MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / June 2005Property Page Title
I've written an Outlook Add-In in VC++/ATL (VS .Net 2003). When adding the property page I want pass in an instance of the PropertyPage object instead of the ProgID. The problem with this approach is that Outlook ignores the PropertyPages.Add method's Title parameter. I've added a Caption property (dispid is DISPID_CAPTION) to my object's interface and the ATL property map (I've tried using PROP_ENTRY and PROP_ENTRY_EX) but it's not working. If I set a breakpoint on the property map it's never called. Has anyone else done this? Any suggestions would be appreciated. TC AFAIK this is a known problem. The only workaround is to pass the prog id instead of a live object. Why can't you pass a prog id?

That's what I thought but I wasn't able to find any documentation on the problem. (I know, there are a lot of undocumented Outlook bugs.) I tried retrieveing the PropertyPage after adding it but that fails too. I can pass the ProgID but it would be more efficient to pass in an instance of the PropertyPage. I wanted to initialize it with the component that reads and writes the configuration settings instead of creating a new instance. Thanks, TC > AFAIK this is a known problem.

But we have to use what we can... Since you can implement both the addin and the property page in the same dll, ol' good global variables is the way to go...
