VSTO Issue : Customize the user properties dialog in Outlook 2007

yousry

Hi fellows,
I want to customize the dialog box that appears when you double click
any entry in the address box dialog in

outlook 2007. I searched the web with many saerch keys but no luck.

The dialog box seems to show the properties of an ExchangeUser object.

If anyone has Windows Live Messenger installed he will find the
Actions button customized with 2 new items

in the drop down action list.

I think VSTO is the best way to go but I do not know where to start

Appreciate any hints

Thanks

I don't think this is possible. While Outlook is highly customizable,
it doesn't go to that level. If anything, you would have to replace the
form for the entire contact and then specialize the behaivor for the address
textbox.
