Hi ALL,

I'm using VSTO 2005, C# 2.0 WinForms, Redemption for Otulook.

I have winForm - mail message ( looks like Outlook' inspector ),

which concists TO field, CC filed, Subject field and Body field.

I need to develop control ( the TO field ) that will behave like an

Outlook's TO field.

For resolving user i use the Redemption.dll.

Any ideas how can i implemetn in a good way such issue? or maybe such

control exists.

Thanks in advance.
 
If you want an address book dialog displayed you can use

RDOSession.AddressBook.ShowAddressBook().

You don't mention the Outlook version you're developing for, which you

should always do, but if you are developing for Outlook 2007 you can use

NameSpace.GetSelectNamesDialog() to display the address book dialog.

Thanks,

sorry, i use outlook 2003.

Also i use RDOSession.AddressBook.ShowAddressBook(), however

after user selected users (contacts) from addressBook i should place

them in the

textbox control with useres namaes separated with comma and

underline.

What is your suggestions??

Thanks in advance
 
What textbox control? Your textbox for To?

You get back a collection of RDORecipients from that dialog. You can get

whatever properties you want from each RDORecipient object, such as Name,

Address, AddressEntry.SMTPAddress and so on. You can then format things any

way you want, including with underlines.

Thanks,

i want to implement control (like in Outlook, when i open new

Insepctor),

with autoComplete, and underlining.

if such control exists, free or commercial.

Any ideas?
 
I've never seen a control like that, but I haven't looked. That's something

you can Google for if you're interested. Or you can simulate that yourself,

it's not hard to underline text in a textbox control and to handle events in

it.

Thanks Ken,

Thanks for advices, after some research i found that i can use/add

formatting in WinForm's textbox

it's only plain text.

so ......

The good thing that WinForm's texBox control has built-in autocomplete

(it's like in Outlook's inspector To,CC,BCC fields).

However without formatting.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
 
Ideas on what? Text formatting? You can set the font in a textbox, which

includes setting things like underlining. You can also use a rich text

textbox. You'd have to play with the formatting yourself to get the effect

you want.

Thanks,

i can add the underline formatting, but what about autocomplete? i

want to achieve Outlook's look and feel.

also in case i add underline fomratting on TextBox, i'll see

continiously underline ( include spaces).

what can u suggest?

Thanks in Advance Ken.
 
If autocomplete or autosuggest is what you want in a textbox you have to

implement that yourself. As each Change event fires for the control you

would take the text as it is then and do a search in contacts folders and

aggregate those that match the text you have. You'd have to present them in

some sort of dialog or popup and then repeat for each new character entered.

If you want an underline format to apply on to parts of the text I don't

think you can do that in a normal textbox. You might be able to in a rich

text textbox, I'm not sure since I almost never use those. Or you'd have to

hunt around for a control that meets your requirements from some 3rd party

vendor.
