It helped, but not quite the way I needed. Maybe I should explain a
little more what I am doing. First, I need to get the EShellWindow
because I'm adding a new button to the toolbar (Maybe there's another
way to do it, but using the UiManager is the only way I know). And
then I want to know when the user is selecting a message from the
message list so I know to which message the user is working on.

By the way, do you know how the message list is called?

Thanks!
