hi there

I have written a vb6 program whcih adds controls to an inspector. so
when new mails, or existing mails are opened from within outlook, the
controls are added. all is good.

But, when we open a .msg file from the desktop or as an attachment,
the custom controls are not added. It seems that the inspector events
or the mailite_open event are not fired. loking at task manager,
outlook is started,

does anyone know how we can program this so that controls are added to
the outlook .msg file?

My first thoughst are that it will be done at the windows level, we
use .net or vb6, whcih ever can achieve this

i hop someone knows how to sort this 8-0

many thanks

Jamie

The item should be added to the Inspectors collection even if it does not
fire the NewInspector event in the Inspectors collection. See if running a
timer at intervals to check to make sure all open Inspectors are being
handled lets you work with those items.
