I'm writing a VSTO Microsoft Outlook plug-in. The version destination of that plugin is Outlook 2007 and 2010, so I use the Outlook 2007 add-in (in Visual Studio).
I have some (visual) problem with ActiveMenuBar. In Outlook 2007 it works fine, but in 2010 the ActiveMenuBar doesn't exist; it is replaced with tabControl and ribbons.
I would like to check the version (Application.Version) and if the version is 14 (Outlook 2010) then don't add an item into ActiveMenuBar, but add a ribbon to the Home tabPage.
How do I add the Ribbon into the Home tab page? For example, if I add a ribbon to the Message tab page, I set the ribbonControl.OfficeId to "TabReadMessage", but I can't find the OfficeId of the Home tab.
