how CISCO able to integrate webex plugin for outlook mac

Question

I am developing a plug-in for outlook mac, I have search all over Google and community and everyone told me that its not possible to make Add-in for Outlook mac because it's simply doesn't support and I admitted but I have just seen the WebEx plugin for outlook and I am wondering how they are manage to do so? If anyone have idea I would really appreciate it

Answer 1

You could use Applescript, which is supported in Outlook 2011 for Mac: http://www.officeformachelp.com/outlook/using-applescripts/

You can find other examples here: http://www.scriptsformac.com/script-download-index/outlook-for-mac-scripts/

Similarly, you will need to find the corresponding API points for adding menu items. One way would be to understand how the API(the objects and functions) available in VBA map to Applescript. Then see how the menu/toolbar items are added and do the corresponding stuff in applescript.

Also, see this Where to find what commands/properties are available for AppleScript in Microsoft Outlook 2011
