How to add Outlook toolbar under the subject line in C# add-in?

[Artem Moroz]

I need to write an Outlook 2003-2010 plugin using C# that adds two buttons to the Message Ribbon Bar (#1 on the picture) and a several buttons toolbar or a Form Region under the "Subject" line (#2 on the picture). See image here: http://i.piccy.info/i9/8ccdf69246fbcd9171d488747c6ea189/1398291704/206810/736482/editmessage.png[^] Currently I managed to add a button to the Ribbon toolbar, but it appears in the "Add-ins" Ribbon Bar. How do I add buttons to the "Message" Ribbon Bar? And how do I add the Toolbar #2 ? I currently have no clue about how to add it. Please help me! I now have the following code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
using Office = Microsoft.Office.Core;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace SendLaterToolbar
{
public partial class ThisAddIn
{
Office.CommandBar newToolBar;
Office.CommandBarButton firstButton;
Office.CommandBarButton secondButton;
Outlook.Explorers selectExplorers;
Outlook.Inspectors inspectors;
Office.CommandBarButton _objEmailToolBarButton;

    private void ThisAddIn\_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        selectExplorers = this.Application.Explorers;
        inspectors = this.Application.Inspectors;
        selectExplorers.NewExplorer += new Outlook.ExplorersEvents\_NewExplorerEventHandler(newExplorer\_Event);
        inspectors.NewInspector += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.InspectorsEvents\_NewInspectorEventHandler(AddToEmail);
        AddToolbar();
    }

    private void newExplorer\_Event(Outlook.Explorer new\_Explorer)
    {
        ((Outlook.\_Explorer)new\_Explorer).Activate();
        newToolBar = null;
        AddToolbar();
    }

    private void ThisAddIn\_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    private void AddToolbar()
    {

        if (newToolBar == null)
        {
            Office.CommandBars cmdBars =
                this.Application.ActiveExplorer().CommandBars;
            newToolBar = cmdBars.Add(

First check here[^] whether that's a supported scenario.

I belive yes because I saw other plugins doing such integration.
