Outlook Worm - 27 Sep 2004 20:23 GMT
Hi,

I have few questions here

- Can I Use Outlook Form Controls in VB/VC++ ? If YES then Please let me
know How? Like if i want to use The 'To Recipient Control in VB/VC
Dialogs" ?
- Can I embed Outlook Form inside a VB Form or VC++ Dialog?
- Can I Change the Outlook Form Title from "Test -
Message(HTML)(Design)" to something like "My Form" Only.
- Can we hide/Disable all Toolbars, Controls and Menus on the Form. I
mean Only the Form Controls should be visible ?

Any Help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Nauman

No.

No.

No. The title will always include the item subject.

You can disable toolbars with CommandBars methods. I don't think you can
disable the menu toolbar itself, but you can disable all the controls on it.
Note that such changes will affect **all** open items and therefore may not
be desireable.

when you can easily write your own form in VB and have the added benefit of
a rich IDE to code and debug your form?

Hi,

I need to make the Interfcae really cool, which is not possible in
Outlook.
