This may be a very naive question, but since AddIn Express is built around the Office 2000 Object Model, how do I use the Office 2007 Object Model instead?

For example,

uses
Outlook2007;

procedure
var
IExpl : _Explorer;

begin
IExpl := OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer();
end;

throws an error because IExpl is an Outlook2007 Explorer, but OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer returns an Outlook2000 Explorer.

Is it possible to use the Office 2007 Object Model, or am I stuck with using the Office 2000 model?

Thanks,


Andrew

Hello Andrew,

You need to import type library for Outlook 2007 and use it; an example of importing and using the type library for Outlook 2010 is given at http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=1&TID=12731&MID=64876#message64876.

The code line above will bounce unless you cast the right-side expression to Outlook2007._Explorer.

Hope this helps.
