Refresh Problem?

[Kenny]

Hi I have an application VB Working with OutLook 2003 in OutLook there is a
personnal formulaire when you wanna create a new mail.

The problem is that as soon as I click for a new mail and laod the form
after that the mail icon in the inboxmail never change again for an unread
message even if I read it the icon is still a mail close, and to make it open
I have to close outlook and relaunch it without clicking the create a new
mail button;

I should have done something wrong in the form or forgot something I don't
really get this one and need some big help.

Thank you

Best regards

Items created from custom forms use only one icon, the icon set on the (Properties) page in design mode.

Actually, that is not really the point.

Usually when you got a mail you have the little mail close icon appear in
the inbox and when you open it after the icon is changing into a little mail
open.
In my case it's working well until I click on the "new mail" button as soon
as I do that any mail already unread or any new mail when I would read them
the icon won't change and the only way to have it change is that I have to
relaunch outlook and don't use the "new mail" button.

So I'm kind of lost about this I don't really know where to search for the
cause it looks like an internal bug from outlook, and I really need to figure
this out like if you know a function to reInit outlook setting that I could
execute right after that I have clicked on the "new mail" button and get
things still work out.

Thank you having an interest.

There is no setting related to that feature. Does the problem occur even when your add-in is not loaded? Have you checked the MessageClass of the items affected?

Hi,

Yes the problem occur when my add-in is not loaded so I supposed that it's
from the form I did, but don't really know why?

For the messageclass de mailitem.unread is at false like it's supposed to be.

I don't really know what to do

The Message Class would be IPM.Note.something.
