How to control the time to show the "compose page" or "read page"?

[Gibson Chen]

I created and published a outlook form on a folder,when a checkbox "submit"
on it has not been selected, all the documents in this folder should be open
as "compose page", otherwise as "read page". but defaultly, all the docs are
opened as "read page". How to control it?

Thanks,
Gibson

Outlook controls it, not you. The user sees the compose layout when they create a new item or work with a draft message. Otherwise, they see the read layout. Plan your application accordingly.

Sue Thanks,

Do I have any method to set a message as a draft.

Thanks,
Gibson

A draft message is simply one that has been created but not yet sent.

Is it possible to convert a saved post's status to be draft.

I've never tried. You'd certainly have to change the MessageClass from IPM.Post to IPM.Note, but I suspect it would appear as a sent message.
