mapi32, AddressEntry.MAPIOBJECT and C# problem

K

Keith Ball

I am writing an Outlook Add-In for Outlook 2003. I have a mapi class that
reads properties from an AddressEntry.MAPIOBJECT. I get an exeption when
reading in a property.

System.OverflowException: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.
at System.IntPtr..ctor(Int64 value)
at BrainloopOutlookAddin.MAPI.GetMAPIProperty(Object oMAPIObject, UInt32
uiPropertyTag)

The strange thing is that the code works fine when the AddressEntry.Type is
"EX" but not when "SMTP". I would like to use mapi32 for both to avoid the
security popups.

Can anyone see where the problem may be?

// example calling code...
WriteToFile( "OutputAddressEntry() PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS: " +
MAPI.GetMAPIProperty( oAddressEntry.MAPIOBJECT, MAPI.PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS ) );

Hello Keith,

As I know you have to get the Iunknown from MAPIObject first,
Then query for the e.g. IMessage Interface from IUnknown.
Then you can query the IMAPIProps.

I have a small sample here, but only for MailItem.
But it should work similar for IID_IABContainer.

Here are my samples:

http://www.x4u.de/Outlook/Snippets/tabid/56/Default.aspx

And

http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1112

See:

// We can pass NULL here as parameter, so we do it.
MAPIInitialize(NULL);

// retrive the IUnknon Interface from our MAPIObject
comming from Outlook.
IUnknown = Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject(mapiObject);

// since HrGetOneProp needs a IMessage Interface, we
must query our IUnknown interface for the IMessage interface.
// create a Guid that we pass to retreive the IMessage
Interface.
Guid guidIMessage = new Guid(IID_IMessage);

// try to retrieve the IMessage interface, if we don't
get it, everything else is sensless.
if ( Marshal.QueryInterface(IUnknown, ref guidIMessage,
out IMessage) != S_OK) return "";

// create a Guid that we pass to retreive the IMAPIProp
Interface.
Guid guidIMAPIProp = new Guid(IID_IMAPIProp);

// try to retrieve the IMAPIProp interface from IMessage
Interface, everything else is sensless.
if ( Marshal.QueryInterface(IMessage, ref guidIMAPIProp,
out IMAPIProp) != S_OK) return "";

// double check, if we wave no pointer, exit...
if (IMAPIProp == NULL) return "";

// try to get the Property ( Property Tags can be found
with Outlook Spy from Dmitry Streblechenko )
// we pass the IMAPIProp Interface, the PropertyTag and
the pointer to the SPropValue to the function.
HrGetOneProp(IMAPIProp, propertyTag, out ptrPropValue);


Hope that helps...


with regards / mit freundlichen Grüßen

I tried your sample code only....
When i tried to use PR_ENTRYID(i.e. public const uint PR_ENTRYID =
0x0FFF0102;), it gives me the same error...

Thanks
Satya
