How to Remove an Item from the Office Orb Menu in Outlook

Question

Folks,

I've been working on ribbon development in Office 2007, but I'm running into an issue that's driving me a bit nuts. I want to remove the "Permissions" option from the Orb menu of a new mail message in Outlook 2007. I am not having any luck. I'm using VS2008 and VSTO 3. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Rex

Answer 1

ahh, it turns out I was modifying the XML in the wrong part of the schema. The correct modification would look something like:

<officeMenu>
    <splitButton idMso="PermissionRestrictMenu" visible="false"/>
  </officeMenu>
  <tabs>

To clarify for other readers, you cannot actually delete this feature as a menu option, as per the xml above you can set visible to false, and hide the command.
