Hi *

I would like to implement a form replacement for outlook mail compose. That
displays the same form as the original mail composer, except that it injects
a new cntrol between the message and the subject. From VS .net environment.
Is this possible?
I know that outlook forms + VBS can does almost the same thing. Except that
it sends a winmail.dat, and buttons do not look exactly like in the original
compose form.

Is this possible? Or I must create a form and use the stupid vbs editor and
tools to develop this solution?

Thnx,
Tamas
 
Are you trying to create a mail form that can be sent and received and look
like what you designed? A Form Region would require registration of that
form region on every recipient's computer, preserving the data across the
Internet and various other things that require RTF and custom forms, and it
won't end up working right anyway the vast majority of the time.

See the information on sending custom forms over the Internet on
www.outlookcode.com. What you want to do would be even more unlikely to
work. And every recipient would have to use Outlook 2007 or later too.

I'd rethink your project, in my experience it just won't work in practice.
