How to create custom Field for emails programmatically
Hi Sue,
Thank you.
I tried your suggestion in the VB Editor attached to
Outlook 2000. Unfortunately, my code doesn't seem to work.
What I did was to send an email from a different account
which comes to the Inbox.
Here is the Inbox Item Add Handler.
============================
01 Private Sub objInboxItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
02 Debug.Print "hi there from objInboxItems_ItemAdd"
03 Dim myUserProperty As UserProperty
04
05 Set myUserProperty = Item.UserProperties _
06 .Add("Test", olNumber, True, RAWFORMAT)
07 Item.UserProperties(1).Value = "66"
08 Set Item = Nothing
09 End Sub
============================
Is it because
a) of "Set Item = Nothing" in Line 09 ?
b) I had already defined a Field called "Test" in the
Inbox folder.
P.S : I created a custom Mail form with a text item and
bound it to the custom field "Test". When I sent a mail to
myself using this form, I am able to see the Custom Field
values in my Inbox Folder.
Thank you very much for your inputs,
Best Regards,
ANJAN. B

>Yes, the addin can use MailItem.UserProperties.Add to add
the property to an item you create in the Inbox. That
creates it in the folder as well. You then discard the
MailItem.
