Custom Forms in Outlook
I want to create a new custom form for use within my C# outlook add-in.
Do I need to create the form myself in Outlook and then somehow distribute with my add-in? How do I go about this process? Thanks so much

Also how do I get items to use this form.
I really want to create a new folder in outlook and have items in this folder use the new messageclass and new inspector form.

Custom Forms in Outlook
Create the new form with Outlook's form designer, then include code in your project to publish the form using the FormDescription.PublishForm method. (See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/distributeforms.htm)
To make a form the default for a folder, use CDO 1.21 (not officially supported in .NET) or Redemption to set the folder's PR_DEF_POST_MSGCLASS (0x36E5001E) and PR_DEF_POST_DISPLAYNAME (0x36E6001E) properties. If you're not familiar with MAPI property tags, see http://www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Jim" wrote in message ...

Custom Forms in Outlook
Thanks Ken, so as I understand it. I can design a form in Outlook, then
distribute that with my addin. Then anytime I add a new item I can use that form and publish it. So this will create a new messageclass which I could assign to an object.What if upon starting my add-in I want to create a new folder and have this folder use my form and also have the default form be the form I designed. Also do the messageclasses have to extend from existing. So do I have to have IPM.Contact.MyForm or can I have IPM.MyForm ? Thanks so much.

Custom Forms in Outlook
You can only add a completely new message class using Extended MAPI and C++
or Delphi, not a task I'd even want to consider. So IPM.Contact.Whatever it is. See the information Sue also posted about publishing a form using code and changing a folder default message class. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Jim" wrote in message ...
