Setting resource icon on address list items

Category: MAPI

Hi,In outlook 2007/Exchange 2007 environment, global address list items can show and icon of the person or a resource.
I'm trying to imitate this behavior by changing properties of contacts in outlook in order to show a resource icon in the address book view in outlook 2007.I added the PR_DISPLAY_TYPE_EX that should control the icon and I try to set it to 0x08 (DTDT_EQUIPMENT) or any other combination

of remote/local bits, but the icon doesn't change.Interestingly, looking with outlookspy on the IMailUser in the IABContainer of the address list does not show the PR_DISPLAY_TYPE_EX while looking at the IMessage from IMapiFolder does show the property.Has anyone had success with changing the icon? Am I missing other properties?

Thanks,
Rodi Reich
