ADX Outlook Toys for VCL Code not working

Hello, I just purchased ADX for VCL (standard), and downloaded sample code / addin from the subject. The pre-compiled addin works, however when I compile the code, and register the dll, run the Outlook, the addin shows up in Outlook (2007), however after clicking on "show headers" or "show message" the only thing shown is a single letter ("R" for headers, "T" for message). I have a screenshot of this, but don't see an option to attach it to this forum post.

I would appreciate a quick response, as decision has to be made quickly whether to use Delphi + ADX or C# / VSTO for further development.

OS: Windows 7, Outlook 2007
Delphi XE

Hi Mario,

Thank you for pointing us to the issue. The point is that we compiled the sample using Delphi 7, which does not support unicode strings. You are using Delphi XE, which is unicode by default. Please try to change the following code line

s := PropValue^.Value.lpszA;

to the following block: 

{$IFDEF UNICODE}
s := PWideChar(PropValue^.Value.lpszA);
{$ELSE}
s := PropValue^.Value.lpszA;
{$ENDIF}


We will modify the sample later today and upload the correct version. Thank you again for pointing this out for us.
