Hi everyone.
I have a question, and hopefully one of you clever people has an answer.
I know from reading Microsoft newsgroups that you can write a event in
Outlook or should I rather say use events that Outlook has.
Now the question is: I have a Com Plugin for Outlook, but now have the need
to trap certain events as they occur in Outlook. I have used a 3rd party
component to get my code into Outlook "Office Add-In Express".
So how will I be able to get the events in a Com Add-in? If possible a
reference or some example code.
Thanks in advance and have a wonderfull weekend.
Regards,
Freddy Rademeyer
 

I am not at all familiar with "Office Add-In Express", but if you have a
pointer to the original Outlook COM object, you can either use the Delphi
wrappers (which do support events) or handle the events the standard COM way
(www.techvanguards.com/com/concepts/events.asp).
Babelfish COM addin on my site (url below) handles the events explicitly
(see uOutlookEvents.pas unit).

Hi Oliver,
You know how it goes, got deadlines and try to do as fast as possible. Had a
quick lookover but didn't go into detail.
I will have a look at the examples.
Thanks
