Can you setup a callback or get a notification of adds/changes/deletes on a table?

Hi

I am using MAPI to get a list of all the contacts in the Outlook
Contacts folder. I cache all the contacts but that way I am not aware
of any changes made via Outlook. Eg if a contact is added, changed or
deleted. Is there a notification I can subscribe to? Or if not how
can I query for changes made eg since last poll time?

Many thanks

Angus

OK I have worked out the basics - you need to create a class
inheriting from IMAPIAdviseSink for anyone interested. Call Advise on
the table you want to receive notifications for.

Now my next question is how could I get the Entry ID from a
notification message. I receive a LPNOTIFICATION object. Can I
extract the Entry ID of the object from that? Is the Entry ID always
going to be in this object? How to retrieve?

No, PR_ENTRYID won't be there. But yo uwill get PR_INSTANCE_KEY, which you
can use to locate teh corresponding row and read the entry id.
You can see the notificatiosn in OutlookSpy (url below) - click IMAPIFolder,
go to the GetContentsTabel tab and look at the log at the bottom of the
window.
