First of all, I'm not a developer as such, but am asking on behalf of our developers.
We have an add-in for the Outlook calendar, created as a manifest.
Is it possible for the manifest to catch an event, for example like pressing the 'invite' button, without the manifest being open?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

We have developed an Outlook web Add-in but currently when the task pane is open and we open another outlook add-in, our one closes and is replaced with the last selected one. Is there a way to have the task panes stack next to one another so that you can have more than one task pane open at the same time. Appreciate that screen real-estate is an issue but at least 2 would be nice. I thought that I had seen this working somewhere.
Currently there is no way to have two add-ins open side-by-side. We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page. Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered, when we go through our planning process.
You can make your add-in pinnable, this way your add-in will not be closed when another add-in is opened.
New here so please forgive any faux pas!
I have an Outlook VSTO Add-in with a custom ribbon which I currently display only on composing a new message or replying to a message.
I've selected Microsoft.Outlook.Mail.Compose and Microsoft.Outlook.Mail.Read in RibbonType, and my ribbon appears fine on creating a new message or replying, but not when I go to Sent and open a message.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can find a list of the RibbonTypes and what they relate to, or offer any advice?
Thanks!
Most probably you get a Fluent UI error.
By default, if a VSTO Add-in attempts to manipulate the Microsoft Office user interface (UI) and fails, no error message is displayed. However, you can configure Microsoft Office applications to display messages for errors that relate to the UI. You can use these messages to help determine why a custom ribbon does not appear, or why a ribbon appears but no controls appear. See How to: Show Add-in user interface errors for more information.
You could use any idMso value which exists on the compose window and doesn't exist on the read inspector.
Here I am trying implement an email tracking system through office addin command button and I want to change the button-icon immediately when track event is completed.Please give your opinion.
We don't support runtime changes of the button icon. But it's a good idea. Please suggest this at Office Developer User Voice.
I want to write a add-in to backup email and attacked file to One Drive for Business server.
But when i try drag and drop email from Outlook Web Application to my add-in, the mouse show not support.
Any idea for me?
I try drag and drop email to attacked file when create new mail or reply mail.
I try drag and drop email to my add-in, but not support.
Similar question lead me to this:

Unfortunately both the Mailbox API and the JavaScript for Office API do not have any methods or events that facilitate dragging and dropping items in Outlook Online or in the desktop Outlook clients.
I have developed a Mail App (Read Scenario) Add-in for Outlook365. After certain task performed I would like to see add-in pane collapse automatically. Is there any method defined yet in office.js API to do so?
If you are talking about Outlook Online(outlook as a web app), then I am afraid there's no method defined yet in Office.js to collapse the task pane yet. But I agree it is an important scenario and we will absolutely add it to our backlog.
Thanks,
