Outlook programming in VC++

[Jay B. Harlow [MVP - Outlook]]

Vignessh,
I normally use the following code to import the Outlook Object model into
Visual C++ 6.0...

I normally put this in the stdafx.h include file...

#if defined(USE_OUTLOOK97)
#import "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\STDOLE2.TLB" exclude("IUnknown", "IDispatch")
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSO97.DLL"
#import "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FM20.DLL" inject_statement("using namespace
stdole;")
#import <C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msoutl8.olb>
#elif defined(USE_OUTLOOK98)
#import "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\STDOLE2.TLB" exclude("IUnknown", "IDispatch")
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSO97.DLL"
#import "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FM20.DLL" inject_statement("using namespace
stdole;")
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msoutl85.olb"
inject_statement("using namespace stdole;")
#else
#import "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\STDOLE2.TLB" exclude("IUnknown", "IDispatch")
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSO9.DLL"
#import "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FM20.DLL" inject_statement("using namespace
stdole;")
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msoutl9.olb" \
inject_statement("using namespace stdole;")
#endif

Then manual convert the VB samples into C++. VC++ 6.0 #import statement
simplifies this...

Hope this helps
Jay
