Counter Question - Please answer

[×× ×¡×˜×¡×™×”]

I've placed this question n so many forums and didn't get any answer

i need a simple character counter , for counting the simbols that user adds
in body field of MailItem ( in real time ). When user will write some
character in body field the counter field will increase immidiatelly.That
work simple Change Event does fine, but there is no change event on body
message property of MailItem.
Two events PropertyChange and CustomPropertyChange don't work in real time.

The only solution that i can think of is using Threads. What do you think
about it?
Is there a simple way?

Any ans are wellcom..

Well, if you are using a recent version of Outlook (2K, XP, 2K3), you might
be able to provide a solution to the problem using custom VBA-forms. Just
design your own Mail form and handle the change-event of the textbox you
added for the message body.

However, there might be a lot of work left to you: adding text field for
recipients, the subject, actually sending the mail, etc.


Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin, thanks for the answer.
I can replace the "body message" property by some text box, but the problem
is that Change event doesn't fire
