Outlook Worm - 02 Aug 2004 06:55 GMT

Hi All,

I would appreciate if someone can answer following questions. Code
snippet help will be highly appreciated.

1- Is it possible to That i get rid of CC and BCC buttons on "Select
Names" dialog, which shows Contacts to select from?

2- We have a custom form, which has its own SEND button on the form [not
the default Send Button]. Can i save this custom form in Outbox [How?]
if i am currently Offline, So that when i get Connected, i open this
item and Send it accordingly ?

3- Can I Integrate my errors information in default "Send/Receive Errors
Window" in Outlook, which is a modeless window displaying errors in case
some problem occured ?

4- Is it possible to get rid of the standard Outlook toolbar in the
invite window whose first button is "Send"? (Ideally, we would just get
rid of the buttons like "Send" we don't use and keep the buttons we
want, like "Save as a Draft" which is useful.

Regards
Nauman

1) You would have to (a) suppress the Address Book command on the toolbar
with CommandBars and substitute your own code to run the CDO
Session.AddressBook method, then transfer the addresses. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/selectnames.htm . Depending on your
Outlook version and mail environment, the technique might trigger security
prompts and need recoding with Redemption, which would have to be installed
on each machine.

2) There should be no need to do this If your own Send button invokes the
Send method, then it's just like sending an item manually. Again, you may
need Redemption.

3) No.

4) Yes, you should be able to disable any button using CommandBars
techniques. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/tips/commandbarfun.htm
