Hi,
I'm trying do develop a small add-i that should catch item on new mail and on new contact.

On new mail all works fine, but on new contact (event OnWrite) it returns an empty sender object.

Thank in advance for any suggestions:

unit BCOlAddin_IMPL;

Hi Nicola,

Just created and tested a small Outlook add-in. Works fine. For testing I used the Email1DisplayName property and I got it in the OnWrite event handler.

What do you mean by "empty sender object"? Is it nil or a valid TContactItem with empty properties? What Outlook version do you use?

Dmitry Kostochko!

in my DoContactWrite:
if ASender is TContactItem <<== OK
lContact := TContactItem(ASender); <== no error, should be ok
ShowMessage(lContact.<anything>) <== Empty box !!!

-- Outlook 2003

A bit strange... In my case it was Outlook 2003+SP1 too. It seems you use Delphi 7, am I right? Do you use MS Exchange Server? Do you have a fully filled contact item for testing?

Stop all !!!!

It was a problem of my WinXP, after a reboot all works fine.

Thank you very much for your support.


Sincerly
