I would like to show my add-in icon in the menu bar ,like the following the red circle, in the Outlook for Web.
How can I write manifest file to show my icon like that?
I found Script Lab, which is the add-in produced by Microsoft, achieved that.
Unfortunately, today we only allow the add-in to be shown on the email surface at the time of install through the App Store inside of Outlook Web, or using the Customise Actions pane in Outlook. This cannot be declared inside of an Add-in manifest. If you want to raise a request for the feature you can do so on our
uservoice page. We go through the requests on our uservoice page when we go through our planning process.

I made my first Outlook web add-in and I was wondering how I could place the button right here automatically without going into the OWA settings by hand. Is there a way a place it here via the manifest? I tried looking up online the manifest syntax but I could not find how to do it on the official DOCS.
Here's what I mean
This is out of scope for a developer. But users can install the add-in and the add-in can be pinned to the email items for easy access.
We build an Outlook addin and trying to test it on all platforms.
It works on IE and Edge, but not in Windows native Outlook client. The button shows up, but after clicking on it, there is a message "[Our Addin] is working on our request" keeps staying there with a spinner in front of it."
We are trying to debug it using F12Chooser.
But no matter we launch this tool before or after launching our addin, our addin page cannot show up in the chooser.
Have been searching this issue on the Internet for quite a while, but cannot find any related posts. Need some experts help.
Please let me know if I need to provide any additional information. Thanks!
I'm trying to hide the system tray icon of a program that I'm calling with my program. I'm currently working on a program that provides guides and quick resources to other members of my team. I've got the program to load an AutoHotKey file at launch but the AHK icon shows in the System Tray/Notification area of the task bar. I would like to hide that icon.
I'm currently working in VB.net
So, I don't want to hide anything from the taskbar, I just want to hide the icon of AHK from the system tray.
I have done some looking around and seen some things with the Shell_NotifyIcon but I'm not sure how to implement this.
Figured it out. AutoHotKey has a built in feature to hide the tray icon.
HideTrayIcon
Place that inside the script and it will not show it in the system tray.
Are About dialog boxes "dead" in Windows 8 Metro apps? I looked over quite a few apps and screenshots of apps in the Windows store, and did not find any "inspiration".
Is there any guidelines from Microsoft or any article that discusses this issue?
What do you think is the best way to show a dialog box/popup that shows the app name, version, author and a link to the app's home page?
I am thinking of a icon button in the bottom appbar, something like "About Appname", that opens a popup with this information. I am using C# and XAML.
You would place the About into the Settings pane via the Settings Charm using the Setting Contract. You can see the About in almost all of the apps in the Store today. Quick start on adding Settings can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh872190.aspx
Guidelines for app settings here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh770544.aspx
Take a look here.
It lets you create dialogs/flyouts very easily from a UserControl. A few lines of boiler plate and you are done. Takes care of animation, UI management etc.
Can I listen to hotkeys with safari extension?
I want to respond to Cmd+SomeKey with action done by extension, but I've read intro on apple developer and there is nothing about hotkeys.
You can add custom buttons to the Safari toolbar, create bars of your own, add contextual menu items, display content in bars or tabs, and inject scripts and style sheets into webpages.
No single word about hotkeys, and google doesn't find any article about that. So is it possible at all? If it is possible, where can I get additional info?
It can be done -- someone helped me to set it up for my browser window resizer extension. You need to have an injected script that checks for a specific keypress/combo then send a message back to your toolbar or global page. Here's an example on github of an inject script to monitor for specific keypresses (alt-1 to alt-0) and here's an example of doing something with the message lines 92-108 & 131 of this toolbar page.
