IPOutlookApp

Article
08/28/2006

The IPOutlookApp interface represents the Pocket Outlook application object. The Pocket Outlook application object serves the following purposes:

As the root object, it provides access to all other objects in the Pocket Outlook hierarchy.
It provides direct access to newly created items without having to traverse the object hierarchy.
It provides direct access to existing items.

An application creates this interface by calling CoCreateInstance, using the CLSID_Application globally unique identifier (GUID), and receiving a reference to an application object. The application object is the only Pocket Outlook object retrieved with CoCreateInstance.

The following example shows how to create an application object, log the user on, and display the Pocket Outlook version.

#define INITGUID
#include <windows.h>
#include <pimstore.h>

HRESULT hr;
IPOutlookApp * polApp;

// Initialize COM for Pocket Outlook.
if (FAILED(CoInitializeEx(NULL, 0))) return FALSE;

// Get the application object.
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Application, 
                      NULL, 
                      CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                      IID_IPOutlookApp, 
                      (LPVOID*)&polApp);
if (FAILED(hr)) return FALSE;

// Log on to Pocket Outlook.
hr = polApp->Logon(NULL);
if (FAILED(hr)) return FALSE;

// Get the version and display it in a message box.
BSTR pwszVersion = NULL;
polApp->getVersion(&pwszVersion);
MessageBox(NULL, pwszVersion, TEXT("POOM Version"), MB_SETFOREGROUND |
MB_OK);
