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 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.
I've successfully automatized a process with Open Twebst. (Go through some links, fill the forms and upload images..) So, it helped me to upload images to a HTML page in Internet Explorer 10.
I've just changed my laptop and It has Windows 10 (64bit) and it enables to use only Internet Explorer 11 instead of 10. - Previously the macro was running on Win7 - excel 2013 and IE10 - it was worked perfectly.
Somehow the macro stops when the upload browser window appears. I've already installed the program and added its reference in VBA but I had no luck. I was trying to simulate IE10 but it didn't work. I was also trying to do it in Excel 2013 instead of 2016 but it was the same.
Could someone help me to solve this issue? I searched a lot in this topic and as I can see everyone has the same issue: the VBA can't be able to control that window on his own.
This link contains a tutorial for the method I used:
http://codecentrix.blogspot.com/2009/11/automate-html-file-upload-control.html
HTML tag where I upload: ....input type="file"....
I was trying to modify the security settings in IE11, but it wasn't helped me - I'm not an expert in IE, maybe someone knows how to set it.
I would really appreciate any ideas/ codes.
Many thanks!

I have an App that I inherited in VB6 and have ported mostly to VB.net
When I compile / run the app - it highlights all the files in the current selected folder.
What makes it worse, is it's very difficult to search online as what search terms does one use?
The app was ported to VS 2005 - quite successfully - but this has me stumped...
I have tried commenting out all the code that's run on startup and it still does it, so it must be some sort of background thing...
Any ideas?
I can't find an old version of my app to see if it's changes I have made and I don't know where to begin. See the image:
The top part is before I run the app, the bottom is once the app is running and has focus. I hope it makes sense
Also, if I'm browsing and then run the app, and go back to the browser, when my app gets the focus again, the webpage goes back to the top...
The folder is just an example - Basically when I compile (or later run) my App, if I go to Windows Explorer - when the app gets focus - whatever folder I am in has all its files highlighted. If instead of going to Windows Explorer, I go to a web browser, when the app gets focus the browser goes to the top (similar to Home).
There is Windows Integratio, but I have commented out what I can and still am no closer.
Does this info help?
I found the problem - after going back to the vb6 project and removing everything except for the 5 modules needed to startup and I eventually tracked the problem.
There was some code being called when two edit boxes received focus which called send keys home and end - hence it would go home - select all files to the end. I had deactivated one of the edit boxes to not receive focus and it helped temporarily(obviously until the other box got focus), but since deactivating the send keys when they get focus has helped. Albeit an arbitrary problem, maybe it will help someone in the future..
First of all, I am developing an application in VB.NET, till yesterday it was all good. I saved the project and closed it, now when i started working on that application, i found that there was no way to open the UI area for the application. I am able to see the code behind it i.e. on dashboard.Designer.vb but not the UI. I am able to see the the application after running it using F5. What would be the possible reason for it, and how i can solve it.
Secondly, i tried to find search a lot for this tool but unable to get any, if somebody can tell me what tool is this or any similar tool, it would be of great help.
I was searching for long and found the answer:-
What we need to do is just add the following code in the blank dashboard.vb file
Public Class dashboard
End Class
And this will get the form back.
The second question was answered by #Code Gray
1. Outlook like sidebar and display in Outlook
2. Outlook navigation bar control for .NET application
If I use IE I can visit the website I want and click the 'Next' button and life is good. If I open that same website using the webBrowser control and click the 'Next button I get a javascript error message.
I'm not doing anything in the code to manipulate the website. My goal, eventually, is to have some level of automation; but at this point, I get the javascript error and a pop-up and it screws everything else.
I can hide the JS error from popping up; by setting 'WebBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = True' but the page isn't working because of the error.
The client script might be assuming a full browser is present and trying to access part of the browser outside the Document Object Model (DOM) of the page. For example, maybe the client script is trying to display something on the browser's status bar, or trying to modify a toolbar which isn't available in the WebBrowserControl. There could be numerous similar reasons.
If you do not have write-access to the web page in question to try fixing it, then play with WebBrowser Control properties such as ScriptErrorsSuppressed and ObjectForScripting
Try setting WebBrowser1 Silent property to true.
Actually, you are receiving this problem because when you run your site in IE8 or IE9 on your normal internet explorer desktop app, you are getting either IE8 or IE( rendering, depending on which you have installed. However, with the webbrowser control, unless you take the effort to change soem settings in the registry, the default rendering engine used by the webbrowser control is IE7 (if u have 7, 8 or 9 installed) and IE4 (if you have 4, 5 or 6 installed).
This is why you are having the problem, if you want help changing the rendering engine version for your webbrowser control, do a google search as there are many examples on SO, and i have provided this answer in some of my previous posts on this tag/topic. feel free to search or ask me.
Let me know how you go.
