I need to develop an inbox/outbox/sent items type interface and I believe that copying the outlook view would make it much easier for my users.I just can't seem to find any control for VB.NET that copies the feel of Outlook.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP.When I drop a new DataGridView into my Windows Forms, and try to make 1 of the columns a checkBox, VS2005 gives me TWO of each columnType choice:
TextBox
TextBox
CheckBox
CheckBox

Is that normal? Should I use "CheckBox type 1" or "type 2"?Also,When I make 1 of my columns a "checkBox", and then try to use it, the checkBox seems keep turning itself back ON.I turn it ON, and then click on a different column or row, and the checkbox stays ON, like it should.But if I turn the checkBox OFF, and then click on a different column or row, the checkbox magically turns itself back ON. I can't find anything in my code that says "turn it back on". And I've never connected it directly to any data source.

I am able to only add controls that are of type TextBox. My question to you is, can I create a List to hold more than one control type or do I have to create a list for each control type?

When writing some Outlook code in VS2005, I came across a situation that, to me, does not make any sense. For reference, the version of Outlook running on this machine is Outlook 2003.The program I'm writing is designed to iterate through the emails in the inbox, to identify certain types of emails based on their subjects and bodies, and then to generate new emails based on the existing ones. However, the problem that I'm having is with simply iterating through the collection of items that comes from the Inbox folder. Specifically, what happens is that this line consistently fails on items that should be processed:
Current_Item = CType(The_Items.Item(Counter), Outlook.MailItem)
I have Microsofr Office Professional Plus 2010 version 14.0.6029.1 installed. I have the following reference in a VB project:
Microsoft.Office.Enterop.Outlook
The type is .NET and the version id 14.0.0.0 My code includes the following:
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
the following error appears: "Error 14 Type 'Outlook.Application' is not defined "
I am using Access 2007 as an automation server for a custom form in Outlook 2007. I am trying to use the records in an Access table as a rowsource for a Outlook combobox. I have been debugging it quite a bit; I can tell that I successfully grab a recordset and can tell that they are the correct values. The only problem is when I try to add an item to my combobox (cboCategory).I checked the properties of the additem function and it expects a variant, so that's what I give it. However at runtime, it gives me a type mismatch error.

How to read the calendar in outlook from vb.net 2005? I am using Visual Studio 2005
View 9 RepliesI'm having trouble coding some new items into a program of mine. The program loops through you Inbox looking for emails that are UNREAD and have a certain subject line. The subject line in this case, is going to search for: "FAX TO: ###########" (actually, it just searches for FAX TO). Next step, I need the selected email to be FORWARDED to the fax number in the subject line - including attachments. In my code - I've already got the message selected - but I can't figure out how to programmatically forward it? I need explicit code help with the following:
1) Check to make sure there are 10 digits in the original subject line. If not - bail out and ignore that message.
2) Trim the subject line and save the phone number to a string
3) Forward the message (plus attachments) to the [URL]

View 3 RepliesI need to enumerate all the items in an email inbox. However, this code fails
For Each MI As Outlook.MailItem In folderToProcess.Items
'Console.WriteLine("Subject:" + vbTab + MI.Subject)
Console.WriteLine(MI.Subject)
Next
It fails whenever it comes across an item that ISN'T an email (e.g. a meeting request). I've spent the last hour or so trying to find a way of enumerating every item no matter its type. So far all I've come up with is to use the base Object type and then work from there but that's Late Binding and I'd prefer to avoid it if possible.
Has anyone come across this problem before? How can I determine what type of Outlook item it is during enumeration?

View 8 RepliesI believe that this is in the correct forum due to it being about creating an interface item, but if I am wrong then let me know and I'll try and bring this thread to the attention of the mods to be moved to a more appropriate forum. I am currently trying to create a generic navigation control with a similar style to the outlook navigation bar. I have figured out how I would be able to dynamically create the bottom part where you select the menu option, but I'm struggling to figure out how I would be able to create the top part, which can contain any user control that the developer would want.
So basically what I'm trying to figure out is, is there a way to allow for a developer to add controls to a specific area of your user control?If there is a way of achieving that then if anyone knows how to do this;In ASP.Net you have the login controls and with one of them, you are able to have different views depending on whether the user who is viewing the web page is logged in or not. Is there a way of achieving this in VB.Net for a user control that could be set up so that I could have the developer able to switch the view in the designer to show them the view for when a specific navigation option has been selected.
The one thing that I have thought of that could possibly cause a problem is having the capability of knowing when one of the user controls has been clicked, while I haven't figured this out exactly, I believe I should be able to achieve this by having an event for the navigation user control that provides the developer a reference to the control.
While I would hope that I have explained what I'm thinking well, its before my first coffee of the morning so I might have missed out some detail which would help someone to help me if I have then please let me know and I'll provide any details required.Also if what I'm envisioning is Pie in the sky, then let me know and I'll just have to make a base which I would just have to make a more bespoke system.
I have a program in VB.Net that receives mails from Outlook, extracts attachments and inserts the attachments into a table through a query. I would like to put the query/queries in a Try/Catch block, but cannot do so as Outlook exceptions cannot be caught, and it gives me an error, and unless I put a very specific exception, I cannot catch it. Is there a workaround?
Edit:
Try
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Exception is underlined and when I hover on it, it says: "Catch cannot catch type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception' because it is not in 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'". This is affecting all my other code which I'd like to put into a Try/Catch block.
I have written a code in VB.NET using "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library" to create an appointment, task or contact in Outlook.

It always shows the previous lastmodification time. This happens only for those item which got created from my VB.NET code.

I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files.
