Hello,
I'm having problems getting a datetime property (added using
PropertyAccessor) to display as a column in a customised View.
I've added the datetime property to the PropertyAccessor using the following
code...
objMailItem.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/DocumentDate", dtDocumentDate)
> ...where dtDocumentDate is a Date variable.
I've then tried to customise the folder's View to show this custom property
as a column. This is the XML excerpt...
<column
<type>datetime</type
<heading>DocumentDate</heading
<prop>http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/DocumentDate</prop
<width>200</width
<style>padding-left:3px;;text-align:left</style
<editable>1</editable
<format>M/d/yyyy||h:mm tt</format
<displayformat>2</displayformat
</column
> ... but the when I run the application, the this DocumentDate column just
displays the word "None".
If i changed the XML to use a string column instead of a datetime column,
then it displays the date, but the column sorting doesn't work properly
because Outlook is treating the values as strings.
How do i reference a custom datetime property in the View XML? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using VSTO with Outlook 2007.
Thanks,
Wayne.
