Outlook addin help

I want to create a custom form for some particular mail messages. In that
custom form i need a button control for which i should get the events.I want
to create the custom form in the organizational forms library so that its
avaliable to all the users.
In the NewInspector event i am trying to find the particular mail message
which is opened for which i need a custom form.

But how to create a cutom form for mail message programatically? I want to
do it in vc++.i read that for mail messages we can't set the custom form in
'post'.If not in 'post' then where we will set it?
i tried to do it manually. But i didn't understood for mail message where to
set the custom form so that the default form is our custom form.

Thanks a lotz in Advance..

You can use admin utility to open the custom form instead of opening
the default mail message.
Get Outlook 2000 Forms Administrator from

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011384301033.aspx

You could try changing the Item.MessageClass Property dynamically to
use the value of the custom form.

In the NewInspectors event, I check the message - if it's one I want to
handle, I want to show a totally custom form instead of the default message
form.This i want to do as a com addin in vc++.How to do that?

Try

Set myItem = Inbox.Items.Add ("IPM.Note.MyClass")
myItem.Display

This is with reference to VB, you might very well convert it to vc++

The custom forms are created programatically or should i create it
manually and store it and then show it? How to publish the form in
organizational forms library?
