Adding icon to custom view

[Tom at GSD]

Hello,

I am designing a custom view for Outlook 2003 which the preview window is
not visible. This view is for a private store and folder. My question is –
basically - can I change the icons in the Intray list of messages. I would
like to use custom icons to indicate the custom priority of each message. I
have looked at the following link and I see bitmap elements, but I think they
are pointing to an index in an image list.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/odc_customviews.asp

Is there anyway to add a custom icon to the list?

Thanks,
Tom –

I got redirected to
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa155658(office.10).aspx from your
link and I don't see anything there that looks like a bitmap reference.

As far as I know there's no supported way of putting your icons there in the
view unless you use API calls to somehow find the position where the icons
are for each row and overlay your icon over the existing icons. Not
something I'd want to have to code.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the reply. That is what I figured. I was hoping that there would
be an easier way.

Do you know where I can find more information on the Table View (SUPERGRID)?
I think I will subclass and try discover what events I have to handle.

Thanks again.

I've never seen any useful information on the SuperGrid and when I've
examined it in Spy++ I've never seen any sub-windows related to the
SuperGrid.

If you do find something please post it.

Okay - if we find anything we will.
