Hi

I have written an application in VC++;
I want to have a custom field in outlook say "Mobile" and i want to place a
icon into that field..

_MailItemPtr olMail( pApp->CreateItem(olMailItem));
UserPropertyPtr kkk = olMail->UserProperties->Add("Mobile",olYesNo,true,
vtMissing);
olMail->Close(olSave);

I am able to create a field and see the same thing added onto my field
chooser.
My Question is
1). I am using olYesNo as Type, but i dont know how to make it as a icon
field.

Thanks in advance
Sanjay

Whether a particular field displays an icon is governed by the column settings for the view that displays that field. Custom icons are not supported.
