INFO: Defines View Column Descriptors (VCD) (172197)

SUMMARY

Many applications written for Microsoft Exchange are designed to manipulate views. An application may, for example, programmatically create views for its folder application, or an application may simply include functionality to read or modify existing view definitions.

MORE INFORMATION

The documentation references flags and bit values that are not defined in any of the documentation or header files on the Platform SDK (Software Development Kit). The defines are listed here. (You will need to add these to a header file in your project.)
