My application UI have a button, click the button, pop up outlook's new

contact dialog, let user fill their infos then save. Then i want to update my

contact list(add this new one to existing list).

I want to call the contact dialog use MAPI, like you click "new contact" in

outlook "new" menu. I checked code of MFCMAPI, found it really hard to do

this(too many codes). My real trouble is i want to know when user close and

save the contact called by my application so to update my list of contacts.

Any ideas? TIA.
 
I am not sure what this has to do with creating a new contact.

Have you looked at the Inspector.Close event?

Thank you Dmitry, i solved this problem by use outlook object model.

This is the code:

Outlook::_ApplicationPtr pOutlook("Outlook.Application");

Outlook::_NameSpacePtr pNameSpace = pOutlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");

CString profname = session.GetProfileName();

pNameSpace->Logon(_variant_t(profname) );

CComQIPtr<Outlook::_ContactItem> ocontact(pOutlook->CreateItem(Outlook::

olContactItem));

ocontact->Display((VARIANT_BOOL)1);

-------------------------------And it didn't pop up the security dialog.
