Form C++ Forum

Which forum should I post requests to for c++ form info.

Investigation forms server in c++ and have the sample working but which to
ask some design questions - should I post here??

Answers on a post card please )

There is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm....program_v ba

Or if you're building an Outlook add-in use microsoft.public.outlook.program_addins

Thanks for the response.

I have tried posting to the add ins group but no response so far. I have
tried the forms group but this is mostly VBA posts. I don't see a specific
one for c++. We may have the necessity to implement a forms server - is
there a starting point for each of the base forms in c++??

At the moment I have had to design from scratch which bearing in mind I only
want to extend the standard forms with additional information seems a little
excessive.

My icons problem which sent me down this route unfortunately has been
answered by a developer on outlook and unfortunately you only have one entry
point for the icons - the PR_ICON_INDEX of -1 forces outlook to look at the
registry for the icon for that message class which leads us to only be able
to have one icon per messageClass. It was a nice idea to have more pending
on state - if anyone has any ideas of how to paint over the standard icons
after outlooks ONPaint drop me a line.

Thanks.

If you are building custom Outlook forms with Extended MAPI and C++, then your questions would be best handled in a discussion group for Extended MAPI issues; see http://www.outlookcode.com/archive0/...htm#discussion

I am not aware of any way to extend the standard forms using C++ and ExMAPI, but that's not my area of expertise.

Outlook 2007's form region feature supports multiple icons.
