How to hide UserProperties from appointment print out

[David]

Hi,
I created an outlook 2007 add-in with vsto 3.0 and added some user
properties to store custom information from form range. When user print out
appointment from outlook, the user properities we added are print out also.
Is it possible to hide this informmation at time to print the appointments?

You could do that if you parse and reset a blob with the user prop
definitions (it is as binary as it gets) using Extended MAPI.

If these properties are always intended to be invisible to the user, not just
in printouts but in the UI, you can use the PropertyAccessor object to create
your own hidden custom properties. It is only the ones in UserProperties that
default to displaying in printouts.

Thanks for the help. I have problem to figure out the name space be used by
appointment.PropertyAccessor to create a new hiden custom property. Could
you please show me how to set and get the the custom property (i.e. my
project_id) by
appointment.PropertyAccessor.
Thanks.

You can use the string namespace described in the Outlook Developer Reference
(also available in VBA Help) article at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb147567.aspx with either your own
custom GUID or the {00020386-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} GUID.
