Changing the background color of a MailItem
Is there any way to change the background color of a Mailitem in the list
portion of Outlook? I need to display a status for a MailItem given certain conditions and I think changing the background color would be the most easily recognizable.

Changing the background color of a MailItem
Sure, if you create/modify the folder view - click "Automatic Formatting"
button in the "Customize View" dialog. -- Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool - "Dorian" wrote in message news  Is there any way to change the background color of a Mailitem in the list portion of Outlook?

Changing the background color of a MailItem
Sorry, I guess I assumed that since this was a program addin newgroup it
would be assumed that I was looking for programming help. I use VS2008 and Outlook 2007. I've look through the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.View class but I'm not sure that the XML input it takes will do what I need. I'd like to be able to change the background color if a user property is set.

Changing the background color of a MailItem
XML folder view does not expose custom formatting.
Displaying messages in red if the current date is greater than the FlagDueBy property is the only way to make mesages standout uisng the out of the box views. -- Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool - "Dorian" wrote in message ...
