Default How to lauch the Custom Form after changing the Msg Class of a Mai

Hi All,

I have designed a Custom form in Outlook 2003 using the Message Class
type 'IPM.Post'.
The custom form has only two controls,

1. A Combo Box and
2. A multiline & read only TextBox

The functionality of the form is,

1. The combo box is filled with the name of the text files of a particular
folder, which is there in the IIS Server.

To achieve this Web Services is used.

2. Whenever a text file is selected in the Combo box, the corresponding
content of the text file is displayed in the

TextBox. This functionality is also achieved using the Web Services.

I have published this form in a folder (called Testing, Message Class
type is 'IPM.Post') created by me. After publishing

my custom form, the Message class comes like this 'IPM.Post.Testing'.

If I run this form I am successfully able to display all the text file names
and their corresponding content.

My Question is....

1. I am sending a testing mail to myself and I have moved that mail to my
folder (called Testing) and I have changed the

Message class of the testing mail to my custom form Message class
'IPM.Post.Testing'.
If I open this mail, will I, able to see my custom form or not??????? (Right
now I am not able to see the custom form)

2. The above functionality is possible or not.

3. If it is possible how to do it, any direction in this regard will be very
helpful.


Thanks in Advance.

It would have been better if you had created a custom form based on the Message form, i.e. IPM.Note.Testing, instead of IPM.Post.Testing, since you're trying to use it with messages.

Hi,
As suggested by you, I created a new custom form with Message Class
type 'IPM.Note.Testing' and created a new folder with Message Class type
'IPM.Post' (ie, Mail and Post Items option) and published in this folder.
Still I am not able to see the custom form which I have developed.

Am I missing anything or any other option need to be selected further to
see the custom form.

Thanks
Nanda.

Did you change the MessageClass value of your test message to IPM.Note.Testing? When you designed the form, did you remember to click the Edit Read Page button and create a read layout? Did you publish the form with the "Send form definition with item" box on the (Properties) page unchecked? See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=61
