ConversationTopic Property (Message Object) 

The ConversationTopic property specifies the name of the conversation thread. Read/write.

Syntax

objMessage.ConversationTopic

Data Type

String

Remarks

A conversation is a group of related messages. The ConversationTopic property is the string that describes the overall topic of the conversation. To be defined as messages within the same conversation, the messages must have the same value in their ConversationTopic property. The ConversationIndex property represents an index that indicates a sequence of messages within that conversation.

When you start an initial message, set the ConversationTopic property to an appropriate value that will apply to all messages within the conversation. For many applications, the message Subject property is appropriate.

Note that the OLE Messaging Library does not automatically copy the ConversationTopic property to other messages. When your application manages messages that represent replies to an original message, you should set the ConversationTopic property to the same value as the original message.

To change the ConversationTopic for all messages in a conversation thread, you must change the property within each message in that thread.

The ConversationTopic property corresponds to the MAPI property PR_CONVERSATION_TOPIC.

Example

See the example for the ConversationIndex property.
