Reading calendar appointments from Outlook: C++ example ne
-
Where should I look for a code sample showing how to import appointments from the Outlook calendar into a Visual C++ 6.0 program? Here are some variations I'm concerned about: 1) Which versions of Outlook and Outlook Express (and associated libraries) will need special support? 2) Which Windows versions and Exchange versions will need special support? (Windows 95 and later, Windows NT 4.0 and later.) 3) What development packages do I need to build and debug applications? 4) Which newsgroups and other online forums are the best places to get help on this subject? (I have also posted this query in microsoft.public.win32.programmer.messaging and microsoft.public.exchange2000.development.) Which is the appropriate section of CodeProject.com? -- Phil Davidson phil@phildavidson.com phil.davidson@broderbund.com

There are two ways of getting at the appointment data in Outlook. You can go low-level and use MAPI or stick with the easier CDO route. MSDN should have information on both ways. MAPI is trickier and is slowly being phased out by Microsoft. Have a look at http:\\www.slipstick.com as a starting point. It has lots of resources for developing with Outlook and Exchange.
