Is the Form published

M

Michael Tissington

If I have an Inspector how can I tell if the form has been published and is
not in design mode?

Thanks.

Sue,

Some good ideas...

The first will idea will certainly work but the second fails when opening an
oft

Maybe there is a way to tell if its an oft ?

be to check CommandBars for the Form menu (ID = 30145) and examine its
Visible property.
An item using a published form, rather than an one-off or default form,

will have two periods in the MessageClass -- e.g. IPM.Contact.something.

Check for the MAPI named property (0x850F, {00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, PT_BINARY). It would contain the form definition on a one-off form item.

I'm not sure what you mean.

I mean opening an oft just by clicking on it, does not make it one-off so I
don't see how looking at

"Check for the MAPI named property (0x850F,
{00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, PT_BINARY). It would contain the
form definition on a one-off form item."

will help telling me if the current inspector/form has been published.

No, that should do it: If that named property is present on the item, it's a one-off. Items created from an .oft file definitely have that property. I haven't tested on items that have been one-offed through other means (poor things).

Maybe you need to give us more of a definition of exactly what you mean by "has been published"? I took that to mean "an item created with a published form."

But is this property set only when the item is saved ?

So for a new item I'm still stuck with no idea if the form has been
published.

No, it's there on a new item -- I just now peeked at one with Outlook Spy.
