Private Sub IDTExtensibility2_OnAddInsUpdate(custom() As Variant) ' Occurs when the set of connected COM add-ins changes, that is when ' any other add-in is connected or disconnected. ' The custom argument is ignored. End Sub

Private Sub IDTExtensibility2_OnBeginShutdown(custom() As Variant) ' If the COM add-in is connected, occurs when Outlook begins its ' shutdown routines. ' The custom argument is ignored.

End Sub

Private Sub IDTExtensibility2_OnConnection(ByVal Application As Object, ByVal ConnectMode As AddInDesignerObjects.ext_ConnectMode, ByVal AddInInst As Object, custom() As Variant) ' Occurs when the COM add-in is connected. ' The Application argument is the Outlook Application object. ' The ConnectMode argument specifies how the COM add-in was connected. ' It can be ' ext_cm_AfterStartup Add-in was connected after Outlook started, ' or the Connect property of the corresponding ' COMAddIn object was set to True ' ext_cm_Startup Add-in was connected on startup ' ext_cm_External ' ext_cm_CommandLine ' The AddInInst argument is the COMAddIn object that refers to the current ' instance of the add-in itself. ' The custom argument is ignored. End Sub

Private Sub IDTExtensibility2_OnDisconnection(ByVal RemoveMode As AddInDesignerObjects.ext_DisconnectMode, custom() As Variant) ' Occurs when the COM add-in is disconnected. ' The RemoveMode argument specifies how the COM add-in was disconnected. ' It can be ' ext_dm_HostShutdown Add-in was disconnected when Outlook was ' closed. ' ext_dm_UserClosed Add-in was disconnected when the user ' cleared the corresponding check box in the ' COM Add-ins dialog box, or the Connect ' property of the corresponding COMAddIn ' object was set to False. ' The custom argument is ignored. End Sub

Private Sub IDTExtensibility2_OnStartupComplete(custom() As Variant) ' If the COM add-in connects at startup, occurs when Outlook completes ' its startup routines. This event does not occur if the COM add-in is not ' connected when Outlook loads, even when the user connects the add-in in ' the COM Add-ins dialog box. ' The custom argument is ignored. End Sub
