Hi,
Thanks for your response. I am have already gone through Dimstry's
article and I have already discussed the topic with him. I know the
interfaces to be used. But what I want to know is that "do I need to
create a .idl file or just a .h file with the interface definitions".
I have created the attached .h file, AccountManager.h (its not complete
thought but the interface IOlkAccountManager is complete) and trying
to create and object of IOlkAccountManager, by these lines
IOlkAccountManager * ppv;
CoCreateInstance(CLSID_OlkAccountManager,NULL, 0,
IID_IOlkAccountManager, (void**)&ppv);
For this I get Linker error,
MAPI1Dlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_CLSID_OlkAccountManager
MAPI1Dlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_IID_IOlkAccountManager
What should I do?? If I have to create a library for these, what will be
the Library's GUID? I didn't find any thing mentioned in the MSDN for
the library. Only Interfaces are mentioned.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh,
Unfortunately the current release of Outlook Integration API does not
include any headers and DLLs that can be imported. If you want to use it,
you may have to create the header file by yourself and then use
CoCreateInstance() to create an instance. I think that you are on the right
way by creating your own IDL file for the API now.
You may refer to:

Regarding the error "statements outside library block are illegal in
mktyplib compatibility mode" in your second response, per my experiences,
you should be able to resolve it according to either of the following two
methods:
1. Put all the definitions of interfaces, coclasses and enums etc inside a
library block like this:
[
uuid(<library guid>),
version(<library version>),
helpstring(<library description>)
]
library MyLib
{
// interfaces, coclasses, enums etc
}
2. Configure the MIDL not to be mktyblib-compatible. In Visual Studio,
right-click the IDL file, click Properties, expand MIDL->General and set
"MkTypLib compatible" to No.
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.
Best regards,
Charles Wang
