Reading (Displaying) MailItem with Custom Form Paulem0071 11/21/2008 10:02:01 PM Does anyone have any experience displaying an existing MailItem with a custom MessageClass? When I filter and retrieve an affected Mailtem, I get an DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND exception when calling mailitem.Display(false) Here is a code excerpt: string filter = [ at ]"[ at ]SQL=(""urn:schemas:httpmail:subject"" like '%test%' "; filter = filter + [ at ]" AND ""http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x001a001e"" = 'IPM.Note.Special.Note)"; Outlook.Items items = (Outlook.Items)folder.Items.Restrict(filter); foreach (object o in items) { OutlookMailItem f = o as Outlook.MailItem; //this fails with DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND f.GetInspector.Display(false); //so does this f.Display(false); //just do one break; } Thanks a lot.

Have you checked the returned restricted Items collection to see if the items.Count property is greater than 0? -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Re: Reading (Displaying) MailItem with Custom Form Paulem0071 12/1/2008 3:48:11 PM Yes, that is a typo. Also, I am getting objects returned. Is the proper way to display a mail tiem (that is, open it as if you double clicked on the message in the inbox), Outlook.Mailitem.Display(bool)? Thank you.

Re: Reading (Displaying) MailItem with Custom Form "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 12/2/2008 2:25:10 PM Yes, Mailitem.Display(bool) is correct and you really should only use false as your bool value. Modal Inspectors usually cause various problems. That error you get (DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND) is usually a C++ type error that occurs when there are problems with an IDispatch pointer, so I'm not sure why you'd see it with C# code. It would indicate that there are 0 members but that can't be if your restricted Items collection's Count property is greater than 0, or that an attempt to set a read-only property was made. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
