Hello,
Regarding the events captured by AddinExpress (ADXOutlookItemEvents) when a new email or draft is created/opened, or when an email is created from an external program, I have observed that:
1. When a new email is created, the ProcessWrite
event is called.
2. When a draft is opened, the ProcessRead
event is called, followed by the ProcessWrite method
3. When an attachment is sent via an external program, for example File Explorer or Adobe, the ProcessRead
event is called.
4. When a .msg file is opened, the ProcessRead
event is called.
5. When a .oft file is opened, the ProcessWrite
event is called.
I understand that when a new email is opened, only the ProcessWrite event is called, because there is nothing to be read.
However, this logic is not clear to me for #2, #3, #4 and #5.
Could somebody please explain to me why
for #2 both ProcessRead
and ProcessWrite
are called,
for #3 and #4 ProcessRead
is called
and for #5 ProcessWrite
is called?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Best wishes,
Mark |

Hello Mark,
Add-in Express doesn't generate these events; they are generated by Outlook itself. I'm afraid, there cannot be a real explanation to what you see because Microsoft provides no document describing the logic behind these events.
ProcessRead is mapped to the {item type}.Read event; the Remarks section at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/Outlook.MailItem.Read reads as follows:
The Read event differs from the Open event in that Read occurs whenever the user selects the item in a view that supports in-cell editing as well as when the item is being opened in an Inspector.
I suppose you see the Read events because you open an inspector or the inline editor window.
ProcessWite is mapped to the {item type}.Write event; the event description at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.mailitem.write reads as follows:
Occurs when an instance of the parent object is saved, either explicitly (for example, using the Save or SaveAs methods) or implicitly (for example, in response to a prompt when closing the item's inspector).
I suppose you see the Write event either because there's something to write or because this event simply marks a certain stage of opening the item in the corresponding way. This explanation doesn't seem perfectly right to me. Alas, I don't have any other.

Hi Andrei,
Yes, I will. I first need to get my head around this "uncertainty" in how different events are called for very similar situations. I will let you know if I have additional questions.
Best wishes,

Hi Andrei,
I was going to use the add-in express outlook event tool, but I saw in the readme file that it only supports Outlook version 2000 - 2013. Do you know when this tool will support Outlook 2016 and 2019?
Best regards,
Mark |

Hello Mark,
At https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2010/07/01/outlook-events-tool/, we write:
...free add-in or rather tool that can help you learn events of the Outlook 2000-2016 Object Model .
Install the add-in, grab the source code, uninstall the add-in, and build the source code. This way, you'll get the add-in working with the Outlook versions supported by the Add-in Express version installed on your development machine.

Hi Andrei,
I've installed v1.0.6 of the Outlook Event Logger but I cannot get it to work. As you mentioned, I've
- installed the add-in
- placed the source code in a separate folder
- uninstalled the add-in
- build the source code
Then to run Outlook, I selected Outlook under Start External Program and I also registered this project with Add-In Express. However, the program does not seem to start (it has very high spikes in CPU and the splash screen of Outlook keeps open with the text Processing... .
Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong or provide me with a link of a manual?
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Mark |
