getting the email address from an outlook _MailItem - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

Just to elaborate a bit on what Michael said, what I would do is define a data structure that will contain your shared data. Then write a function that will return a pointer to the shared data. Within that function use the implemention that Michael described. I have used this technique many, many times and it is very easy.

I have already define a simple structure for the data (3 integers and a 80 char string).

I have used Mailslots (hence the structure already defined) and Sockets, but never used File Mapping before. Any simple examples?

I have seen some but wapped up with other IPC stuff. Also never used the GUID before.

Sweep.

Thanks Rick. I had already found your first link last night and got it working before the e-mail came through.

You were right, quite simple to implement.

getting the email address from an outlook _MailItem

I have the following code that reads all the messages currently in the user's inbox and inserts them into a listview. I'm using automation and everything seems to be working fine except for getting the sender's email address. There's a property for getting the sender's name, but not the email address. here's the code I have so far. Hope anyone can help!! Thanks!!

void COtestDlg::OnRun() 
{

	MapiMessage mm;
	MAPIFolder				folderInbox;
	_NameSpace				ns;
	_Items						itemsMessages;
	_MailItem					mi;
	_Application			app;  // app is the Outlook 2000 application object
	
	
	
	// Start Outlook and get Application object...
	if(!app.CreateDispatch("Outlook.Application"))
	{
		AfxMessageBox("Couldn't start Outlook.");
	}
	else
	{
		ns = app.GetNamespace("MAPI");

		COleVariant vt;
		COleVariant vtOptional("");
		COleVariant vtTrue;
		vt.ChangeType(VT_BOOL);
		vt.boolVal = true;
		vt.ChangeType(VT_I2,NULL);

		ns.Logon(vtOptional, vtOptional, vtTrue, vtTrue);
		folderInbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(6);
		itemsMessages = folderInbox.GetItems();
		
		for (int x = 0; x < itemsMessages.GetCount(); x++)
		{
			
			mi = itemsMessages.Item(COleVariant((long) x + 1L));
			m_lvwResults.InsertItem(x,mi.GetSenderName());
			m_lvwResults.SetItemText(x,1,mi.GetSubject());
			m_lvwResults.SetItemText(x,2,mi.GetBody());
		}

		ns.Logoff();
		
	}	
}

If it's broken, I probably did it

is there a way to run programs with other programs?

jetournier4-May-04 4:59

Hello,
I have two programs that I have to use one after another. The first one's goal is to configure data you use with the second. So I have to leave the first to use the second. And if I want to change the configuration, I have to quit the second to return in the first one, change the configuration. Then I can quit the configuration program and come back in the second program.

So this is very fastidious because I always have to do the same thing twice (I always have to change the configuration once, and this is always the same thing)

I don't have the source code so I cannot modify it Cry | :((

So my question is (finally...) is there a way to do a program that runs other programs and that modifies comboboxes and stuff the way a REAL user could do it?...

Thank you in advance

If someone did not understand what I meant please tell me too

thanks but: findwindow and sendmessage can't work (I think) as I can't access the source code of the program I want to run(I want to run it with a program but the way a user could run it, and modify comboboxes choices, click on button...).

I'm not familiar with Spy++: I just made a few search on google as you recommended it, but it seems to show the threads that are running on the PC, the UC occupation and all this stuff so I don't understand the link with my question, could you precise your hint?

Thanks

You dont need source code.
Using Spy++ you can get the class of the window u want to send message to and the messages to send,
using FindWindow you cant get a handle to the window, and using SendMessage you just send the message you saw in Spy ++ to the window, thus making it behave just like if a user is testing it

Consider also using CWnd::Attach and CWnd::Detach

capturing message from app2

pnpfriend4-May-04 4:57

Hello.. All
I have my application and the application 2. app2 sends the window messages and I don't know how to capture those messages. I'm using .Net c++ and the following example was provided by app2.
My application is Dialog-based application.. and I don't know how to convert the following code or capture the messages from other application at all.

The app2 said register a message ( could be anything) and my application also has to register the same message as app2. (that's I don't know how)
then app2 will start sending messages and my app has to capture and process those messages. ( I have no idea how to capture the messages either)
I kind of have the idea of GetMessage() as it is shown in the example. but how?

<br />
HINSTANCE			hInst;<br />
LRESULT CALLBACK	TestWndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);<br />
<br />
int PASCAL WinMain(HINSTANCE hinstCurrent, HINSTANCE hinstPrevious, LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow)<br />
{<br />
 <br />
    WNDCLASS wc;<br />
<br />
    /* Register the window class. */<br />
    wc.style         = 0;<br />
    wc.lpfnWndProc   = TestWndProc;<br />
    wc.cbClsExtra    = 0;<br />
    wc.cbWndExtra    = 0;<br />
    wc.hInstance     = hInst;<br />
    wc.hIcon         = LoadIcon(hInst, TEXT("TestIcon"));<br />
    wc.hCursor       = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);<br />
    wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) (COLOR_WINDOW + 1);<br />
    wc.lpszMenuName  = TEXT("TESTMENU");<br />
    wc.lpszClassName = szMyClass;<br />
<br />
    if (!RegisterClass(&wc))<br />
        return FALSE;<br />
<br />
    // Create the window<br />
    HWND hwndMyWindow = CreateWindow(szMyClass, TEXT("Black Ice printer Driver Message Capture Sample"),<br />
                                WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0,<br />
                                CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, NULL, NULL,<br />
                                hInst, NULL );<br />
<br />
    if ( !hwndMyWindow )<br />
        return FALSE;<br />
<br />
	ShowWindow (hwndMyWindow, SW_SHOW);<br />
<br />
    // Get and dispatch messages until WM_QUIT message<br />
    while ( GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0 ) )<br />
    {<br />
        TranslateMessage(&msg); // translates virtual key codes<br />
        DispatchMessage(&msg);  // dispatches message to window<br />
    }<br />
    return (int) msg.wParam;    // return value of PostQuitMessage<br />
}<br />

Thank you very much
you can save my life.

Finding Mem Usage of another program

tjkrz4-May-04 4:16

To make a long story short, there's an external program that I have no control over that is consistantly leaking memory. This product is required by our customer, so we must use it. Mad | :mad:

Obviously, this program will cause Windows to run out of free memory if it is run long enough. Is there a way I can see the current Memory Usage of this other program -- like what Task Manager is displaying? I'd like my program to either warn the user or destroy that task if the size gets too large.

Any ideas?

Try CreateMemoryResourceNotification()

Also look up "Performance Monitoring" in the SDK documentation. (ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2004APR.1033/perfmon/base/performance_monitoring_architecture.htm[^] in MSDN)

Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

If you have psapi.dll then take a look at Collecting Memory Usage Information For a Process
