Programmatically show the 'Flag for Follow up' dialog

[Evgeny.Br]

Hi,

I use VSTO 2005, OL- 2003.

I developed some OL addIn and i want to add feature concerning
reminders.

Is it possible and how to show the 'Flag for Follow up' dialog through
code??,
(this dialog appears when user right click on mail item --->Follow up
--> Add Reminder).

Suppose i will have button (AddReminder) on OL's toolbar, and when user
will click this button the
'Flag for Follow up' dialog will aappear for currently selected mail
item.



Any ideas?, suggestions???


TNX in advance.

You can't show that dialog using code. You can replicate it and then set the
Outlook properties from the settings in your own dialog.

TNX, i understand.

Maybe ADD REMINDER DIALOG POSSIBLE to show via code?, without creating
my own dialog like the OL one.

About the only thing you can do is find the CommandBarButton object that
opens that dialog (which is only available in an open item's Inspector) and
display the dialog. You have no control over the dialog or how the settings
get transferred to the open item.
