outlook Recall message c#

Question

I am trying to build code for recalling message in the outlook using c#. I have a customized tab in the outlook and have the button. I need to build a code on click of button(after selecting sent mail) , it has to call the recall message functionality of outlook.

I know the limitations for recalling messages. But still organization wants to continue with this. Let us know if anyone have c# code to the call the recall message button. Thanks and Regards,

I have found the answer myself.

 1: private void btnRecall_Click(object sender, RibbonControlEventArgs e)
    2:        {
    3:            Outlook.MailItem oldMailItem = GetMailItem(e);
    4:            Inspector inspect=  oldMailItem.GetInspector;
    5:            inspect.Display(false);
    6:            inspect.CommandBars.ExecuteMso("RecallThisMessage");           
    7:        }
    8:
    9:    private Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem GetMailItem(RibbonControlEventArgs e)
    10:        {
    11:            // Check to see if a item is select in explorer or we are in inspector.
    12:            if (e.Control.Context is Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Inspector)
    13:            {
    14:                Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Inspector inspector = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Inspector)e.Control.Context;
    15:
    16:                if (inspector.CurrentItem is Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)
    17:                {
    18:                    return inspector.CurrentItem as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem;
    19:                }
    20:            }
    21:
    22:            if (e.Control.Context is Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Explorer)
    23:            {
    24:                Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Explorer explorer = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Explorer)e.Control.Context;
    25:
    26:                Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Selection selectedItems = explorer.Selection;
    27:                if (selectedItems.Count != 1)
    28:                {
    29:                    return null;
    30:                }
    31:
    32:                if (selectedItems[1] is Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)
    33:                {
    34:                    return selectedItems[1] as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem;
    35:                }
    36:            }
    37:
    38:            return null;
    39:        }
