NoteItem Object

See Also         Properties         Methods        

Represents a note in a Notes folder.

A NoteItem is not customizable. If you open a new note, you will notice that it is not possible to place it in design mode.

The Subject property of a NoteItem is read-only because it is calculated from the body text of the note. Also, the NoteItem Body can only be rich text, so the properties that correspond to HTML and Word content do not apply. Although the GetInspector property will work on notes, because notes can't be customized, some of the Inspector properties and methods will not apply to a NoteItem.

Using the NoteItem Object

Use the CreateItem method to create a NoteItem object that represents a new note. The following Microsoft Visual Basic example returns a new note.

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olNoteItem)

The following example shows how to create a NoteItem object using VBScript.

Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(5)

Use Items(index), where index is the index number of a note or a value used to match the default property of a note, to return a single NoteItem object from a Notes folder.
