SDK for "Outlook Express" ?

[Maxim Kazitov]

Hi,

Does somebody know is it possible to create add-in for "Outlook Express"
(not for "Outlook") ?

Any references to SDK, examples, articles will be highly appreciated.

No, the only API officially supported by OE is Simple MAPI.

What you say about program "Fidolook SL" http://www.fidolook.com/index.html.en

Applications like that are created using low level Windows hooks rather than
a supported OE API. Needless to say they are bound to break with the new OE
versions/patches.

Dear Maxim:

You can officially use some features of OE with simplemapi ::

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcsample98/html/vcsmpsimplemapi.asp

That not include any interface to add buttons.

But, unofficially you can do some tricks (if you know about
programming)
and
add your own buttons and functions, some resources to see are:
