Here is the code I use to set the properties...
setProperty(objDocItem, "User", strUser)
setProperty(objDocItem, "Description", strDocumentName)
Here is the "setProperty" function being called above...
Sub setProperty(ByRef objDocumentItem As Outlook.DocumentItem, ByVal
strPropertyName As String, ByVal strPropertyValue As String)
Try
objDocumentItem.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty(SCHEMA_NAME &
strPropertyName, strPropertyValue)
Catch ex As Exception
LogError("setProperty(Outlook.DocumentItem, '" & strPropertyName
& "', '" & strPropertyValue & "') - Exception : " & ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
And here is the View XML snippet for the two columns...
<column>
<heading>User</heading>
<prop>http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/User</prop>
<type>string</type>
<width>61</width>
<style>padding-left:3px;;text-align:left</style>
<editable>1</editable>
</column>
<column>
<type>string</type>
<heading>Description</heading>
<prop>http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/Description</prop>
<width>200</width>
<style>padding-left:3px;;text-align:left</style>
<editable>1</editable>
</column>
No error is logged by the "setProperty" function. I can see the properties
have been set correctly when I use the IMessage feature of OutlookSpy, but
the values are not displaying in the columns of the view if the document is a
PDF.
Thanks,
Wayne.
