 |
|
Hello all,
I have the following problem. I need to create an Appointment or Task item
in Outlook and set its body with RTF formatting. I know how to create the
item with Outlook object mode, but I see that Outlook object model does not
provide access to the RTF body and thus I need to get down to MAPI level. I
thought I could get the IMessage interface of the Appointment item from its
Outlook _AppointmentItem inteface by calling
AppointmentItem.MapiObject.QueryInterface with IMessage IID. But this
QueryInterface fails with E_FAIL return code. Can anyone comment why this
happens?
I tried a different route. I start a new MAPI session with MAPILogonEx, open
the message store that contains my Appointment with Session.OpenMsgStore
(passing MAPI_MODIFY for flags, since I need to modify my Appointment), and
then use the store object to get to my Appointment with MsgStore.OpenEntry,
again passing MAPI_MODIFY flag. This fails with MAPI_E_NO_ACCESS. The folder
where the Appointment is located is my personal Calendar folder, so I have
all access rights for it. If I try to do MsgStore.OpenEntry without
MAPI_MODIFY flag, the call successds, but then, obviously, I cannot modify
the Appointment.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Leonid.

1. If your code is running in a thread other than the main Outlook thread
(i.e. your code in not in an addin), you need to call MAPIInitalize() before
doing anything MAPI related, including QI'ing for IMessage.
2. I don't think MAPI_MODIFY is a valid flag for
IMAPISession.OpenMsgStore(). Try MAPI_BEST_ACCESS or MDB_WRITE instead.

Dmitry, thanks a lot for your tip to call MAPIInitalize before requesting
IMessage interface. That did the trick.
Thanks,
Leonid
