Custom Form in C#

[Mike]

I am looking for a basic example showing how to display a custom form in a
COM add-in in C#.

I have created a custom form: "IPM.Appointment.PC"

I wish to display it in an event handler which I have created. The handler
is called when a user clicks on a new menu item in the Action menu (I have
the menu item and the handler working).

Basically, I want to create an appointment item and have my custom form
displayed instead of the normal appointment form.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

if you have the Custom Form published, you could create the Item by your
MessageClass.

Use the Folder.Items.Add Method:
Example for a ContactItem:
myContact = (Ol.ContactItem )myContactsFolder.Items.Add
("IPM.Contact.MyContact" );

If you want to create a Item from an .oft File Template you must use the
Application.CreateItemFromTemplate() Function.

myOutlookApplication.CreateItemFromTemplate ("C:\test.oft", myFolder);
