Hello,
I'm having a problem with the ItemChanged/ItemMoved event listeners on calendars when multiple Microsoft Exchange email accounts(on different Microsoft Exchange servers) are added to the same Outlook profile(tried outlook 2016, but I think 2013 and possibly 2010 have the same problem). On the calendars tab I see a blue and a green calendar, blue for one of the Microsoft Exchange accounts, green for the other. The ItemChange/ItemMove events are triggered on the blue one, not triggered at all on the green one.
I'm attaching the listener to the calendar like this:
calendarFolderListener.ConnectTo(ADXOlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar, true, true);
,where calendarFolderListener is an OutlookItemsEventsClass instance.
Do you have any suggestions on how to attach the listener also to the green calendar?
See picture here:

Thank you!

Hello Horatiu,
Horatiu Muresan writes:
calendarFolderListener.ConnectTo(ADXOlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar, true, true);
This line only connects to the default calendar of your default store.
In the Outlook UI, press Alt+F11 to open the VBA IDE. In the VBA IDE, in the Project Explorer, insert a module, double click the newly-added module and paste the following macro in the code pane:
Sub GetCalendars()
Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Set OutlookApp = Application
Dim cm As Outlook.CalendarModule
Set cm = OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.NavigationPane.CurrentModule
Dim iGroup As Integer
Dim iFolder As Integer
Dim outlookFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim navFolder As Outlook.NavigationFolder
Dim str As String
For iGroup = 1 To cm.NavigationGroups.Count
Debug.Print "Navigation Group=" + cm.NavigationGroups.Item(iGroup).Name
For iFolder = 1 To cm.NavigationGroups.Item(iGroup).NavigationFolders.Count
Set navFolder = cm.NavigationGroups.Item(iGroup).NavigationFolders.Item(iFolder)
Debug.Print " Navigation Folder=" + navFolder.DisplayName, "IsSelected=" + CStr(navFolder.IsSelected)
If navFolder.IsSelected Then
On Error Resume Next
Set outlookFolder = navFolder.Folder
On Error GoTo 0
If outlookFolder Is Nothing Then
Debug.Print " Can't get the Outlook.Folder object"
Else
str = ""
On Error Resume Next
str = outlookFolder.FolderPath
On Error GoTo 0
If str = "" Then
Debug.Print " Folder.FolderPath is unknown"
Else
Debug.Print " Folder.FolderPath=" + str
End If
Set outlookFolder = Nothing
End If
End If
Next iFolder
Next iGroup
End Sub
In the Outlook UI, use the controls at the bottom of the Navigation Pane to switch to the Calendar module; the macro above doesn't check this and it will just break if a different module is opened. Switch back to the VBA IDE, place the text cursor on any line of the macro and press F5. Now press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate window and study the output.
You may need to know the following details about VBA macros:
- unlike a .NET based code, VBA releases *all* the COM objects that your code creates
- On Error Resume Next supplied with On Error Goto 0 stands for a try/catch block with the catch block empty
Hope this helps.

Thank you Andrei, it was a big help!
I did it like this in the end, seems to work fine so far (please let me know if you see anything not right):
1. Attach listeners to all calendars:
public List<OutlookItemsEventsClass> calendarFolderListeners;
private void NavigateFolders(string deleteFolderEntryId)
{
Outlook.NameSpace session = null;
Outlook.Folders folders = null;
try
{
session = OutlookApp.Session;
folders = session.Folders;
for (int i = 1; i <= folders.Count; i++)
{
Outlook.MAPIFolder folder = null;
try
{
folder = folders[i];
NavigateSubFoldersRecursively(folder,deleteFolderEntryId);
}
catch
{
}
finally
{
Release(folder);
}
}
}
catch
{
}
finally
{
Release(folders);
Release(session);
}
}
private void NavigateSubFoldersRecursively(Outlook.MAPIFolder folder, string deleteFolderEntryId)
{
Outlook.Folders folders = null;
try
{
folders = folder.Folders;
if (folders == null || folders.Count == 0)
return;
for (int i = 1; i <= folders.Count; i++)
{
var fld = folders[i];
if (fld.DefaultItemType == Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olAppointmentItem)
{
var listener = new OutlookItemsEventsClass(this, deleteFolderEntryId, fld.FullFolderPath);
listener.ConnectTo(fld, true, true);
calendarFolderListeners.Add(listener);
}
NavigateSubFoldersRecursively(fld, deleteFolderEntryId);
Release(fld);
}
}
catch
{
}
finally
{
Release(folders);
}
}
2. Find the correct listener for a given appointment whenever needed ( on inspector activate, item move etc):
private OutlookItemsEventsClass GetListener(Outlook.AppointmentItem appt)
{
Outlook.MAPIFolder folder = null;
try
{
folder = appt.Parent;
foreach(var listener in calendarFolderListeners)
{
if (listener.FullCalendarPath == folder.FullFolderPath)
return listener;
}
}
catch
{
}
finally
{
Release(folder);
}
return null;
}
3. Disconnect all listeners at shut down:
private void AddinModule_AddinBeginShutdown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (var listener in calendarFolderListeners)
{
listener.RemoveConnection();
}
}

Hello Horatiu,
I would use MAPIFolder.EntryId instead of MAPIFolder.FolderPath to identify a listener: I believe the latter may fire an exception in some cases.

You are right, thank you!
Changed to use EntryID instead of the unreliable folder path.
