Repurpose Recurrence button in calendar view outlook 2013

Question

Hi,
in outlook 2013, when you select a recurring appointment item with in calendar, recurrence button does appear in main menu(was not there in outlook 2010 or 2007). I need to re-purpose that button.
I have used the techniques suggested in the blogs , where I have successfully re-purposed the recurrence button when opened in inspector window, but with in caleandar view it does not seems like events are being intercepted. so clicking on recurrence button
does not do anything.
Thanks

Hi Eugene,
i have used the following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
<commands>
<command idMso="Recurrence" onAction="RecurrenceClick" />
</commands>
</customUI>
this is my ribbon class
<Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(True)> _
Public Class Ribbon2
Implements Office.IRibbonExtensibility
Private ribbon As Office.IRibbonUI
Public Sub New()
End Sub
Public Function GetCustomUI(ByVal ribbonID As String) As String Implements Office.IRibbonExtensibility.GetCustomUI
Return GetResourceText("Myproject.Ribbon2.xml")
End Function
#Region "Ribbon Callbacks"
'Create callback methods here. For more information about adding callback methods, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=271226
Public Sub Ribbon_Load(ByVal ribbonUI As Office.IRibbonUI)
Me.ribbon = ribbonUI
End Sub
Public Sub RecurrenceClick(ByVal control As Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonControl, ByRef pressed As Boolean, ByRef cancel As Boolean)
MessageBox.Show("huhu" + control.Id)
cancel = False
End Sub
#End Region
#Region "Helpers"
Private Shared Function GetResourceText(ByVal resourceName As String) As String
Dim asm As Reflection.Assembly = Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
Dim resourceNames() As String = asm.GetManifestResourceNames()
For i As Integer = 0 To resourceNames.Length - 1
If String.Compare(resourceName, resourceNames(i), StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) = 0 Then
Using resourceReader As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader(asm.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceNames(i)))
If resourceReader IsNot Nothing Then
Return resourceReader.ReadToEnd()
End If
End Using
End If
Next
Return Nothing
End Function
#End Region
i am overriding CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject function when addin starts
Protected Overrides Function CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject() As Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonExtensibility
Return New Ribbon2()
End Function
now with this Recurrence click is being fired when inspectore window opens, which is not desirable and when i click recurrence button in inspector window.
this function is not being called when i click recurrence button with in calendar, note that the recurrence button with in calendar appears whne you select a recurring appointmnent in outlook 2013. i need to capture this as well. i do not know if this has
got different IDmso.
Thanks
