How to create Addin button in New Message Window and Inbox Window of Outlook 2007 using VSTO.

This code adds button to the main window of Outlook 2007.

            //Define the existent Menu Bar
            menuBar = this.Application.ActiveExplorer().CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar;

            //Define the new Menu Bar into the old menu bar
            newMenuBar = (Office.CommandBarPopup)menuBar.Controls.Add(
                Office.MsoControlType.msoControlPopup, missing,
                missing, missing, false);

I am using Visual Studio 2005 with VSTO installed for Office 2007
