I'm designing GUI for my WinForm and I really liked the Outlook 2003 so I
stared to put list view in a middle, IE control on right and I developed
similar bar that outlook 2003 have on the left. This software is to be into
Electrical Industry has nothing to do with messaging, still it looks very
familiar to outlook...(someone who is used outlook before wouldn't have
problem navigating) now the question. Can I get into trouble by using MS
design?

Main question: can you use the MS design (the controls layout) in your
software? Or do you need special permissions for that??

Thanks in advance
 
Sebastian,
You just asked this question, why ask it a second time.

See the previous thread!

Thanks for understanding.
