I don't have a custom form, I'm using the existing forms with my own
message classes. I just copied the existing form .CFG file, changed
the message class and icons. From posts I'd seen this appeared to be
how to do what I want. But I found out I was missing one more step. I
needed to install my .CFG file using MAPIOpenLocalFormContainer() and
InstallForm(). Works great now!
