I need to get the folder name for the current ContactItem, AppointmentItem or TaskItem, how do I do this?

Here is smy AddInInitialize Code...

FCalendarItems := TItems.Create(nil);
FCalendarItems.ConnectTo(OutlookApp.GetNamespace('MAPI').GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar).Items);
FCalendarItems.OnItemAdd := DoCalendarItemAdd;
FCalendarItems.OnItemChange := DoCalendarItemChange;


and the top of the event handler

procedure TAddInModule.DoContactItemAdd(ASender: TObject; const Item: IDispatch);
var
IContact: ContactItem;
begin

if Assigned(Item) then
begin
Item.QueryInterface(IID__ContactItem , IContact);
if Assigned(IContact) then
begin


How do I get the folder?

Hi Julian,

Try to use the ContactItem.Parent property.

Hi Dmitry,
Thanks... got it working, is there any way to attach to all folders, or all the contact folders? So instead of doing

FCalendarItems := TItems.Create(nil);
FCalendarItems.ConnectTo(OutlookApp.GetNamespace('MAPI').GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar).Items);
FCalendarItems.OnItemAdd := DoCalendarItemAdd;
FCalendarItems.OnItemChange := DoCalendarItemChange;

something like...

FFolderItems := TItems.Create(nil);
FFolderItems.ConnectTo(OutlookApp.GetNamespace('MAPI').folders.Items);
FFolderItems.OnItemAdd := DoItemAdd;
FFolderItems.OnItemChange := DoItemChange;

Hi Julian,

You can iterate the Folders collection and attach to all folders you need. To determine the default Outlook item type contained in the folder see the MAPIFolder.DefaultItemType property.
