Members
ulFlags
Bitmask of flags used to eliminate a horizontal or vertical scroll bar from the list. The following flags can be set:MAPI_NO_HBAR
No horizontal scroll bar should be shown with the list.MAPI_NO_VBAR
No vertical scroll bar should be shown with the list.
ulPRSetProperty
Property tag for a property of any type. This property is one of the columns in the table identified by the ulPRTableTable member.ulPRTableName
Property tag for a table property of type PT_OBJECT that can be opened by using an OpenProperty call. The number of columns that the table should have depends on whether the list is a single or multiple selection list. If the ulPRSetProperty member is set to PR_NULL (PidTagNull), the list allows for multiple selection.
Remarks
A DTBLLBX structure describes a list a control that is used to show multiple items and let a user select one or more of the items.
The ulPRSetProperty member and ulPRTableName member work together; when one value is chosen from the table, it is written back to ulPRSetProperty when the dialog box is dismissed.
The flags value indicates whether a horizontal or vertical scroll bar should be displayed with the list. The default is to have types of scroll bars appear if it is required. Service providers can set MAPI_NO_HBAR to suppress a horizontal scroll bar and MAPI_NO_VBAR to suppress a vertical scroll bar.
The two property tag members work together to display values in the list and set corresponding properties when an item in the list is selected. When MAPI first displays the list, it calls the IMAPIProp implementation's OpenProperty method to retrieve the table identified in the ulPRTableName member. The number of columns in the table depends on the value of the ulPRSetProperty member. If ulPRSetProperty is set to PR_NULL, the list is a multiple selection list based on an object that contains recipients, such as an address book container, a recipient table for a message, or a distribution list contents table.
A table for a multiple selection list must include the following columns:
PR_DISPLAY_NAME (PidTagDisplayName)
PR_ENTRYID (PidTagEntryId)
PR_INSTANCE_KEY (PidTagInstanceKey)
PR_DISPLAY_TYPE (PidTagDisplayType) and a maximum of five other multivalued string properties can also be displayed with the three required columns.
If the ulPRSetProperty member is not set to PR_NULL, the list is a single selection list. The initial value of ulPRSetProperty determines the first selected row. When a user selects one of the rows, the ulPRSetProperty member is set to the selected value and this value is written back to the property interface implementation with a call to IMAPIProp::SetProps.
