Given an Inspector object, what is the quickest (performance) way of looping
through all the controls on an Outlook form looking for ComboBox controls?

Basically I need to find controls that are bound to certain properties and
then populate the controls list of possible values.

Thanks.
 
Loop through the controls and check the MatchRequired property. If it's not
a combo box, you'll get an error (which you'll need to handle). If there's
no error, it's a combo box, since MatchRequired is a property only combo
boxes support.

Don't use PossibleValues, unless you like one-off forms.

FYI, there is a separate newsgroup for Outlook forms issues --
microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms.
 
Correct.

Use AddItem, List, or Column. (Using PossibleValues will one-off the item.)
