dear AIE-Team,

today I got my installation code for Add-In-Express premium. At first glance I am very impressed! Really!

I would like to develop an Outlook Add-In, which shows a button on the new mail window. On pressing this button, I should be able to access the Mail-Text, Mail.Subject and to add an additional Attachment.

Are there any sample codes, which show some of these functions?

regards from Austria

Hi Alfred.

What version of Visual Studio .NET do you use?

I develop in

Visiual Studio 2005!

Alfred, there is the Print button in the Outlook main menu.
Doesn't it fit for you?

Sergey,

no, printing should be automaticly without any user interaction. Mailtext should be printed to PDF printer, file catched and attached to current mail. Subject and Mailtext should be altered to show, that the former mailbody was attached as a PDF.

for this i would need to print the mailbody and access the mail during runtime! (attachment, mailtext, subject)

Alfred, I am afraid it is not possible to print mails via the Outlook Object Model.

thank you for your answer!

no problem! I can do that after sending!

but is it possible to print the mailtext? can be even afterwards

if I use

PrintTime = DateTime.Now;
Outlook.ApplicationClass outlookApp = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
Outlook.MailItem mailItem = outlookApp as Outlook.MailItem;

System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pd = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();

// Es wird überprüft ob Einstellungen vorhanden sind
if (pd.PrinterSettings == null) pd.PrinterSettings = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();

// Druckername wird gesetzt
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "xyzmo Seal";

// register for the end print notification
pd.EndPrint += new PrintEventHandler(document_EndPrint);

// Ausdruck wird gestartet
pd.Print();

then just an empty page will be printed!

Yes, it should work. See the following example in MSDN:
