Add info to calendar-view

[Klaus Jensen]

Hi!

I have an idea for an outlook-plugin, which requires me to display text and
graphics at the top of each day in calendar work-week mode.

I have created a simple illustration of what I want to accomplish, check it
out here: http://www.icatech.dk/outlook.gif

My questions are:

1. Is it possible without nasty hacks?
2. How do I get started?

I use Visual Studio (2003 and 2005), and i am completely new to
outlook-plugins. Pointers on where to look for inspiration will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Outlookcode.com is the best place to look for pointers... outlook calendar
doesn't support images so you'll probably need 'nasty hacks'.

Since you are new to outlook dev, I recommend starting with an outlook
development book...

Thanks, Diana.

I will take a look at outlookcode.com. If i was to get a book on
outlook-development, could you recommend one? I am MCAD (for vb.net) and
MCSD (old one) - and have many years as a developer under my belt - just
nok with outlook.

I want to use .Net of course - and Outlook2003.

Thanks in advance
