IAddrBook::NewEntry method (wabiab.h)

  • Article

Displays a blank dialog box that enables the user to create a new entry.

Syntax

HRESULT NewEntry(
  ULONG     ulUIParam,
  ULONG     ulFlags,
  ULONG     cbEIDContainer,
  LPENTRYID lpEIDContainer,
  ULONG     cbEIDNewEntryTpl,
  LPENTRYID lpEIDNewEntryTpl,
  ULONG     *lpcbEIDNewEntry,
  LPENTRYID *lppEIDNewEntry
);

Parameters

ulUIParam

Value of type ULONG_PTR that specifies the parent window handle for dialog boxes.

ulFlags

Reserved. Must be set to 0.

cbEIDContainer

Value of type ULONG that specifies the size of lpEIDContainer.

lpEIDContainer

Pointer to a variable of type ENTRYID that specifies the entry identifier of the container where the new address is to be created. If the value of this parameter is NULL, the method creates the entry in the root container. Note that this differs from the MAPI implementation of NewEntry.

cbEIDNewEntryTpl

Value of type ULONG that specifies the template entry identifier used to determine the object being created.

lpEIDNewEntryTpl

Pointer to a variable of type ENTRYID that specifies the template entry identifier used to determine the object being created.

lpcbEIDNewEntry

Pointer to a variable of type ULONG that specifies the returned size of the contents of lppEIDNewEntry.

lppEIDNewEntry

Address of a pointer to a variable of type ENTRYID that receives the returned entry identifier of the new entry.

Return value

HRESULT

Remarks

To create a new entry in the Windows Address Book (WAB) without showing any dialog boxes, use CreateEntry. The cbEIDNewEntryTpl and the lpEIDNewEntryTpl are the template entry identifiers that define the kind of object being created. To obtain the template entry identifiers, open any Windows Address Book (WAB) container and request the PR_DEF_CREATE_MAILUSER or PR_DEF_CREATE_DL property from the container by calling IMAPIProp::GetProps. The resulting binary properties are the corresponding template identifiers.
