Hi all,

I have a rather interesting issue with Outlook 2003. When a create a new

email message using automation outlook will crash if I try to request the

word editor(GetWordEditor) during the new inspector event.

***************************************

My settings

***************************************

1. I have Word selected as my default HTML editor. So every new message

uses word.

2. Every thing works perfect when I create a new message using Outlook menu

or new message button. (No Issues at all)

Here is the scenario the breaks.

***************************************

From button command in main window

***************************************

CComPtr<IDispatch> spDisp;

HRESULT hr = m_spApplication->raw_CreateItem(Outlook::eek:lMailItem, &spDisp);

if(SUCCEEDED(hr) && spDisp)

{

CComPtr<Outlook::_MailItem> spMailItem;

hr = spDisp->QueryInterface(__uuidof(Outlook::_MailItem),

(LPVOID*)&spMailItem);

if(SUCCEEDED(hr) && spMailItem)

{

spMailItem->PutBodyFormat(Outlook::eek:lFormatHTML);

// This will generate the "new" inspector event.

spMailItem->Display(_variant_t(true));

}

}

***************************************

In the new inspector

***************************************

if(m_spInspector->GetEditorType() == Outlook::eek:lEditorWord)

m_bEditorIsWord = TRUE;

if(m_bEditorIsWord)

{

KABOOOOOM !!!!
> >>>>>>CComPtr<IDispatch> spD = m_spInspector->GetWordEditor();


<<<<<<<<<<<<

KABOOOOOM !!!! The dispatch pointer is NULL!!! Uhg!!!!

}

IF I comment out the faulty lines of code -- surprisingly --- the new

message will invoke the HTML editor and NOT the word editor. STRANGE!! This

happens on every machine I have tested this on.

Has anybody run into this issue?

Thanks,

Tom -
 
More info ....

I switched the email editor to HTML only and it still fails. It appears to

me that the inspector is returning a bad value for GetEditorType()

FWIW, when NewInspector() fires you get what are called weak object

references for the Inspector and for the Inspector.CurrentItem. This is a

worst case with WordMail and with Outlook 2007 or later. My rule of thumb is

to only check for Inspector.CurrentItem.Class or CurrentItem.MessageClass in

that event and to defer anything else to the first Inspector.Activate()

event handler on the Inspector. By that time the object references are

strong and fully fleshed out.
