XP Styles with custom form
Hi,
I have designed a C++ COM addin with a custom contact form that was derived from the standard contact form. Essentially I am adding a couple command buttons to the form. I publish the form and open it up only to notice that the XP Styles are non existent. I have implemented XP Styles within the DLL but still the XP Styles are not to be seen. I have seen a couple articles on the NET that state XP Styles are not available for custom forms. Is this true?

XP Styles with custom form
Yes, that's true. You will need to wait for Outlook 2007 and its new form regions feature. Or, consider not customizing the form at all and add your buttons instead to Inspector.CommandBars.

XP Styles with custom form
Do you mean Windows XP themes? In that case your code must explicitly paint
the controls using the themes API - outlook.exe does not include a manifest as a resource that would cause Window to automatically paint all controls in outlook.exe using themes.
