check or uncheck the column with Icon format

[sd]

hello
I've a custom message form with a user defined property say "chk".I've
customized view for "Inbox" to display this prop. & formatted this
column to show Icon instead of yes/no values.The view is displayed
properly but I'm not able to check/uncheck this checkbox.Is it
possible to check/uncheck this checkbox without opening the message ?
will adjoined form region be any use for this purpose?
I can check the checkbox if I create customized view for Contact
folder.But not for "Inbox" folder.

thanks

You need to set in-cell editing to be on for that view.

I've also combobox on my custom message form & now Userproperty
associated with this combobox is added to custom view so user can edit
it.
Is it possible to display this field as combobox in custom view (so
user can view list of values & select from the list) ? It is currently
displayed like a textbox.

Thanks

If in-cell editing is enabled and the XML setting in the view for that
column is <type>i4</type> then it will show up as a drop-down.

I've enabled in cell editing & set the type to i4 for the userproperty
column in the view but still unable to display column as dropdown list
in the view.What else is missing ?When I checked Importance column
(already present in view) display format, it is "Bitmap with poplist"
hence shown as list.But since my column represents a userproperty of
type string ,it's display format is "Text" only.Do I need to change
the userproperty type ? This userproperty is associted with a combobox
present on custom message form.I'm using Outlook 2003.

You would need to have the correct type of user property of course. A string
can only display one value.

Once a user property is created it cannot be modified as to type, so you'd
need to create a new user property.

I tried with types other than text but still unable to display the
column in view as dropdown list.The view is tableview.What needs to be
the type of userproperty so that column representing this userproperty
in view will be displayed as dropdown list ?

OK, it looks like the Sensitivity column, which does have a drop-down, uses
an internal only setting for the property that's not available to you. So it
looks like you can't display a drop-down in the table view unless it's for a
built-in property. For a user property it would display only the selected
value (text or number) of your set of values. Sorry for misleading you.
