ticker tape

[JP Ronse]

Hi All,

Being responsible for a team that provides real time monitoring services 24

hours on 24, 7 days on 7 (XMas, New Year included) and mail is our way to

have a written confirmation of notifications, we are using a shared mailbox.

This is working fine but the problem is that this mailbox receives some 100

mails per day. Mails we are in CC, but also in To.

On some of these mails, we have to react within 15 minutes, which is really

short. Therefore I was thinking to capture incoming mails and check them

against certain criteria. When the criteria is met, I would like to display

a kind of ticker tape message.

I have little experience with Outlook programming.

A form with textbox is an option but I prefer an API window-textbox that can

be closed with <escape>.

Any idea how I could get this working. Your help will be very much

appreciated.

Wkr,

JP

If you want an API window that really has nothing to do with Outlook

programming. How you'd do that depends on lots of things like the version of

Windows, the language you plan to use and what version of Visual Studio you

plan to use. For any Outlook coding some of what you could do would depend

on the version of Outlook you plan to support. There's really not enough

information to provide any answers, where they'd even be relevant to Outlook

programming at all.
