Listing public folder calendar content in Outlook Today? - 21.Jun.2002 12:26:00 PM

I use Outlook 2002 (Office XP) in combination with Exchange 2000.

I used to work with Outlook 2000 and Exchange 2000, for Outlook2K, I made a customized DLL (outlwvw.dll) for my Outlook Today screen.

Outlook Today default lists de Calendarcontent of your own Calendar, I've made this DLL so that it listed the content of a public folder called Calendar. This worked fine!

But now I've upgraded to Outlook 2002 and my outlwvw.dll isn't working anymore.

I checked it and I know where the problem is.

Inside this DLL, there are several HTML pages, which actually are the Outlook Today pages.

I've edited one of them, and inside this HTML page, you'll find the following code:

quote:

<object ID="CalList" CLASSID="CLSID:0468C085-CA5B-11D0-AF08-00609797F0E0">
<param NAME="Module" VALUE="Calendar">
</object>

In the edited DLL, i added the following line of code:

quote:

<object ID="CalList" CLASSID="CLSID:0468C085-CA5B-11D0-AF08-00609797F0E0">
<param NAME="Module" VALUE="Calendar">
<param NAME="Path" VALUE="\\Openbare mappen\Alle openbare mappen\Agenda">
</object>

(don't mention the dutch rule, I use the dutch version of Outlook).

This used to work fine in Outlook 2000 but not in XP. It simply lists nothing of my calendar when I choose Outlook Today.

What is the syntax of this command so Outlook 2002 points correctly to my public folder?

Hi Wouter!

How do you make changes to the dll file? What program are you using? Would sure like to start modifying some pages [Smile]

Johan

MS Visual C++, open the outlwvw.dll (make a backup first [Wink]

), and choose Open as Resources. Now you see the HTML pages (Outlook1.htm, Outlook2.htm and so on), open these, copy the content to notepad, start editing, copy it back and save the DLL file. Have fun. [Smile]

But still no answer to my question... [Frown]

Thanks for the link kb [Smile]

However, this article is about customizing Outlook Today in Outlook 2000 and not XP.

Quote from that site:

Outlook 2002 uses the same Outlook 2000 architecture for Outlook Today. However, information about customizing Outlook Today was not updated specifically for Outlook 2002 and therefore is not included in the Office XP Resource Kit.

But unfortunately, there ARE differences so my Outlook Today DLL from Outlook 2000 isn't working anymore in XP (2002).
