Hello,

I would like to change the MiniIcon of an email.

I use this code but it doesn't change it :

Dim currInspector As Outlook.Inspector =
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveInspector
Dim message As Outlook.MailItem =
CType(currInspector.CurrentItem, Outlook.MailItem)
message.FormDescription.Icon = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\FORMS\1033\TASKACCL.ICO"
message.FormDescription.MiniIcon = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\FORMS\1033\TASKACCS.ICO"

message.FormDescription.PublishForm(Outlook.OlForm Registry.olDefaultRegistry)
message.Save()

Could you please help me ?

Have a nice day

Regards

Ghislain

Does the form have a custom message class?

If you look at an item using the form with a MAPI viewer such as OutlookSpy
(www.dimastr.com) or MFCMAPI do you see a property there PR_ICON_INDEX? If
so does it have a value of -1? You would need to set that if it's not set
to -1 and is there.

That property isn't exposed in the Outlook object model so you'd have to use
a different API such as CDO or Extended MAPI or Redemption if not using
Outlook 2007. For Outlook 2007 you can use the PropertyAccessor object with
a property tag of "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x10800003".

What do you mean it doesn't work? That's the correct property tag for
PR_ICON_INDEX. That property may not be there, it's not a required property
on an item. If it's not there Outlook automatically uses the default icon
for that item type. If it's there an index value means Outlook is using one
of its standard item icons, if it's set to -1 it uses whatever icons you
specify in the FormDescription.Icon and .MiniIcon properties.

That was not a link, but a DASL property name that you need to use when
calling PropertyAccessor.SetProperty

Hi,

So seems like it's possible to set any icon to MailItem.

Is it possible in VSTO 2005?? For Outlook 2003???



Thanks.

VSTO has nothing to do with it. Outlook 2003 doesn't have a
PropertyAccessor() object and provides no access to the PR_ICON_INDEX in the
Outlook object model. Therefore you'd have to access that property using an
alternate API. Since Extended MAPI (C++ and Delphi only) and CDO 1.21 are
both not supported for use with managed code your alternatives are MAPI
wrappers such as Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) or MAPI33 or such.

sample regarding this.


Thanks in advance.
