The ListComposeForms method returns an array of compose form strings.
strArrayFormList = objRendApp.ListComposeForms(bstrLinkPattern)
The ListComposeForms method can be used to support launching custom forms from Web clients.
The bstrLinkPattern parameter can include any or all of the following substitution tokens:
| Substitution token | Attribute substituted for token |
|---|---|
| %class% | The message class |
| %classpath% | The partial URL path for the form |
| %formname% | The form's name from FORM.INI |
Each returned string is a copy of the bstrLinkPattern string with any substitution tokens replaced with the values appropriate for the corresponding form.
For example, Microsoft® Outlook™ Web Access might set bstrLinkPattern to
rgForms = objRA.ListComposeForms("<A HREF='JavaScript:openNewWindow
(""/Exchange/forms/%classpath%/frmroot.asp?command=new"",
""New message"", 640, 500)'>%formname%</A>")
In order for a form to be reflected in the returned list, there must be a file named FORM.INI in the form directory, as well as frmroot.asp. FORM.INI may have the following contents:
[Description]
DisplayName=<form name>
Hidden=0/1
If FORM.INI files have been added to or deleted from the form directory since you called ListComposeForms, you can refresh the list of designated compose forms by setting the FormsRoot property to its current value.
This script demonstrates the ListComposeForms method as it might be used from Microsoft® Outlook™ Web Access:

<!--
This script tests RenderingApplication.ListComposeForms
First it writes out a table listing all the %tokens% for each form.
Next it writes out a table using an Outlook Web Access link pattern;
these links should bring up a form when followed.
