Post selected contact items to an datagridview on form at the RightSubpane
Post items to an form

Hallo,

I have to post selected contact items from the outlook explorer to an datagridview which is placed at an form. The form are placed at the RightSubpane of the explorer and it's only visible for contact. The posting process will be triggered if the user have clicked on an RibbonButton at the RibbonTab.
I catch the form like and try to get control to the datagriedview, but without success: 


        private void MoveSelectedContactToCRM()
        {
            Outlook.ApplicationClass app = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
            Outlook.Selection selContacts = app.ActiveExplorer().Selection;

            AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlForm testForm = adxOlFormsCollectionItem4.FormInstances(0);

            int nAnz = this.adxOlFormsCollectionItem4.FormInstanceCount;

            //Access the datagriedview to fill it with the selected contact items
            
            foreach (Outlook.ContactItem conItem in selContacts)
            {
                //conItem.
            }
        }


At this point i need the the datagridview control to fill it with the selected contact items.
How can I solve this??

Thanks for your help!!

Hallo Joachim,

You can use ADXOlFormsCollectionItem.GetForm() to get the form instance shown in the specified Outlook window. Then you cast the result to the type of your form (e.g. MyAddin1.MyADXOlForm1) and access the grid.

Hallo Andrei,

thanks for your answer! Now it work fine. For developers which are having the same problem, here are the complete code to post selected outlook contact items to an datagridview of an form: 


        private void MoveSelectedContactToCRM()
        {
            Outlook.ApplicationClass app = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
            Outlook.Selection selContacts = app.ActiveExplorer().Selection;

            MyTest.MyTestContactMoveToCRM ContactMoveToCRM = (MyTest.MyTestContactMoveToCRM)adxOlFormsCollectionItem4.GetForm(app.ActiveExplorer());
           
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.DataSource = null;

            DataTable dtSelectItems = new DataTable();
            dtSelectItems.Columns.Add("name", typeof(string));
            dtSelectItems.Columns.Add("vorname", typeof(string));
            dtSelectItems.Columns.Add("firma", typeof(string));
            dtSelectItems.Columns.Add("abteilung", typeof(string));
            dtSelectItems.Columns.Add("email", typeof(string));
            dtSelectItems.Columns.Add("mobile", typeof(string));
            dtSelectItems.Columns.Add("telefon", typeof(string));
            dtSelectItems.Columns.Add("user1", typeof(string));

            foreach (Outlook.ContactItem conItem in selContacts)
            {
                DataRow nRow = dtSelectItems.NewRow();
                nRow["name"] = conItem.LastName.ToString();
                nRow["vorname"] = conItem.FirstName;
                nRow["firma"] = conItem.CompanyName;
                nRow["abteilung"] = conItem.Department;
                nRow["email"] = conItem.Email1Address;
                nRow["mobile"] = conItem.MobileTelephoneNumber;
                nRow["telefon"] = conItem.BusinessTelephoneNumber;
                nRow["user1"] = conItem.User1;
                dtSelectItems.Rows.Add(nRow);
            }
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.DataSource = dtSelectItems;
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.Columns["name"].HeaderText = "Name";
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.Columns["vorname"].HeaderText = "Vorname";
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.Columns["firma"].HeaderText = "Firma";
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.Columns["abteilung"].HeaderText = "Abteilung";
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.Columns["email"].HeaderText = "e-Mail";
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.Columns["telefon"].HeaderText = "Telefon gesch.";
            ContactMoveToCRM.dtgSelectedAddresses.Columns["user1"].HeaderText = "ABW-ResNr";
        }
