Explorer object has a property - Selection which contaisn all the items selected in the active explorer.You can check this property to determine the current item in Outlook.

Outlook.Explorer currentExplorer =  this.ActiveExplorer();
  if (this.ActiveExplorer().Selection.Count > 0){
 Object selObject = this.ActiveExplorer().Selection[1];
        if (selObject is Outlook.MailItem)
        {
            Outlook.MailItem mailItem = 
                (selObject as Outlook.MailItem);
            itemMessage ="The item is an e-mail message." +
                " The subject is " + mailItem.Subject + ".";
        }
}
