INFO: Defines View Column Descriptors (VCD)

ID: Q172197

The information in this article applies to:

• Extended Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), version 1.0
• Exchange Development Kit (EDK)
• Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, version 5.0

SUMMARY

Many applications written for Microsoft Exchange are designed to manipulate views. An application may, for example, programmatically create views for its folder application, or an application may simply include functionality to read or modify existing view definitions.

MORE INFORMATION

The documentation references flags and bit values that are not defined in any of the documentation or header files on the Platform SDK (Software Development Kit). The defines are listed here. (You will need to add these to a header file in your project.)
