MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming VBA / May 2006How to customize Views programatically?
Hi, I'm testing an OL based application so I have to manipulate OL as "user like" as possible. I'm focused on the Mail Grid (A Supergrid control). I tried to do it with a testing tool but the problem is that the supergrid seems to be an Owner Draw control so, there seems to be no way to identify any controls but the grid itself. Is there any additional way to use it but OL Automation? I need to be able to work over the grid itself (sorting, filtering, grouping, etc). Can those actions be made by OL Automation? Is it possible to simulate Drag and Drop operations? How can I configure the Grid (columns to show for example)? I saw that a View has an XML property with this information. Is there any Object that represent this XML or it is supposed me to modify the XML directly? Any other way to do that will be welcome (I tried With MSAA "Microsoft Active Accessibility" but it didn't offer me additional options to manipulate the Grid) Thanks a lot LucasC In Outlook 2002 and 2003, you must modify the XML directly. MSDN has articles at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/ODC_CustomViews.asp and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/ODC_XMLViewDef.asp See http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.aspx?forumid=4&messageid=19 for additional sample code. Outlook 2007 provides a full set of view-related objects and properties.

Hey! Good news... Wolfram Thanks a lot!! Have yu got any idea about how to simulate user actions over the grid (like Drag and Drop operations). Is there any interface we can use to test it more close to the user actions than Outlook Automation. LucasC In Outlook 2002 and 2003, you must modify the XML directly.

The only drag-and-drop operaton that's significant in an Outlook folder view is moving items between groups in a grouped view.

Sure. Just change the value of the property that's used for the grouping and then save the item.
