Re: Publish form Issues "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 1/15/2007 4:30:43 PM It looks more or less OK to me. Does it help any if you cast everything as you retrieve it? Are all your objects OK if you step the code in the debugger? -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "spareway" <spareway[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1168877934.312069.315800[ at ]11g2000cwr.googlegroups.com...

Re: Publish form Issues "spareway" <spareway[ at ]gmail.com> 1/15/2007 5:42:26 PM Hi Ken, All my objects look ok, except for the inBoxFolder. I am not sure if this is an issue but when i look at the UserPermissions property of the inBoxFolder object it says: <error: an exception of type: {System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException} occurred>. could this be the problem? Also the DisplayName is set to IPM.Note.XXX. Is this ok? What is display name used for anyway? thanks, craig Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook] wrote: [Quoted Text] > It looks more or less OK to me. > > Does it help any if you cast everything as you retrieve it?

Re: Publish form Issues "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 1/15/2007 6:24:23 PM A problem with the Inbox would definitely be a problem with your code. However, I don't know what the UserPermissions property is in the Inbox folder, it's not an exposed property in the Outlook object model. DisplayName defaults to the custom MessageClass unless you enter a different string for that property when the custom form is published. It's not an important property for anything other than what shows up in the custom forms manager. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "spareway" <spareway[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1168882946.044337.200400[ at ]v45g2000cwv.googlegroups.com...

Re: Publish form Issues "spareway" <spareway[ at ]gmail.com> 1/23/2007 11:11:41 PM I figured out a solution. The problem was with the second parameter of publishform. string dllPath ; object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; Ol.MailItem theItem; Ol.FormDescription theDesc; dllPath = GetAssemblyPath(); //Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal) theItem = (Ol.MailItem) this.OutlookApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(dllPath + formPath, missing); theDesc = (Ol.FormDescription) theItem.FormDescription; theDesc.DisplayName = formName; theDesc.PublishForm(Ol.OlFormRegistry.olPersonalRegistry,missing ); theItem.Close(Ol.OlInspectorClose.olDiscard); Marshal.ReleaseComObject(theItem); Marshal.ReleaseComObject(theDesc); On Jan 15, 1:24 pm, "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslo...[ at ]mvps.org> wrote: [Quoted Text] > A problem with the Inbox would definitely be a problem with your code. > However, I don't know what the UserPermissions property is in the Inbox > folder, it's not an exposed property in the Outlook object model. > > DisplayName defaults to the custom MessageClass unless you enter a different > string for that property when the custom form is published.
