Uninitialized State

Applies to: Office 2010 | Outlook 2010 | Visual Studio

The Uninitialized state is the initial state form objects should be in when they are first created. Form objects become initialized with message data when a client application calls the IPersistMessage::InitNew or IPersistMessage::Load method on the form object.
