Hi,
I have an C# Outlook addin (works with 2000-XP-2003 versions). On a user
button click, this addin opens a normal .net windows form.
This form is designed with VS.Net 2003, and there is HelpProvider
component attached, which uses a normal .chm help file.
Everything works just fine, the help is displayed, etc.
The problem is, that if there is a mailto: link in the help file, and
user clicks on it, it displays this message:
(Title of the box): Microsoft Internet Explorer
(Body):
Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not
properly installed (OK)
This happens only if this help file is opened from within the addin. If
I open the help file outside the addin, I.e. by doubleclicking on the
file in explorer, it starts a new mail message in Outlook as it should
be.
I can imagine what the problem may be, but I have no idea how to solve
it
(except of course to remove the link in the help )
It seems that this is a common problem, as I see this in Microsoft's
LookOut addin as well.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Cheers
Sunny
