Create a new contact use MAPI?

[ryotyankou]

My application UI have a button, click the button, pop up outlook's new
contact dialog, let user fill their infos then save. Then i want to update my
contact list(add this new one to existing list).
I want to call the contact dialog use MAPI, like you click "new contact" in
outlook "new" menu. I checked code of MFCMAPI, found it really hard to do
this(too many codes). My real trouble is i want to know when user close and
save the contact called by my application so to update my list of contacts.
Any ideas? TIA.

I am not sure what this has to do with creating a new contact.
Have you looked at the Inspector.Close event?

Thank you Dmitry, i solved this problem by use outlook object model.
This is the code:
Outlook::_ApplicationPtr pOutlook("Outlook.Application");
Outlook::_NameSpacePtr pNameSpace = pOutlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");

CString profname = session.GetProfileName();
pNameSpace->Logon(_variant_t(profname) );
CComQIPtr<Outlook::_ContactItem> ocontact(pOutlook->CreateItem(Outlook::
olContactItem));
ocontact->Display((VARIANT_BOOL)1);

And it didn't pop up the security dialog.
