you use Outlook-like objects and events such as Application, Folder, MailItem, Explorer, Inspector, Attachment objects and NewMail, SelectionChange, ItemAdd, FolderSwitch events when accessing Outlook Express.  
3. Windows Mail on Vista . You needn't bother about version-related pitfalls of Outlook Express. With Add-in Express you write the code of your OE plug-in once and have it work in Outlook Express 6 on Windows 2000 or XP and Windows Mail on Vista.  
   
4. Isolation experience. A dedicated loader (ADX Loader) isolates each add-in into its own AppDomain. Now you can build strongly typed, managed, easily deployable and secure extensions for Outlook Express that extend its GUI and automate its objects.
5. Efficient project templates. Add-in Express supplies your Outlook Express projects with powerful project templates that contain all necessary functionality for developing Outlook Express plugins and centralize all technology-specific components through visual designers and modules.  
   
6. Advanced view and form regions. On the component market, Add-in Express is the first development tool that can make any your forms parts of Outlook Express views and forms. With advanced view and form regions you can embed your forms into the main Outlook Express window and any e-mail windows.
7. Component-centric programming model. Add-in Express contains a set of components that make your coding productive, and your add-ins feature-rich and effective.  
   
8. Deployment experience. To each Outlook Express solution, Add-in Express adds a special setup project based on the built-in Visual Studio technology.
9. Visual designers. In most cases, you use visual designers and Outlook Express-related components instead of routine coding, say, when customizing Outlook Express menus and toolbars and handling Outlook Express events.  
   
10. True RAD - you write applied code only. Add-in Express is a time-saving tool. It is completely based on the Rapid Application Development (True RAD) paradigm and allows you to significantly accelerate the development and deployment for OE.
