Outlook 2007 categories seem to work a bit differently. Before that

categories were kept in the registry. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.asp.

Does that help?

Ok, the "Category" key appeared once I manually added a category in

Outlook's category manager. Anyone an idea why this is the case? Where

does Outlook find the categories before that?

If you want to change the appointment item depending on the category

you could use the event that gets fired when an item is created. There

you check if the category is your custom one and then modify the item

accordingly.
 
not like that i want to apply label for my newly cerated appointment.

when i give like this

oAppointment.Categories = oAppointment.Categories + ";" + "my new" + ";" +

"Business";

oAppointment.Save();

when i check the appointment in outlook category is coming in cateogry box,

but it is showing "my new ( not in master category list)"

means it is not adding master category list.

when i give category is business ven though the appointment is not is

business color

how can i select business label color

Thanks

In Outlook 2003 the master category list won't be added to the registry

before you add the first item of your own. And adding a category directly to

an item by code doesn't put it into the master list. That is you always have

to write that yourself into the registry. See this for some more details:

http://www.vboffice.net/en/articles/outlook-categories#t6

No matter how you add a category in Outlook 2003, that has nothing to do

with the color labels for appointments. Labels aren't exposed by the Outlook

object model. Here's an example for how to add labels:

Not sure if I understand you. You don't have to use any controls or third

party software. As for the label appointment example, instead of using the

Redemption you can also use CDO 1.21, which comes with your Outlook.
