Pocket outlook plug-in ?

[Guest]

What is the way to create a pocket outlook plug in now we have access to out
look through Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.

Specifically, after composing email and tap the send, I would like to pop up
a message box asking the user if he wants to send this email also to
Salesforce.com. If the user says Yes, then I will send it to salesforce.com
using their Webservices api.

- Can we capture the tap of a send

Thanks for any help on this.

That isn't something which is supported within the managed PocketOutlook
functionality in WM5.0. Basically you'd have to hook into the events exposed
by MAPI (COM based API so you'll need to write native C++ code or use .NETCF
v2.0) and listen out for new messages arriving the the Sent Items folder of
your email account (will happen when email is sent - it moves from Outbox to
Sent Items), you can then prompt the user and as necessary read the
properties of the specific message in order to make your web services call.

Peter,
Thank you for your quick reply. I really appreciate it.

You said

"(COM based API so you'll need to write native C++ code or use .NETCF v2.0)
".

I am using .NETCF 2.0, does mean that I can listen to events from .NETCF
2.0. I was searching through the managed API for PocketOutlook and could not
find any events exposed. I may be wrong definetly. Please point me in the
correct direction. I really did not work in evc++.

Regards,
Venkat

Hi Peter,

Does your inhand.com InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook libraries support
this. If so, I will purchase and use them. I have not done native code and
looking for a quick way out.

Thanks,

No it doesn't support the MAPI events system which is necessary to get
notified when a message is created/sent etc. It does have the ability to
read existing emails from the folders though with WM5.0 libraries do not.
