Prevent the Inspector from Displaying a Form Region When You are Reading a Message

  • Article

When you create a form region in a custom form for mail or post items, by default, the form region will be displayed in the inspector when you read a mail or post item that uses that custom form. If you want to prevent the inspector from displaying the form region, specify this in the form region manifest XML file that you register for the form region. For more information on registering a form region, see Specifying Form Regions in the Windows Registry.
