Well, if you have a MailItem in your code (myMail) to use Redemption with it
would be something like this:

Redemption.SafeMailItem safMail = new Redemption.SafeMailItem();
const int PR_ICON_INDEX = 0x10800003;
safMail.Item = myMail;
int propTag = safMail.GetIdsFromNames
safMail.SetFields(PR_ICON_INDEX, -1);
myMail.Subject = myMail.Subject; // fool Outlook into thinking something has
changed
myMail.Save();

That would set the icon index. That would be the only part where you'd have
to use Redemption code, the rest would be similar to the code Ghislain
posted.

Thanks for replay.

My AddIn developed on VSTO 2005, C#. Also i'm using Redemption
however didn't find any solution, could you please provide me some
sample regarding this.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

I tried your suggestion i wrote the same snippet (except of this line
of code: int propTag = safMail.GetIdsFromNames , i didn't understand
it's reason.)
also i added the Ghislain code, however i doesn't see the Icon.

Any suggestion??

The GetIdsFromNames line should have been deleted, I forgot to do that. It's
not needed since PR_ICON_INDEX isn't a MAPI named property but is a standard
property with a property tag value of 0x10800003.

With that code and the other code supplying the icons to use you should see
the icons unless the icon path isn't valid for your system or something else
is wrong. No errors?

I didn't get any error ( for test reason i provide dummy path for the
icen, and got en exception "File not found" ).

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance.

If you got a file not found error then you are providing an incorrect path
or the file doesn't exist.

Any ideas??

Here's what I suspect is happening: Setting any FormDescription properties in an individual item will have no effect, because current versions of Outlook ignore one-off FormDescription information. The solution would be to use a published custom form (or in Outlook 2007, a form region manifest).

Thanks Sue,

What do u meanby saying "The solution would be to use a published
custom form ", can explain please, or provide
some sample???
Another question, the AddIn developed for Outlook 2003 on VSTO 2005,
C# 2.0, also the AddIn works fine in Outlook 2007
the " Outlook 2007, a form region manifest", can be used in my
situation??? (I'm using Redemption in my code.)


Thanks in advance.

Try it for yourself: Create a new message form and on the (Properties) page set the icon. Publish it to your Personal Forms library, ignoring any prompt to check the "Send form definition with item box." Now, change the value of the MessageClass property of any message to the published form's class, e.g. "IPM.Note.MyForm." You should see the message icon change.

Form regions are for Outlook 2007 only.
