In Active inspector when open a mail, If add an attachment to a mail and

dont call Save function then this attachment will not update on exchange

server for this mail.

But In active explorer when select a mail we add attachment to a mail and

dont save save function. Attachment is updated on exchange server for this

mail. Is there any reason for that? Can we avoid saving? Outlook

version-2003
 
How are you adding an attachment in ActiveExplorer()? Is it with code or

from the UI. If using code show it.

In general you always have to save, possibly unless in-cell editing is

enabled and that affects automatically saving any changes. See if the Saved

property on the item has changed after you add the attachment in the

Explorer.

I'm adding attachment in code under explorer_viewchange event(when selecta

mail item). When i add attachment to a mail in ActiveExplorer->ViewChange

event, mail item save property returns false. But when i select another mail

item item and check Save property of previous mail item where i add

attachment then it returns true. It means that attachment is added on

exchange server.

How to use in-cell editing ?? Can we avoid saving if we add an attachment.

My user is exchange server user and has cached mode on.

//in c++ event number is 0xf007

Outlook::_MailItemPtr pMailItem = NULL;

Explorer_ViewChange()

{

if(pMailItem != NULL)//if we select an item before and already add

attachment to it

{

bool issaved = pMailItem->GetSaved(); //GetSaved return true

}

else

{

Outlook::SelectionPtr spSelections = ActiveExplorer->Selection;

if( spSelections)

{

int selecteditems = spSelections->Count;

if(selecteditems == 1)

{

pMailItem = spSelections->Item(1);

pMailItem ->Attachments->Add("c:/filename.txt");

bool issaved = pMailItem->GetSaved(); //GetSaved

return false

}//here i dont call pMailItem->save function

}

}

}

Do you mean the ViewSwitch() event? There is no ViewChange() event. Why

aren't you using Explorer.SelectionChange(), that would be the correct event

to handle.

If you want to know whether or not an item in a Selection is changed you

handle SelectionChange(). When that fires you get the new Selection. You can

then set up handlers for each item in the Selection and handle the

AttachmentAdd() event or the BeforeAttachmentSave() event or any other

attachment related event you want to track.

So if i handle those attachment events and avoid saving then it will not

update on exchange server. But will it allow to add attachment to mail and

display in outlook when we select a mail?

i tried it but attachment still save on exchange server. I handle

beforeattachmentsave and addattachment and cancel the saving but attachment

still save on exchange server. I follow below link to avoid saving

http://codeidol.com/csharp/c-sharp-in-office/Working-with-Outlook-Events/Outlook-Item-Events/

To avoid saving when i select another mail i delete attachments from

previous mail and call save function. But this modify mail date. I want to

add attachment in mail without modifying its date.

I'm afraid what you want can't be done. If you modify an item it will get

some date related fields also modified. Not much you can do about that.

To modify item i'm only adding attachment for a selected item in outlook

explorer. And when select another item i delete attachment from previous

item where i add. All this i'm doing without saving item. But this action

save item on exchange server. But we can avoid this saving as below link

says that

http://codeidol.com/csharp/c-sharp-in-office/Working-with-Outlook-Events/Outlook-Item-Events/

My motive is to display attachments when select a item and delete them when

select another item. And this all should not modify on exchange server.

It it not possible?

I don't think what you want is possible, no. Not using the Outlook object

model anyway.

oh. It means i need to change my design again. To complete my task there is

one more way. I am adding an empty attachment to a mail on exchange server

using CDO. But when i see this mail in outlook/owa, i found attachment size

is change. it's 4 bytes or 64 bytes or 128 bytes. Dont know why but outlook

shows its size. I think if attachment size is 0 bytes then outlook will not

display it in right pane. When i open this attachment in outlook it has no

data. Can i hide this attachment? Means it should not display in right pane

when i select this mail in active explorer. Using CDO when i add this

attachment on exchange server i did not find any way to hide it. So i try in

outlook. I'm using following code to hide it in outlook. Code execute when

click on a mail(which has empty attachment) in active explorer.

Suppose mail item has one empty attachment

LPMESSAGE lpMessage = (IMessage*)(IUnknown*)

mailitem->Attachments->Item(1)->MAPIOBJECT;

SPropValue pProp;

pProp.ulPropTag = PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN;

pProp.Value.b = true;

HRESULT hr = HrSetOneProp(lpMessage, &pProp);

if(hr == S_OK)

lpMessage->SaveChanges(FORCE_SAVE);

Also i have tried to change other properties like PR_ATTACH_METHOD,

PR_ATTACH_FILE_NAME etc. but nothing happed. I have tried not to use

SaveChanges method but no result.

Take a look at the Redemption oriented discussion at

http://www.devnewsgroups.net/group/microsoft.public.office.developer.outlook.vba/topic37406.aspx

for information about using that property.

Thanks it's the example to use extended mapi in outlook addin which ask to

save mail and attachment after setting property.

Is there any example to set this property using CDO? I tried but could not

get succeed.

I have no idea about any examples using CDO, you can google and see if you

can find anything and you can check at www.cdolive.com and see if anything's

there. If there are any I'd imagine they'd be in VB and not in C++.
