Default why can't you add a page to a form just like you can add a page to the property page

Why? Customizing a form programmatically is a very bad idea, unless your ultimate intention is to publish the modified form programmatically.

Hi all

I'm trying to add a page of type "Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.UserForm"
to a item in outlook. But i don't know the right way to do this in my
VB.net COM add-in.

i have got this code at the mo:

Dim objPages As Outlook.Pages
Dim objPage As Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.UserForm
objPages = CType(activeClient.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages,
Outlook.Pages)

Dim a As testing1
a = New testing1
objPage = objPages.Add("testing")


activeClient.GetInspector.ShowFormPage("testing")
activeClient.GetInspector.SetCurrentFormPage("test ing")

But i now need to add testing1 on to the form i wish it was a easy as
when u add a property page as the detail expalin below.

So i need to pass the 'a' which is my form in my outlook com add-in

Thanks a lot for any help
