During the development of outlook plugin, a scenario came to render the HTML page in appointment body.
Displaying an HTML body in the mail body is easy as mail item has a property called .HTMLBody but how to do with an appointment item.
I have struggled a lot to achieve this at last achieved it :-). In order to display an html content to the appointment window I have used the below process
//Place the below in using namespace list of program using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
private AppointmentItem _appItem;
private MailItem _mailItem;
private void DisplayHTMLinAppointmentItem()
{
_appItem.Body = <B>HTML TEST</B>
_mailItem = this.Application.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem);
_mailItem.HTMLBody = appItem.Body;
_mailItem.Open += new ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler(mailItemCopy_Open);
_mailItem.Display();
Inspector insp = appItem.GetInspector;
Word.Document wordDoc = insp.WordEditor as Word.Document;
wordDoc.Windows[1].Document.Content.Paste();
}
private void mailItemCopy_Open(ref bool Cancel)
{
Inspector inspMail = _mailItem.GetInspector;
Word.Document wordDocMail = inspMail.WordEditor as Word.Document;
wordDocMail.Windows[1].Document.Content.Copy();
Cancel = true;
}
Above code will help us to achieve the display of HTML content in appointment item.
