Trouble using a plug-in

[Mani]

Hi,

I am trying to send programatically a custom message. In
Outlook 2003 I installed a plug-in for sending SMS
messages (which manually works fine). It comes with a
toolbar and a tab with settings in Options. I can command
from Outlook or Excel launching the form "Send New SMS"
(message class: IPM.Note - modified message form?), but I
cannot find the means to fill the two fields (phone # and
message body) and push the "SEND SMS" button. I added a
reference to the plug-in, but it only exposes the member
Uninstall of the class Connect.

Thanks,

Mani

If the addin doesn't expose any other methods or properties there's not much
you can do. About all you could accomplish would be by using SendKeys to
send the appropriate keyboard strokes, but SendKeys can be rather funky and
if anything else steals the focus the keys would be directed to that
application instead of the addin.

Thank you Ken, I thought so. It sufficiently automates
the task. Best regards, M
