Inserting hyperlinked image in message body

[Pradeep]

Sorry for cross posting, already posted on
microsoft.public.outlook.pragram_addin, but couldn't get any response
from there...

The objective is to insert a hyperlinked image in message being
composed by user. I'm doing this in C++ com addin. Any pointers to
such code?

Here is what I have done till now:


IDispatchPtr pDispWordEditor;
_DocumentPtr pDocumentPtr;
InlineShapePtr pInlineShapePtr;
HyperlinkPtr pHyperLinkPtr;
_bstr_t address("http://www.google.com");


pDispWordEditor = pInspector->GetWordEditor(); //pInspector is
pointer
to inspector
pDispWordEditor->QueryInterface(__uuidof(_Document),
(LPVOID*)&pDocumentPtr);


pInlineShapePtr = pDocumentPtr->Application->Selection->InlineShapes-

AddPicture("C:\\image001.gif");

pHyperLinkPtr = pInlineShapePtr->Hyperlink;
pHyperLinkPtr->Address = address;

everything goes fine but, it crashes at last line where I try to set
pHyperLinkPtr->Address.


I investigated and found that. It might require to add hyperlink to
Hyperlinks collection of document. So i tried :


pInlineShapePtr->Select();
pHyperLinkPtr = pDocumentPtr->Application->ActiveDocument-

Hyperlinks-


Add(pDocumentPtr->Application->Selection->Range);

But it is crashing at this line. Any clues?

This appraoch will serve the purpose in case word is editor (which I
think is always true for Outlook2007). How would this be achieved if
word in not editor in Outlook 2003.

In Outlook 2003 with Word not the editor, you'd update the HTMLEditor property with your fully tagged HTML, including <a> and <img> elements for the link and image. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/htmlimg.htm for a sample that demonstrates how to add an embedded image.
