How can I get the Outlook windows from which is the Ribbon button is called as Form in vb.net?
All callbacks (e.g. button click event handlers) receive IRibbonControl as the parameter. IRibbonControl.Context property can be cast to either Inspector or Explorer object depending on where the button is hosted.

I have an Excel Addin Ribbon that adds buttons to the Excel context menu. The context menu instantiates a form class for performing certain actions. These actions work fine, except for one button, which actually shows the form. The form launches, but the event handlers on the form do not call the their respective methods. So the buttons and other elements on the form will not work.
The cause of the issue was that in the form loading method, InitializeComponent() was called. Removing it from the load method resolved the issue for some reason.
I have a task involving Outlook 2013 and the Skype for Business add-in (formerly known as Lync).
The add-in has a button which changes an appointment into a "Skype meeting".
Pic of button
Upon clicking this button, the following is added to the email body.Pic of default text
My goal is to change this default text (it isn't editable anywhere else). The way I planned to do this is by creating a macro to call the same function which the "Skype Meeting" button does, and then edit the body of the message after the default meeting text has been placed.
I checked for the "name" of the button via the 'Customize the ribbon' window, and within the 'Skype Meeting' group the 3 buttons had the same description (Macro: OnUCAppointmentOnAction)
Using VBA's object explorer I found the details of the method OnUCAppointmentOnAction:
Sub OnUCAppointmentOnAction(asIRibbonControlPtr As Object)
Member of UCAddinLib.UCAddinCallbackInterface
method OnUCAppointmentOnAction
I have added the library reference within VBA to UCaddin.dll (it's called Office Communicator W14 Type Library), yet when I try to call the macro OnUCAppointmentOnAction I get the error "Sub or Function not defined"
Where am I going wrong? Is there is a better way?
Don't do that. That method is implemented by the COM object implementing the IDTExtensibility2 interface that Outlook creates on startup when it loads the addin. In theory, you can do the same, but nobody known what will happen if there are two instances of the addin object instantiated. Simulate a click on the button, then edit the appointment body.
I have an Outlook VBA form, which (on the initialize event) loads various data into menus.
This works in normal usage, however, if you right click, send to (mail recipient) on a file or Send > Email in Word, when you click the button to load the form, the form displays but nothing in any events trigger either on the form load, or on the various click events.
Can anyone offer an explanation of why and how to work around the issue?
You need to handle the NewInspector event of the Inspectors class.
Outlook inspectors shown using Simple MAPI or mailto link do not fire inspector events. This was done on purpose.
Which particular event are you using?

Hey. I need to capture keys from a window handle on my form. This is what my code does:
Use a webbrowser control to navigate to a website
Get window handle of an object on the webbrowser
user32.SetParent() to a new UserControl on my form
Now the object that initially was on the webbrowser is displayed in a control on my form, but any keys sent to that control don't register on the events .KeyDown() and .KeyUp().
So how do I capture the keys from the window handle?
