Redemption access AppointmentItem Label from outlook

[entvex]

Hello !

How do I access the outlook calendars label ? from Redemption

when I say label I mean those labels http://img153.yfrog.com/i/outlooklabel.png/

The property for the label is the color, which is
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062002-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/82140003"
as a DASL property you can use in Redemption. That's a PT_LONG, so you set
it to an int value such as 1 for Important, 2 for Business, etc.

The actual text for the corresponding label colors is stored in a PT_BINARY
property on the folder, the property has a property tag of 0x36DC0102
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x36DC0102" in DASL).

You'd have to reverse engineer that binary if you want custom label text.
Offhand in a MAPI viewer it looks like it's an array where a default entry
is represented by a Unicode null (0x0000) and a custom label is then stored
in Unicode in little-endian style ("F" would be stored as 0x4600.

Here's an example for setting the color:

Hello I have tried getting the ID

Like this Appointment.GetIDsFromNames("0x36DC0102", "PT_BINARY")

But I can't seem to get any vale out if it ? what am I doing wrong

What you're doing wrong is that 0x36DC0102 is the actual property tag you're
trying to get from GetIDsFromNames(). Don't call that method at all, just
use that tag.

Getting the label color value like that would be fine

But how do I get the ints ?

I've fix it

this way Debug.WriteLine("Color: " +
Appointment.get_Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/
{00062002-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/82140003"));

Thanks for all the help =)
