SYMPTOMS
When you are creating a custom solution by using the Outlook View control, there is not a way to enable the preview pane in the control.



CAUSE
This issue can occur because the Outlook View control is not designed to display a separate preview pane.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, instead of using the preview pane, set the control to use the AutoPreview feature, which displays the first 255 characters of an e-mail message in the same pane. To do this for a view of the Inbox, set the View property of the control to &quot;Messages with AutoPreview&quot;.
