i was wondering if it's possible to copy a botton in outlook express, the "send message" one for example, and place is in the desktop or in the control bar on the botton or anywhere else.
In particular, I'd like to program my mouse in a way that the right bottn will send a message, my mouse is programmable so I can do it, the point is that i don't know how to export the bottons from outlook express.
thank you!

Do you mean to send a message that you've already written and is sitting in your outbox, or do you mean you want a button to create a new message?
To create a 'New Message' desktop icon/command that you can drag anywhere, right click on the desktop, new, shortcut. Type mailto: in the box, in the next box give it a name like 'new message' or similar, then click finish.

If you have one sitting in your outbox,
Program your mouse to run outlook having previously set outlook to send/receive messages upon startup.

to send a message that you've already written and is sitting in my outbox. Or better, an .eml file on my desktop. I am interested in creating a source for the "send" message only of that specific message saved in my desktop.
But I don't know how to save just the "sendmessage" button of outlook express.
do you know how?

The information Moby posted should provide the functionality you're asking for. It's not a "button" but rather an "icon".

wrong, I'm talking about buttons. the send button, which is not an icon

 

[StumpedTechy]

The buttons are hard coded into the application your not going to be able to move them onto the desktop.

 

[DoubleHelix]

You may be able to put a button on the desktop if you use Active Desktop and code an HTML page.

The icon Moby posted will do exactly the same thing as a button would with a lot less work.

Hi number

As every else has stated...
Sorry, Outlook Express is not programmable like that.

Take a look at this site for "Other" Tools that have been developed by Stephen L. Cochran, Ph.D
http://www.oehelp.com/OETool/Default.aspx
It does not have the Send button, but he has created more Tools for Outlook Express, that you may be interested in, off topic.

If you have Microsoft Outlook, it is programmable, using VBA.

Log on to the newsgroups using Outlook Express,
use for the server
news.microsoft.com
you can then subscribe to newsgroups covering any Microsoft product and get more information on VBA programming for Microsoft Outlook if you are interested.

In Outlook Express messages, the Key board command for Send is Alt+S, is it possible for you to program Alt+S into your mouse?
