SetControlItemProperty Method

Binds an Outlook object model property to a control on an inspector.

expression.SetControlItemProperty(Control, PropertyName)

expression    Required. An expression that returns an Inspector object.

Control    Required Object. The control that will be bound to a property.

PropertyName    Required String. The name of the property that will be bound to the control.

Remarks

You can also use the following line of code myPage.Controls("bar").ItemProperty = "subject" to bind the subject property to a control. However, note that this will trigger the security warning if the property is protected by the object model security guard such as To. You can use the SetControlItemProperty method to avoid security warnings with trusted objects.

Example

The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code adds a custom page to an appointment item, adds a custom textbox control, and binds that control to Subject property.

    Sub Example()
    Dim myIns As Outlook.Inspector
    Dim myAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
    Dim ctrl As Object
    Dim ctrls As Object
    Dim myPages As Outlook.Pages
    Dim myPage As Object
    
    Set myAppt = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
    Set myIns = apti.GetInspector
    
    Set myPages = myIns.ModifiedFormPages
    Set myPage = myPages.Add("New Page")
    myIns.ShowFormPage ("New Page")
    Set ctrls = myPage.Controls
    Set ctrl = ctrls.Add("Forms.TextBox.1")
    
    myIns.SetControlItemProperty ctrl, "Subject"
    
    myAppt.Display
End Sub
