Default Embedded Outlook folder browser

I was hoping to embed the Outlook folder heirarchy on a form in my addin.
this would be the same hierarchy that is available using
Me.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").PickFolder.
Is available natively or will I need to build my own?

Thanks,

Craig Buchanan

If you don't want to use PickFolder then you would have to construct the
folder tree from scratch.

That's what I figured, thanks.

Do you know where I can find the icons that would match the ones in
Outlook's folder hierarchy. I did a search for ICO files on my machine, but
they weren't the same. I suppose the icons are embedded resources in
Outlook's EXE file that can't be easily extracted.

Correct, the icons are embedded, some in outllib.dll and some in
outlook.exe.

You would have to extract them to be able to use them. Some icon programs
can extract embedded icon resources from dll's and exe's.

They definitely are in Outlook.exe. IconCool Studio worked well to extract
them. outllib.dll doesn't appear to contain any. outllibr.dll in the \1033
folder contains an enormous number, however.

Thanks again.
