VCD

The VCD structure holds data used for defining a column in a view.

typedef struct VCD
{
    ULONG vcds;
    ULONG cx;
    ULONG ulReserved1;
    ULONG ulFlags;
    ULONG ulReserved2;
    ULONG ulReserved3;
    MAPINAMEID mnid;
} VCD;
 

Members

vcds

The view column descriptor selector (vcds) contains constants identifying the property in the column. The property values are list in remarks following.

cx

Column width in characters or pixels. Whenever possible the column width should be specified in character widths to avoid problems with views appearing distorted on machines with different font sizes.

ulFlags

Bitmask of flags associated with a view column descriptor. Corresponding properties are listed in remarks following. These flags can be set:

VCDF_NOT_SORTABLE

Indicates the column cannot be sorted.

VCDF_SORTDESCENDING

Indicates a column whose default is to sort in descending order and cleared when the default is in ascending order.

VCDF_BITMAP

Indicates the column width value is measured in pixels.

VCDF_MOVABLE

Indicates whether the column can be moved relative to other columns in the view.

VCDF_COLUMNSDLG

Indicates the column is to be displayed in the column dialog box.

VCDF_SORTDLG

Indicates the column is to be displayed in the sort dialog box.

VCDF_GROUPDLG

Indicates the column is to be displayed in the group dialog box.

VCDF_RCOLUMNSDLG

Indicates the column is to be displayed in the remote columns dialog box.

VCDF_MULTIVALUED

Indicates the column is multivalued.

VCDF_NAMEDPROP

Indicates when the mnid member of the VCD structure contains a named MAPI property to be displayed in the column. This also requires reading the named property information from the binary stream.

All other flags are reserved and must be cleared.

mnid

MAPI name identifier for the column.

ulReserved1…ulReserved10

These are reserved and must be NULL.

Remarks

The following chart lists the vcds value and the corresponding MAPI property.

The following chart shows the view column descriptor selector (vcds), column width required, and the applicable view column descriptor flag (vcdf):
