Hello,

I need to costumize the view where the messages (in the Inbox, for example)
are listed (between the Folder tree and the Reading Pane).
If, for instance, what I see there now is the Subject of each mail and the
Sender Display name, and I want to replace the sender display name with
his/her email address.

Is there a way to do that programmatically? Can I treat the whole thing as a
Form Region and replace it with my own?
I've looked through all the Outlook2007 artices I could find but reached
nothing..

Thanks!

If you add a new View object to the Folder.Views collection as a TableView
object you can then cast the returned View object to a TableView. You can
then use the methods of the TableView object to add your field and remove
others. You can also directly access the XML for the Folder view and use
that to customize the View.

Unless you're familiar with the required XML you probably are better off
using the new TableView object if you're only supporting Outlook 2007.

Look in the Help for TableView for more information and links to information
on setting the TableView properties.

You can't replace an Explorer with your own. You can replace the current
view for a folder in an Explorer view with a custom view.

If you use code to add a new View to the Views collection of a folder you
can add that view as a table view. You then set the XML or view properties
to what you want.

Dim oFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim colViews As Outlook.Views
Dim oView As Outlook.TableView

Set oFolder = oApp.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
Set colViews = oFolder.Views
Set oView = colViews.Add("MyView", olViewType.olTableView,
olViewSaveOption.olViewSaveOptionAllFoldersOfType)

That line creates a new table view and when saved it will be usable for all
folders of that type. You can use other save options.

Once you have that TableView object you can use the properties of the
TableView to set all your view's properties and formatting. Look in the
Object Browser Help to get information about each property you can use to
set up your custom view.
