Greetings –

I'm hoping to find out how to alter the icon shown in the Outlook bar
when programmatically adding a shortcut from an outlook add-in.
Unfortunately I am constrained to use Office 2000 so the Set Icon
method on the shortcuts collection is of no use.

For example, if you drag and drop a .ico file in to the outlook bar
the outlook bar shortcut uses the icon's image. However, if the same
icon is added programmatically the outlook bar shortcut appears with
the IE web page shortcut icon.

Any ideas?

I'm open to using just about any set of technologies to work around
this issue, I've read that the outlook bar is actually a windows list
view so any information on how to manipulate the image with APIs would
be great.

TIA,
Sean
 
You would need to upgrade to Outlook 2002, which supports a SetIcon method for Outlook Bar shortcuts.
