I was able to add a custom column to Outlook Explorer and have few questions:
1. I do not see that the code I added that I picked on this site has specifics with regards to user account. Does it mean that adding a User-Defined Column to Outlook Explorer is application wide feature? If not, what do I need to do to make this column available to all user accounts, including Exchange accounts?
2. Is it possible to paint the above User-Defined column header in a different color?
3. How can I enable editing of the values in this column programmatically? I did not discover any API so far. Is it possible by setting some Registry value. Will it be application wide setting or per user/account? |

Hello Leon,
1. I assume you've updated a view or created a custom one to achieve this. As far as I know, views are per-user and you need to update a view(s) or create a custom view on other users for them to see the change.
2. I don't see such a feature in the Outlook UI. If it is missing, you can't do this.
3. Check https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.tableview.allowincellediting

With regards to #1:

With regards to #3: EXCELLENT! THANK YOU! (I don't know how I missed it...) |

Hello Leon,
If you mean accounts within an Outlook profile, then the column is located on the folder level and you see it whatever account you use to send/receive an email.
If the accounts are in different profiles, you need to create that column in both profiles.

Obviously, if another user logs in with different Profile or current user switches Profile then it will automatically do the custom column in xxx_StartupCompleted event handler.
So, expanding one of my previous questions:
Is it possible to change cell or row font and font color in code, and if yes, how? I went through TableView properties but did not see anything that I could set... |
