Hi Julian, 


uses Outlook2000;

type
  TAddInModule = class(TadxCOMAddInModule)
    procedure adxCOMAddInModuleAddInInitialize(Sender: TObject);
    procedure adxCOMAddInModuleAddInFinalize(Sender: TObject);
  private
    FItems: TItems;
    procedure DoItemAdd(ASender: TObject; const Item: IDispatch);
  protected
  public
  end;

...

procedure TAddInModule.adxCOMAddInModuleAddInInitialize(Sender: TObject);
begin
  FItems := TItems.Create(nil);
  FItems.ConnectTo(OutlookApp.GetNamespace('MAPI').GetDefaultFolder(olFolderSentMail).Items);
  FItems.OnItemAdd := DoItemAdd;
end;

procedure TAddInModule.adxCOMAddInModuleAddInFinalize(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if Assigned(FItems) then
    FItems.Free;
end;

procedure TAddInModule.DoItemAdd(ASender: TObject; const Item: IDispatch);
begin
  // do something
end;

(Using Delphi 5 Professional)

Hi again,

I'm trying to automatically export email messages to *.msg files that are placed in the Sent Items folder (when a message has been successfully sent). For that I was trying to make use of the code presented in this thread and now I'm puzzled as I get this error:

Undeclared identifier: 'TItems'


What am I missing here?

I also noticed that is this code sample no parameters are sent to the 'DoItemAdd' procedure, so my question is what parameters should be sent?

Thanks and regards,

John... ;)

Hi John,

Office wrapper components are limited in Delphi 5. I.e. Delphi 5 Outlook2000 has all interface descriptions but doesn't have classes. Do you have a newer version of Delphi (6, 7, 2005, 2006)?

Hi Dmitry,

Before I start switching to another Delphi version, isn't there some kind of work-around that will work with Delphi 5 Professional?

What I actually need is for the user to be able to "activate" a button in a "new message" window that will put the "saving-to-file" on hold until the message is actually sent (placed in the "sent items" folder).

So what should happen is:

- The user opens a new message
- The user "activates" the (Inspector Bar) "Save To File" button
- The user types the message
- The user clicks the (Native Outlook) "Send" button
- The message is being sent
- After the message has been actually sent, the message will be automatically saved to a *.msg file.

Btw, the only "newer" versions I have of Delphi are Delphi 7 Personal and Delphi 2005 personal, of which I'm not sure if they can work with the database engine I'm using in my project.

Thanks and regards,

John... ;)

Yes, I think there is. You can try to import the Outlook type library, then Delphi will try to create the TItems class automatically. If it fails, you can create this class manually.

Hi Dmitry,

I've tried what you've suggested, but it does not seem to work as TItems does not appear to be part of the Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library (Version 9.2) that I have on this system?

Or am I still missing something here?
This would be the ActiveX library you are refering too..?

Regards,

John... ;)

Hi Dmitry,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! :)

The TItems class you've sent me worked perfectly and I seriously doubt I've would have been able to "create this class manually".

After adding the TItems class to my Delphi 5 project, the above source code compiled perfectly and functions as intended, which is in one word:

GREAT!!

Thanks you very much for the great support :D

Regards,

John... ;)
