Is it possible to trap the drag/drop event? For example, when a user drags an email into a folder can I trap that event using ADX VSTO?

Thanks.

Thanks Sergey,

I downloaded that and looked at the samples. The samples did not use ADX VSTO, is there one that does? How do I add the ADX MAPI object/class to my project? It is not listed in Add Item or in the right click of the ADX Module.

Thanks,
Son

Hi Son.

You can add the component to the ADXModule via the 'Choose Items...' option of the Toolbox context menu in Visual Studio.

I'm wondering if it is possible to use this component to determine when an appt is dragged to a new time? I'm trying to differentiate between an appointment moving as a result of drag and drop vs changing as a result of an appt change in something like OWA and then the Outlook sync event moving the appt. The Items Change Event fires on either of these scenarios but I can't differentiate between the two.

Hi Mike.

Yes, the component should work properly in this scenario.

It only seems to fire the move event when it's moved between folders which is probably the intended behaviour. Is there another event I can monitor that I didn't see? Modify isn't going to tell me enough information.

I'm looking at the ExplorerBeforeItemPaste event as it fires when an appt is dropped. If you can you tell me how to get the appt item out of the ADXOlExplorerBeforeItemPasteEventArgs object, I think this might work.

Mike, do you work with Outlook 2007?
