Re: Problem Opening Email when using InvokeHelper in C++

Just to let you know that I followed what you said, but it threw an unhandled exception.

Here is the code as it on screen

OpenOutlookNewMessageWithMsgFile(CString filePath)

//Call CreateItemFromTemplate to create new mailitem using late binding
LPDISPATH mailItem

static BYTE params[] = VTS_BSTR VTS_VARIANT ;

BSTR bFilePath = filePath.AllocSysString();

outlookApp->InvokeHelper(0x10b, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_DISPATCH, (void*)&mailItem, params, bFilePath, NULL);

outlookMailItem = new COleDispatchDriver(mailItem);

//Set User Properties
SetProperties();

//Set Display of Mail Item
VARIANT_BOOL modal = VARIANT_FALSE;
static BYTE params2[] = VTS_I4;
outlookMailItem->InvokeHelper(oxf0a6,DISPATCH_METHOD,VT_EMPTY, NULL, params2, &modal);

So, this is the whole for creating an email from template, but it is on outlookApp->InvokeHelper that I am having a problem. What am I doing wrong?

I believe your problem is with the last parameter to "CreateItemFromTemplate". NULL is not the correct way to pass an [in, optional] VARIANT. There is no need to convert filePath to a BSTR, presuming that "outlookApp" is indeed an COleDispatchDriver. Do cast it to an LPCTSTR, InvokeHelper expects an in param defined as a VTS_BSTR to be an LPCTSTR, MFC's implementation of COleDispathDrvier will do the BSTR conversion for you inside the InvokeHelper call.

OpenOutlookNewMessageWithMsgFile(CString filePath)
{
    COleVariant varOptional((long)DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);
    LPDISPATCH mailItem;
    static BYTE params [] = VTS_BSTR VTS_VARIANT ;
 
    outlookApp->InvokeHelper(0x10b, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_DISPATCH, (void*)&mailItem, params, (LPCTSTR)filePath, &varOptional);

Thank you for your reply.

Because I do not have a folder for the email to be created in and wish to use the default folder inside Outlook, what parameter should I use, or should I only pass in the parameters I am using and Outlook can then interpret this?

here is an algorithm that should do it, in pseudo-code:

char prev=0;
int count=0;
foreach(char c in the input) {
    if (c!=prev) {
        if (count>1) output(count);
        output(c);
        prev=c;
        count=0;
    }
    count++;
}

It is a bit tricky, I suggest you study it first (test it by hand!), then implement it in C and test it again.

Hi,
I am working Fodero eclipse c++. I have one unsigned char(one byte unsigned integer) variable.
i am passing some integer value. like

unsigned char aa= 10;

but aa is not assign that value? How to pass that value on unsigned char.

same like i am using unsigned long, i add 'u' on the end the passing number.

unsigned long bb= 10u;
here i got bb value is 10.

Your assignment looks valid. How did you test that aa does not hold the correct value? If you checked in the debugger, or pass it to cout, please remember that the type is still a character, and the standard representation is as a character. The value 10 is a non-prinitable character, and as such would show no visible output either in the debugger or in a printout, unless you convert aa to int first.

unsigned char aa = (unsigned char)10;

BTW: when you get build-time messages or run-time errors/exceptions, you should mention them verbatim in your question.

The statement is indeed correct. Probably the fault is in the way you check it.

You are getting a 10 as a binary value with that assignment.

If you use cout<< to print it out, however, you won't see a 10. That's because cout<< called on a char or unsigned char value always treats the value as a character, not a number. What you will see is that the next thing you output will begin on a new line. The 10 translates to a '\n' newline character.

To see the binary value of a char as a unsigned decimal value, use a typecast first.

unsigned char bb = 10;
cout << "** bb looks like [" << bb <<] this." << endl;
cout << "** (unsigned)bb looks like: " << (unsigned)bb << endl;

Which should display:

** bb looks like [
] this.
** (unsigned)bb looks like: 10

I put the unsigned char version in [] brackets so you can see what the effect is on the output.

Cheers,
Mike
