Outlook Web Access User Interface Customization XML Elements
Topic Last Modified: 2008-01-02
Customizing the user interface for Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) involves adding information to a UIExtensions.xml file in the forms folder. The UIExtensions.xml file must conform to the XML schema that is described in the XML element topics in this section.
The following example of a UIExtensions.xml file shows you how to add an item to the New drop-down menu, how to add an item to the navigation pane, and how to associate a small icon image file with a content class.
<OWAUICustomizations> <SmallIconMappings> <!--You can register your own icons for custom message classes here. The Default IconFlag="Default". The Default PrefixMatch="false". Attributes should be in the order of: ItemClass, SmallIcon, IconFlag, PrefixMatch --> <Mapping ItemClass="IPM.CustomClass" SmallIcon="CustomClass.gif" IconFlag="CustomClassRead"/> </SmallIconMappings> <MainNavigationBarExtensions> <!--You can register your own entries to appear in the Outlook Web Access navigation pane here. --> <MainNavigationBarEntry LargeIcon="LargeIcon.gif" SmallIcon="SmallIcon.gif" URL="http://server/application.aspx"> <string language="en-us" text="My Application"/> </MainNavigationBarEntry> </MainNavigationBarExtensions> <NewItemMenuEntries> <!--You can register your own entries to appear in the Outlook Web Access New item drop-down menu here, --> <NewItemMenuEntry ItemType="IPM.CustomClass" icon="Sample.gif"> <string language="en-us" text="New custom item"/> </NewItemMenuEntry> </NewItemMenuEntries> </OWAUICustomizations>
