MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / August 2004Listbox in Custom Form
I have modified the Contacts form to include 3 listboxes. Two listboxes uses PossibleValues property to populate and the third listbox has 2 columns and uses a two dimensional array to populate. All listboxes are bound to 3 different keywords fields. I have added the listboxes on page 2 of the form. I have also added a textbox for each listbox on the 1st page of the form and bound to the same field of each listbox. I used a button on the first page to set focus to the corresponding listbox on the second page. Everything works fine when creating a new contact. However, once the contact is saved, the listbox populated by an array does not show all of the values in the array. It only shows the values that are selected and not all the items in the array. Please help. Thanx Sounds like you're doing something to one-off the form, which means it will never run code again so the Item_Open event handler doesn't run again to populate list #3 . Using PossibleValues in code to populate the list boxes is one known cause. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpub.htm#oneoff for others.

Instead, I have used arrays to populate all the listboxes. Yet the problem persists. I also had a reference to SetCurrentFormPage and I removed this. I am still having the original problem. When I look at the Values tab in the listbox properties, even when I use an array it still lists the values in Possible Values. >-----Original Message----- >Sounds like you're doing something to one-off the form, which means it will [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > >. Have you checked the status of the "send form definition with item" box? Republished the form with an incremented version number? If you set the possible values manually in an early design of the form, they'll be on the controls until you remove them. They are not a cause of one-offing.

Thanks Sue for your response. I have tried creating a new form with the list boxes and still have the same problem. >-----Original Message----- >Have you checked the status of the "send form definition with item" box?

Did you check items created with the new form for the obvious symptoms of one-offing -- larger size and the MessageClass reverting to the base class? What about the "send form definition with item" box?

The form is published in the Organizational Forms directory. The "send form definition with item" was never checked on any version of the form. As for the MessageClass I don't know where to look to check for the symptoms. I tried creating a new form again but still have the same issues. >-----Original Message----- >Where is the form published?

Thanks Sue so much for your help. I deleted the all versions of the forms from the Public Folder and cleared the cache and now Item_Open runs everytime. Now I have the opposite problem. The items previously selected in the listbox are cleared when reopening the Contact Item. Is there a way to save the selection? >-----Original Message----- >You can add the Message Class field to any view. [quoted text clipped - 95 lines] > >. Either bind the listbox to an Outlook keywords property or write code in Item_Write to save the data to an Outlook property as a delimited list, plus code in Item_Open to use the information from that property to set the selections.

If the listboxes are bound to keywords properties, they should automatically show the selected items. Does it work if you take out the code you're using to set the selections?

I've tried the easy way of binding the listboxes to a keywords property. That does not work. Is there some comprehensive Guide to VBScripting. I am feeling my way through the dark. I am very acquainted with VBA and somewhat acquainted with VB but it seems the scripting is a different concept. > Either bind the listbox to an Outlook keywords property or write code in > Item_Write to save the data to an Outlook property as a delimited list, plus [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > the listbox are cleared when reopening the Contact Item. > > Is there a way to save the selection? |
