Forward item custom form and pooling custom transport provider

[Tomislav Petrovic]

I've written custom form server and can create/send/view etc messages using
it.
However when I select message which is viewed using that form
"Forward" button on Outlook toolbar is disabled (Reply and Reply All are
enabled).
Why is that and what do I have to do so it becomes enabled (I have
implemented Forward verb in my DoVerb method)???

In addition I have written custom transport provider. I'm wandering
why does Outlook invokes its IXPLogon:ool method evey 60 seconds?

Tomislav,

Did you ever get a response to this? I'm having a similar problem, and I
believe it is a rights issue on the Outlook client.

Thanks!

Currently i am trapped in a research for making custon Items in outlook i.e
to make a new Item type in outlook having custom properties and having
custom forms and view for it.Custom form will be used to ADD/UPDATE the
information for the new Item and custom view will represent these custom
Items.

I infact studied some books but couldn't be able to find the way to do it
PROGRAMMATICALLY. Information is available for design time customization but
not through pragramming(having a Addin for it).

Since i am not familier with Outlook much so couldn't be able to come out of
it.
If you can provide some insight into it in terms of programming , i shall be
highly obliged.

If you want a custom form that is not based on any of the six basic built-in
forms, then you are out of the realm of simple Outlook form programming and
into Extended MAPI programming. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/mapi.htm
for resources.

I have never seen, however, a program that creates a new Outlook custom form
type programmatically. Are you sure you're not confusing updating the items
(data records) and updating the form (UI/code template)?
