address book access of MS Outlook

[Rohan lotlikat]

Hi

Following code has a problem :
m_lpAdrBook->GetPAB(&ulEntryID,&lpEntryID);

LPCIID lpInterface = NULL;
ULONG ulFlags = 0;//MAPI_BEST_ACCESS;
ULONG ulObjType;
if(ulEntryID && lpEntryID)
LPABCONT m_pIABCon;
m_lpAdrBook->OpenEntry(ulEntryID,lpEntryID,NULL,ulFlags,
&ulObjType,(LPUNKNOWN*)&m_pIABCon);

LPMAPITABLE pIMPTable;

if(m_pIABCon)
m_pIABCon->GetContentsTable(0,&pIMPTable);
SizedSPropTagArray ( 3, sptCols ) = { 3,
PR_ENTRYID,
PR_DISPLAY_NAME,PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS };
LPSRowSet pABCRows = NULL;
HrQueryAllRows
(pIMPTable,(SPropTagArray*)&sptCols, NULL, NULL, 0,&pABCRows);

pABCRows->cRows is 0

Can you help her please .. i cant figure out whats going wrong.

Which address container is configured as a PAB? What do you see in
OutlookSpy (click IAddrBook, GetPAB)?

Hi Dmitry

Unfortunately my Outlook Spy has expired. I cant use it any more.

Do i need to setPAB explicity ? Can u help me withsample code of grabbing
addresses from MS Outlook using pure MAPI?

HrFindExchangeGlobalAddressList needs edk.h thats creates linking problems.

I also tried the other way:
I used MSOUT.OLB
--got MAPI namespace
--got olFolderContacts folders
--got items from folders
--looped thru the items and got contactItem Ptr for each.
--then pContact->get_MAPIOBJECT(&pUnk); for each contact..
--then used HrGetOneProp((IMAPIProp*)pUnk,flags,(LPSPropValue FAR *)&lpsProp)
;

BUT it does not work ..i set flag to PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS

dmitry can u help me out please ..

regards
Rohan

HrFindExchangeGlobalAddressList returns GAL, it has nothing to do with PAB.
The PAB can be set in the Outlook UI: open the address book window
(Ctrl+Shift+B) and select Tools|Options. What does "Keep personal addresses
in" show?

Hey Dmitry
"Keep personla addresses " shows contacts

But i got it working .. i used
m_lpAddrBook->GetDefaultDir(&ulEntry,&lpEntryId);
this waorks fine .. i hope its the right way.

Thanx a lots dmitry
I need little more help on thread ...
i uses
_beginthreadex(NULL,5000000,Find,(void*)Obj,0,&notUsed);
and in Find() i run through all the messages in all the folders..(each and
every ) ..
I get stack overflow and sometimes no memory error... why is that? do i need
to increase stack size?

I use CComPtrs in the Find() ..so i guess there should not be mem leak..Can
you please me here?

regards
Rohan

Do not perform search by reading each and every message. Use either
MAPIFolder.Items.Find/FindNext or Restrict in Outlook Object Model or
IMAPITable::FindRow/Restrict in Extended MAPI.
I have no idea about the stack overflow - impossible to tell without seeing
(and running) the code.

Hi Dmitry

Actually i need to search each message as i am not search for any particular
item ..i need search each message and show what i find.

also i cam across a new problem.
mFolder->get_items(pContacts);
pContacts->find("[Email1Address = (e-mail address removed)]",&pDisp);

The above code does not find the contact.But if there is no '.' in the
search string it works fine . like below

pContacts->Find("[Email1Address = (e-mail address removed)]",&pDisp);

can you help as to what is right way to use Find()

Regards
Rohan

 

[Dmitry Streblechenko]

I really don't know, I don't use OOM for searching.
Are you sure you have the syntax right? Shouldn't it be

("[Email1Address] = ""(e-mail address removed)""")

Hi Dmitry

yes the syntax is right. it works fine for others.

I tried a new approach using MAPI. following is the piece of code.
Upfortunately this also does not work (not at all)

lpIABCon->GetContentsTable(0,&pIMPTable);
//Do i need to setcolumns for find?
hres = pIMPTable->SetColumns((LPSPropTagArray)&abCol, 0);

hres = MAPIAllocateBuffer( sizeof(SRestriction),
reinterpret_cast<LPVOID*>(&pRes) );
if(FAILED(hres))
return;


lpSProp.Value.lpszA = "(e-mail address removed)";
lpSProp.ulPropTag = PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS;
pRes->rt = RES_PROPERTY;
pRes->res.resProperty.relop = RELOP_EQ; pRes->res.resProperty.lpProp =
&lpSProp; pRes->res.resProperty.ulPropTag = PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS;

hres = pIMPTable->SeekRow(BOOKMARK_BEGINNING, 0, NULL);

hres = pIMPTable->FindRow(pRes,BOOKMARK_BEGINNING,DIR_BACKWARD)
//tried NULL in place of DIR_BACKWARD too
hres has -21472...something ..
it does not match MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND or S_OK..

i tries resContent too .. can you help me here dmirty

how do you find a if the a emailaddress is already present in the address
book

Regards
ROhan

Where does lpIABCon come from? It is IMAPIFolder or IABContainer?
In case of IABContainer, note taht most AB providers only support PR_ANR
restrictions.
