Hi Sue Mosher,
I recently brought your book for Outlook Programming. It
helped me a lot in developing my outlook application. I
did a lot of research in Outlook Programming and your book
was the starting point for me.
I'm hit with few issues and all those issues are really
common issues which i think many user will hit with. I
searched across many forums and found you are active in
answering to most of the questions.
In this email, I have listed my issues some of them are
really interesting. If you find time please please help me
resolving the issues.
1) In your book, you have mentioned about Customizing
forms and developing application based on the customized
forms. If we want to customize forms and perform some
operation we need to write code in VBScript. If you write
a single line of code and publish the form, then
immediately Microsoft Outlook will stop showing the
preview. It will give an error saying, "The item contains
active content...."
(refer http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=241205 more
details).
Due to the above reason, I stopped writing my code
in customizing the forms. I'm catching the NewInspector
event and dynamically adding the UI controls using
Microsoft forms 2.0 library.
My question is, If we cannot preview the item, then what
is the use for customizing this forms.
While I'm dynamically adding label control and if I try to
set the MouseIcon property it gives "Automation
Property"..The content you posted at
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/tips/changepointer.htm
doesnt work..If you try to set the Mouse Pointer from
Visual Basic application it doesnt work. It works fine if
it is inside VBScript.
2) Creating and Modifying View in Outlook 2000.
Look at the below article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;262294
Do you know, anyway I can programatically develop and
deploy the views. The soln. given by the above article
doesnt work.
Eagerly looking forward your reply.
Thanks in Advance,
Deva
