Automate Microsoft Outlook from C++Contents
The demo programThe demo program simply consist of a dialog box allowing you to fill in the information required to drive the class described in this article. The first thing you will notice by trying it is that unfortunately, it is not possible to completely automate the process as Outlook displays a security prompt asking the user to authorize the transmission of the e-mail.
Secondly, since the call to ConclusionTo conclude, the fact that the Outlook security model requires the end user to authorize an e-mail to be sent automatically greatly reduce the usefulness of automating Outlook. There exist a workaround to this problem that is to use the Extended MAPI and I will be investigating this option. If this is something that you would like to be notified when I come up with something, you can just let me know that you would like to be notified by sending me an e-mail with my small test program! For now, the procedure to automate Outlook is not limited to only Outlook. There is a lot of applications that you can automate to keep you busy until my next C++ Windows programming tutorial. Have fun! BibliographyIn this section, you will find the books that I have consulted to build this C++ Windows programming article. Those books are great and filled with Windows/COM and Outlook programming gems that you should know. It is strongly recommended that you get yourself a copy of these books especially since from time to time, you can find these books at a bargain price. Take the time to check the prices. This is maybe your lucky day today!
