Return value

A Variant object representing the storage that Outlook has allocated for the form region. The type of the return value can be: String representing that the return value is a local path to an Outlook Form Storage (.OFS) file; Byte() representing that the return value is an array of bytes that contains the contents of the .OFS file; IStorage representing that the return value is a COM storage object IStorage (for C++ only); Nothing or Null, representing that Outlook could not allocate storage for this form region and will not load the form region.

Remarks

The add-in must check for the return value of GetFormRegionStorage. A form region will not load if any of the following is true of the returned storage:

  • The returned storage is a .OFS file specified with a non-local path.

  • The returned storage is a file but is not an .OFS file saved from the forms designer.

For examples of add-ins in C# and Visual Basic .NET that implement the FormRegionStartup interface, see code sample downloads on MSDN.
