I have an app that's trying to send email via Simple MAPI. When the default client is Oulook, the New Message window that comes up appears to lose focus. I am able to tab thru the varous controls on the message window, but I cannot set the focus to anything inside the window (New Message) with the mouse. Clicking on a different app and then coming back to the New Message window "fixes" the problem. I'm passing 0 for the parent window handle. I've tried passing in the handle of the main application window, but it did not make a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what my two MAPI calls look like: error = MAPILogon(IntPtr.Zero, null, null, MapiNewSession | MapiLogonUi, 0, ref session); error = MAPISendMail(session, IntPtr.Zero, mapiMessage, MapiDialog | MapiLogonUi, 0);

Thanks Curtis. I need something more "robust". though. There is no capability listed for a fax driver and I can't use the driver/printer name because of localization issues (the app should be designed to work in other countries, as well). Any other ideas? I've also tried Win32 API EnumPrinters with no luck. cobra2005

Is there a way to determine whether an installed print driver (as shown in PrintDialog) is for a printer or a fax? PrinterSettings doesn't seem to provide that kind of information. cobra2005

Is there a way to "hide" some of the printers that are normally seen in a PrintDialog? I have an application that's required to show only the printers (not faxes or imaging drivers) when printing or only faxes when faxing. cobra2005

This does not work. I don't think that mailto supports attachments. Any other ideas? cobra2005

Thanks! Is there ANY WAY to specify a file to be sent as an attachment? Seems like there has to be because I could right click on the file and select Send To -> Mail Recipient and I get the send email client with the file attached. Any help would be greately appreciated. cobra2005

forgot to mention that I only want to fire up the Send window (equivalent to what's happening when you do a Mail -> New Message from within IE). cobra2005

Any ideas on how to launch the default email client from within a C# application, attach a file, and specify a subject line and message body? I'd appreciate any input. cobra2005

What should be the connect string if I want to connect to a Windows 2003 shared fax? I've tried using the name that apears under "Printers and Faxes", but I got an exception. I could fax fine if I use my local driver. Any ideas? // this uses the local fax driver and it works faxServer.Connect(null); // this tries to use the shared service and it raises an Invalid handle exception faxServer.Connect("server name"); tom d

The link you've indicated has to do with sending a fax from a web page. All I want to do use COM-Object (faxcom.dll) to fax a PDF document. I want to "attach" the document to the object and fire up the Send Fax Wizard. cobra2005

Thanks, but that's not entirely what I need. I need to use the Send Fax windows client and prompt the user for fax number, location, etc, etc. Any ideas would be greately appreciated. cobra2005

I want to initiate the sending of a fax from within a C# application. I want to specify the file I want to send and then launch the Send Fax Wizard allowing the user to type in the fax number, the To, etc... Does anyone know how to do this? I noticed that Send Fax Wizard does not allow for attaching files. I was able to send faxes bypassing the Send Fax Wizard all together, but that's not entirely what I need. Many thanks. tom d
