Outlook Forms, handling Message Options + reading pane

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hi,
We've created a custom form for handling and displaying fax messages in a separate window. We are working in COM because we need backwards compatibility with older Outlook clients (2000). The form works correctly for double-click and for Open, Print, Forward etc.

We created an IDispatch::Invoke and that returns E_NOTIMPL currently and a dialog pops up indicating that it is not implemented (if we use CO_E_NOT_SUPPORTED nothing pops up).

What I'd like to know is the following:
1) What is needed to support the item context menu item Message Options . . .. (we know it sends in the DISPID) but rather then creating our own dialog we'd like to use the existing Message Options Dialog.
2) What is needed to support he Reading pane functionality when a non-standard form is selected.

Pointers to articles, code samples etc. and even words would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
MC
