Office 365, SharePoint, Azure, OnePlace Solutions & Life's Other Little Wonders
Issue Description I’ve been leveraging the Office.js Dialog API recently and found a scenario where I just couldn’t get it to behave properly.

Microsoft is currently running a Hack Productivity competition for creating apps that leverage Office 365 Add-ins and/or APIs to deliver an app that increases user productivity.

When developing Office Add-ins and using Typescript, I’ve found the Office.js Typescript definition file available at DefinatelyTyped to only support a fraction of the objects and properties that are available within the Office.js library. To give you an idea of what I mean, here is a list of properties that are available on the Office.context.mailbox.item... Continue Reading →
