Outlook Controls

[GS-SE]

I'm trying to find a way to get to the "Sticky Notes" control (and its
functionality) that is in Outlook in my own application outside of Outlook.
Does anyone know if there is just one control that makes up the Sticky Notes
app or if there are several? Also, would anyone happen to know where I
could look to find it or them??

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

The answer to all your questions is No.

Awsome...thanks a lot.

However, even if the control isn't a stand-alone control that you can
inherit from or use (like a textbox or listview), there must be several
controls that make up that control. If there weren't, then Outlook wouldn't
be able to use it.

Of course, I'm certain that M$ has made it quite difficult to find the
information.

So does anyone else have a better answer?

The controls that Outlook uses for its forms are private to Outlook and are not reusable. (And the sticky note is not itself a control nor does it support the addition of controls as the six basic Outlook forms do.)
