Changing the color of a task using macros

V

vasanth

Hi all,

In Outlook, I need to change the color of a task in the task view using
macros.

This can be done manually as follows:

Step 1:In task view, click the link Customize Cuurent View.

Step 2:In the window that opens,select "Automatic Formatting".

Step 3:In the Automatic Formatting dialog box,add a new rule and set
condition for it.

I need to automate these steps using macro. Or is there any other way of
doing this?

I would like to know one more thing.
At present,in outlook,if a task is overdue then the task (font) color
changes to red.
In my application, I need to change the color based on different
conditions(programatically).
I tried this by creating a custom form in task with user-defined fields and
set the forecolor property of the textbox to the desired color. But only the
value is getting reflected in the task and not the color.
Could you please let me know if there is a way to change the color of the
task?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vasanth.
