RDOCategories object

 

RDOCategories collection represents categories from a given store or local machine (depending on the Outlook version and whether the collection is retrieved from the RDOSession or RDOStore2 object).

 

When accessed though RDOSession.Categories, RDOCategories collection first attempts to read the category list from the default store in the profiles (where Outlook 2007 stores it). If no categories are present in the default store, Redemption tries to read the categories list from the registry if Outlook 2003 or older is installed.

 

When accessed though RDOStore2.Categories, RDOCategories only reads the list from the store.

 

Returned by:

RDOSession.Categories, RDOStore2.Categories

 

The example below lists the master category list in the current profile.

set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.Logon
set Categories = Session.Categories
for each Category in Categories
   Debug.Print Category.Name
next

 

The example below adds a new category to the mailbox of another Exchange user.

set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.logon
set Store = Session.GetSharedMailbox("dmitry")
set Categories = Store.Categories
set Category = Categories.Add("Redemption Category", olCategoryColorPeach)
