Well, I hope this is the last question for now. I've finished creating my add-in, and now I want to deploy it to the world, and share it with my fellow man. :D
I have several files that I want to add to my DLL, as a part of the add-in. A man installing the program, can probably install it on any dir. How can I get the dir the DLL was installed on as a parameter (delphi)? I'm quite sure this is trival, but I can't find it anywhere on the web.

See the COMAddInClassFactory.FilePath property.

Hi,

How do I access ComAddinClassFactory from inside an Outlook Extension form? I cannot seem to find it in any units...

Thanks,
Brendan

Hi Yair,

Use the following code:
(Self.AddinModule as TAddInModule).COMAddInClassFactory.FilePath;

Hi Fedor,

Thanks for that. Although it compiles, I get an AV when I actually try to use it in the form. However, it works fine in the AddInModule instance itself... Is there a workaround? Can I access my form from the AddInModule instance?

Thanks,
Brendan

Can I access my form from the AddInModule instance?

Use the adxolFormsManager.Items[].FormInstances function for access to ADXOlForm from AddinModule.

Is there a workaround?

Curiously, I have just tested the following code successfully:
procedure TadxOlForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
ShowMessage((self.AddinModule as TAddInModule).COMAddInClassFactory.FilePath);
end;

This code you should use for visible TADXOlForm.
Where do you use this code?

I have just tested the following code successfully:

procedure TadxOlForm1.adxOlFormADXSelectionChange(Sender: TObject);
begin
Memo1.Lines.Add((self.AddinModule as TAddInModule).COMAddInClassFactory.FilePath);
end;

What Add-in Express version do you use?
