Drag & Drop

[Guest]

I am using Outlook 2000.

I have created one public folder called "Central Company Contact".

I have created a contact form "CCContact" and published in "Central
Company Contact" folder.

Whenever user drops the contact from the default contact folder to
"Central Company Contact" folder, I like to convert to default contact to
"CCContact" then added to "Central Company Contact". How to do it ?

You would need either an Exchange event sink to perform the conversion at
the server level or a COM add-in running on every machine to perform the
conversion at the client level.

I have created add-in for the outlook.

How to convert default contact item to "CCContact" item. I am trying to do
in ItemAdded event for the Items collection.

In the ItemAdd event handler, simply change the MessageClass property and
save the item.

Thanks. It is working. But one issue. After chaning the MessageClass, I am
trying to display the contact, but it is showing the default contact form.
When i reopen the contact again , it is showing the "CCContact" form.

Your code needs to dereference the item after you change the MessageClass.

thanks for the answer. but I am still getting the same result. There is the
piece of code that changes the MessageClass:


if ( ! Item.MessageClass.Equals("IPM.Contact.CCContact") )
{
string entryID = item.EntryID;
Item.MessageClass = "IPM.Contact.CCContact";
Item.Save();
Item.Close(MSOutlook.OlInspectorClose.olSave);


Item = null;
Item =
(MSOutlook._ContactItem)m_outlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetItemFromID(entryID, System.Type.Missing);
Item.Display(false);
}
