Displayname of User Property

[escamoteur]

Hi,

in Outlook 2007 I now managed it to add user properties to my item and to the folder.
Now I was a bit disappointed to see that in the Field chooser of the view of the folder my user property is listes with the property
name and that the new Column in the view also has this name as title.

Don't Userproperties have a display name that can be set?? If not that's not god for localization.

No, custom properties do not have display names. You can, however, use the
ViewField.ColumnFormat.Label property to set the display name within a
particular view that is displaying that field.

I already was fearing that :-(

Can I prevent the user to create his own Views for a folder and selecting fields as new columns? Because then the original field
name would be visible.

I don't know any way to prevent the user from getting to the field chooser
just in a single folder.

But is it possible to allow only one specific view for a folder?

In a folder in the Public Folders hierarchy on an Exchange server, you can
restrict a folder to only views created for that folder, but that won't stop
a user from modifying that view for the current session.

Is this not possible for PST based folders?

No, because a user is always the owner of a folder in a .pst file, with full
rights to create new views in it.
