Using a PropertyAccessor custom datetime property in Views
Hello,
I'm having problems getting a datetime property (added using PropertyAccessor) to display as a column in a customised View. I've added the datetime property to the PropertyAccessor using the following code... objMailItem.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/DocumentDate", dtDocumentDate) ....where dtDocumentDate is a Date variable. I've then tried to customise the folder's View to show this custom property as a column. This is the XML excerpt... column typedatetime/type headingDocumentDate/heading prophttp://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/DocumentDate/prop width200/width stylepadding-left:3px;;text-align:left/style editable1/editable formatM/d/yyyy||h:mm tt/format displayformat2/displayformat /column .... but the when I run the application, the this DocumentDate column just displays the word "None". If i changed the XML to use a string column instead of a datetime column, then it displays the date, but the column sorting doesn't work properly because Outlook is treating the values as strings. How do i reference a custom datetime property in the View XML? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using VSTO with Outlook 2007. Thanks, Wayne.

Using a PropertyAccessor custom datetime property in Views
http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string. You are creating a PT_STRING8
property, not a PT_SYSTIME property, why would you expect it to correctly display in the grid as a date/time column? -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Using a PropertyAccessor custom datetime property in Views
Thanks Ken.
How do I add a PT_SYSTIME custom property to PropertyAccessor that would then display as a date/time column in the grid? Do you have sample code for the SetProperty method call and the XML column tag I would need? Thanks, Wayne. "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string.

Using a PropertyAccessor custom datetime property in Views
Why not just use the UserProperties collection?
The http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/ PropertyAccessor namespace does take a GUID, but it also requires a property tag. You couldn't refer to the property by name, since it wouldn't have a name but a property tag. Unfortunately there is no GetIDsFromNames() method in the object model that would allow using a name and deriving a MAPI property tag from it. You would use something like this, given that a PT_SYSTIME has the property tag OR'd with 0x0040. This example uses an id value picked at random, 0x8502: Const Custom_Tag = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/85020040" Note that the const should be all on one line as a continuous string. The GUID is the same as your custom namespace GUID and the id part is composed of the 0x8502 value I selected at random and the 0x0040 value for a PT_SYSTIME. You would use that const with your call to PropertyAccessor.SetProperty() and in your view XML. That should be the only change needed in the view XML. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
