Looking for some Controls

[Eric Renken]

Does anyone know of any 3rd party controls that would give me basically what
the "Full Name..." or "Address" buttons in Outlook give?

Yes I could parse the names or the addresses myself, but I was looking for
someone who may have already created a parse routine separate out the names
to their individual fields and same with an address. In my UI I currently
have the user enter all the information separately, but I can really save
space if I let them do it in 1 text box and then parse it out.

Thanks,

Eric Renken

Hi Eric,

Based on my understanding, you'd like a 3rd party control that provides
basically the same function of the "Full Name" or "Address" buttons on
Outlook.

Sorry that I didn't find the "Full Name" or "Address" button in Outlook.
Could you please tell me where I could find them in Outlook?

In my UI I currently have the user enter all the information

separately, but I can really save space if I let them do it in 1 text box
and then parse it out.

I think a simple workaround is to let the user mark the name when he inputs
data, e.g. include the name with a double quotation mark. Then it's easy to
seperate the name from the address in the textbox.

If my suggestion is not appropriate to your scenario, please feel free to
let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your reply.

I understand what you want now.

I searched the internet and found the a 3rd party COM that you could use to
parse full name and address in your application.

You may visit the following link to get more information. Note that this
3rd party COM is not free, but it provides trial version.

"Name Object"

"Address Object"

Since this is a 3rd party product, Microsof won't guarantee the security
and stability of it.
