Hi,
Im developing MS Outlook Addin with D7 ent+Addin Express V2.2 on W2K. First I design and run code in Outlook 2000. Everytgins work fine. I try to test in Outlook 2003. My save line raises exceptin. How can I save eMail in 2003? And how can I write the code that run both? ({$IFDEF})
Here is my 2000 code;

var
TmpMailItem:MailItem;

....

//exception on this line
TmpMailItem:=_MailItem(OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(i));
//this lines work well in 2000
EMailName:='c:\Test.msg';
TmpMailItem.SaveAs(EMailName,olMSG);

Thanks

There could be several causes of the exception:

- Outlook doesn't have ActiveExplorer.
- Selection doesn't contain Item(i).
- Selection contains Item(i) but it isn't _MailItem.

Please give more details of your exception.

Hi Dmitry,
Thanks for the answer.

OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count returns 1. I thing there is another problem here. I debug the code. And add line ;

if OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)=nil then ShowMessage('excep');
there is no message.
next line is;

TmpMailItem:=_MailItem(OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1));

and Im getting exception here. I thing the problem is casting. Any idea?

Ok,
I found the exact problem line;
when I cast as TmpMailItem line, there is no exception. Exception raises when I try to use TmpMailItem. For example;
TmpMailItem.SenderName (infact its widestring), TmpMailItem.HTMLBody or any property of _MailItem.
Now, I believe that there is a problem casting. Any idea?

var
  IDsp: IDispatch;
  MItem: _MailItem;
begin
  IDsp := nil;
  if (OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer
<> 
nil) and
    (OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count
> 
0) then
    IDsp := OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1);
  if Assigned(IDsp) then
    try
      IDsp.QueryInterface(IID__MailItem, MItem);
      if Assigned(MItem) then
        try
          MItem.SaveAs(...);
        finally
          MItem := nil;
        end;
    finally
      IDsp := nil;
    end;
end;


Done?

Hi Dmitry,
I change my code to yours. Now Its working.:) Thanks for the help. I want to write some notes for future use;

1.There can be more than 1 selected item. For this reason you had to iterate them.(OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count)
2.If you want only email (not read receipt etc.) you had to test every time its a email or not.

Thanks again.
