Command Button to popup Public Mailbox Inbox

[Jon]

I have a Form in Outlook with a command button called Move To. When you
click the button, I want it to popup a tree view of my Public Mailbox Inbox,
where you can select a folder and then. Then when you click Ok, the value
gets stored in a field.

How can I get this tree view of my Public Mailbox Inbox? Is it possible?

Thanks,

Jon

The Outlook PickFolders control doesn't let you specify which store to show
or open with, it shows all loaded stores, and returns the selected
MAPIFolder object.

To be able to show only one or more desired stores and to open at a specific
point in a specific store you would have to construct your own folder picker
dialog using some sort of treeview control and populate it yourself using
your own code.

Ok, thanks for that. May I ask where you can get a treeview control from? Is
it something that you would buy or are there free treeview controls out
there?

Both. I use the treeview from MS that comes with Visual Studio and is part
of the Windows common controls most often (MSCOMCTL.OCX) but there are lots
of 3rd party treeview controls out there. What you'd use depends on whether
you're programming using COM or the .NET framework and which language you
intend to program with.
