Hi All,

I want to over write the ok button click event of contact edit form.

I am using the below code but it is not working. Please guide me what i am doing wrong in it.

public override bool HookAddCode(object sender, string hookName, params object[] parameters)
{
try
{
switch (hookName)
{

case "FormContactEdit.Load_end":
MessageBox.Show("inside contact edit in plugin");
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
catch (Exception pcex)
{

return false;
}

}

First, if you want to overwrite the method OK click, this: needs to be this: Next, your hook doesn't exist in the program. Meaning this: will never get hit.

To test it, you can build your own version of OD with this: added to the beginning of butOK_Click in FormContactEdit.

Lastly, to make it so you don't need to keep building and redistributing your own version of OD, you will need to submit a hook request for that hook I just posted.
The pattern for that can be found here
