Hi
I need to get hold of the control on the AppointmentItem called "Invite
Attendees". I am capable of getting hold of the controls in the menu:
--
AppointmentItem item = (Outlook.AppointmentItem)this.OutlookItem;
MAPIFolder folder =
item.Session.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar);
Outlook._Explorer oExp = folder.GetExplorer(false);
CommandBarControl c =
(CommandBarControl)((CommandBar)oExp.CommandBars["Advanced"]).Controls["&Plan
a Meeting..."];
c.Execute();
--
But I need to get hold of the "Invite Attendees" button on the ribbon. Any
help would be appreciated.

/Henrik

The idMso for that control is logically enough "InviteAttendees".

What do you want to do with that control?

If you want to "click" it call
Inspector.CommandBars.ExecuteMso("InviteAttendees").

You can also find out if it's enabled, the image, label, pressed status,
screentip, supertip and visibility. Look at the Object Browser for
CommandBars and check out everything listed as *Mso, where * is all the
beginnings of the methods.
