Programming Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange, Second Edition (DV-MPS Programming)

Chapter 10

This chapter outlines Microsoft Outlook 2000 enhancements to the Account Tracking application. The main enhancement is the addition of a COM add-in that notifies users when new tasks or accounts are assigned to them. The implementation of this COM add-in will allow us to examine how to respond to events, how to add custom toolbar buttons and event handlers for those buttons, and how to add custom property pages to the Outlook environment. Before we discuss the COM add-in, we'll add two folder home pages to the Account Tracking application, the second of which uses the Outlook View control.
