Drag and Drop mails from Outlook to Clarion6 Application

I have been looking on the internet to solve my drag and drop problem.

We have a Clarion Winapp application build in Clarion6 (win32). It is partly

programmed in ABC and partly still in legacy.

We are able to drag and drop any file from the windows desktop or file

explorer, including msg files. Our users would like drag and drop mails

directly from outlook to our Clarion app. As you might know, this does not

work without extra coding.

Who can help?
 
Whe nyou drag a message from Outlook, you get multiple drag/drop formats,

one of them will be the regular file, which is just an MSG file.

You can open an MSG file using RDOsession.GetMessageFromMsgFile in

Redemption

You can also cheat my assuming that for a message to be dragged from

Outlook, it needs to be selected first, which means you can use the

Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection collection.

Dmitry,

I am not sure what to do with your answer:

# Does it mean we need to use the Outlook Redemption functions?

# Can it be done without Redemption?

# It does not addres our specific Clarion question on drag and drop.

Hopefully you are able to provide more info.

No.

Yes. You would need to read the MSG file contents or use the

Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection trick

I know nothing about Clarion, sorry. But I can answer Outlook specific

questions.

Dmitry,

let me rephrase the question a little bit.

Do you know of any DLL's that are able to export the selected mail in

Outlook in MSG format in a directory of choice?

That way we can turn the proces around:

If you can access the Outlook Object Model in Clarion, you shoudl be able to

loop through the items in the Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection

collection and call SaveAs for each item.
