Thankyou!!! I’m working on creating addins for outlook Office 2007 and you’ve just made me very happy

Any chance you might do the same for ribbon controls…? Or perhaps you know somebody else who has?

Thanks Janne, Glad this was of some help to you. I’m afraid that I have not yet played with Office 2007 and so can’t help you with the Ribbon…

VERY useful reference, thank you!! This was really hard to find online, but this post is exactly what I was looking for, a list of the icons with their FaceID number for my VS05 addin.

You could automate it with a little bit of code. I’m not sure if it’s ok to post it here, so I won’t. However, if you’d like I can provide it. It iterates through faces, ignoring empty ones, and saves them as files (in any format). It also demonstrates how to load custom images.

On a side note, it appears that there are 7607 icons (many are duplicates).

Hi,

Any ideas about all the sudden not being able to get command bar working in MS outlook 2003. Not able to debug as well. I have uninstalled the .NET Framwork 2.0 and the SDK based on other blogs.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank kebab! I was able to use the icon FaceID reference using VB6 COM add-in with Outlook 2003. Haven’t yet tried in Outlook 2002.

Thanks,

Very nice. Saves me the trouble to iterate through commandbars to see what the FaceId of a certain icon is.

Does anyone know if we’re legally allowed to use the FaceId icons in commercial Excel VSTO document customizations? The VSTO customization adds the command bars which have buttons set with FaceId values.

You would HAVE to find a hard way to do this - see http://skp.mvps.org/faceid.htm for a little utility that will help. Pip pip!

Thanks for the post. The link below was recommended in chapter 40 of Professional C# 2008 to see available images.

This is a macro-enabled spreadsheet that displays icons available in Office with the related Image IDs. You will need to enable the developer tab in Excel to see those buttons.

Man,

Thanks for publishing this. Great find… really came in handy today. Also, in C# for 2007 Outlook Add-in, make sure the CommandBarButton.Style is set for IconAndCaption.

Anyway thanks again!
