In SharePoint 2010 i've seen many people are using Modal Popup window to show list contents. How to achieve this in sharepoint 2010.
You want to look for information on the Dialog Framework.
This training module should help you get started: Module 10: Creating Dialogs and Ribbon Controls for SharePoint 2010
I think you are looking for the Shapoint 2010 ECMA Script Modal Dialog:

I've tried many things and read up quite a bit but I cannot figure this out.
I cannot create an add-in so I have to use VBA.
I want to add a a button to the right-click context menu when I right-click on a user. Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible to customize the context menu in Outlook. See Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010 for more information.
But VBA doesn't allow to customize the Fluent UI in Outlook, you need to develop an add-in instead.
I'm using controls from DevExpress to develop desktop application in VB.NET. Now, I want to add context menu also from DevExpress. But I cannot find such control in toolbox. Is it missing only in my version or DevExpress has not developed such context menu yet?
Thank you in advance
The XtraBars Suite allows you to create multi-purpose popup menus.
These menus can be used as dropdown lists for toolbar or ribbon buttons

I am developing an outlook 2007 add-in which is based on an existing outlook 2010 plugin. I managed to get most of the features working, because most of them were backwards compatible. However there are some I could not, because 2007 simply did not have certain features. \
Backstage view
Main ribbon
My question is - what would you suggest for an equivalent interface? Where would you put in outlook 2007 something that was in backstage view in 2010?
After much deliberation I decided to use a custom menu. All features available through the backstage view in 2010 will be converted to menu items in the custom menu in Outlook 2007.
Also buttons from the main ribbon will become items in the same custom menu.
This solution, while not as elegant as Fluent UI will work, I think, because all of my plugin's functionality will be available from one spot.
Can any one tell me the code to refresh the ribbon controls in the sharepoint 2010 ribbon bar, using javascript.
RefreshCommandUI();

When using Outlook 2007 or 2010 you can bring up the Advanced Find dialog by pressing Crtl+Shift+F.
I have performed advanced queries against Outlook contact items and calendar items, but would like to show Outlook's native dialog box for users to perform more advanced searches instead of trying to recreate that dialog box within my app.
I've searched, but have been unable to find details on how to show that dialog box from within a .NET application.
Not sure why I didn't get the Tumbleweed badge for this question, but I got the answer over on the MSDN forums.

The Advanced Find dialog is not exposed in Outlook's object model and therefore cannot be called from a .NET app.
So, I'm working on re-creating the dialog box in WPF.
