Hidden MSDN Message

[mr_tango]

Just found something in MSDN that is a bit "strange". If you go to the following page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...importance.asp

The following text is displayed:

Returns or sets an OlImportance constant indicating the relative importance level for the Outlook item. This property corresponds to the MAPI property PR_IMPORTANCE. Read/write.

expression.Importance

expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

However if you highlight the text, copy it and then paste it, you get extra information, (the information you require):

Returns or sets an OlImportance constant indicating the relative importance level for the Outlook item. This property corresponds to the MAPI property PR_IMPORTANCE. Read/write.

OlImportance can be one of these OlImportance constants.
olImportanceHigh
olImportanceLow
olImportanceNormal


expression.Importance

expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Do you reckon this is:

1) A cunning plan to slow software development by Microsoft
2) A web page screw up
3) Something that everyone knows about already
4) My PC is screwed and everyone can already see all of the information?

All a bit funny if you ask me!

Click on the OlImportance link, and you see the remaining text.

This isn't a web page screw up, just some CSS/Javascript at work. The text still exists there, so it gets copied.

yeah I get a javascript error when I load that page

on that note why would MS write the entire MSDN for developers and try to slow their development? MS wants people developing for their platform
