VSTO - Outlook 2007 How to show a form inside an Outlook window?

I am using VSTO with Outlook 2007 and I need to show a form (or user control) inside the main window in Outlook when the user clicks on a specific button on the toolbar, i.e. I need it to appear in the same reading pane that opens and does not open in the window on its own. Is it possible?

Thank you for your time.

Yandos,

you can do it by subclassing, it might be a tricky question but the big primer is complete at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/office/additional_panel_Outlook.aspx



or you can use a commercial product that does this for you like add-in-express
