Need Outlook c++ file msoutl.h

[info]

Don't any of you MVPs have a copy of this file -- msoutl.h-- it's referenced
in lots of MS sample code.

Don't any of you MVPs have a copy of this file -- msoutl.h-- it's
referenced
in lots of MS sample code.

Two points:

1) Office development issues don't come up a lot in this group.
2) Rarely does a developer have the right to distribute header and source
files not created by him

I'd post again in a group that focuses on extending MS Office.

That said, and for what it is worth, I just looked at a very old project of
mine wherein I needed to access Outlook's contact list. I imported (#import)
the file MSOUTL.OLB and the compiler created .tli and .tlh files which
define the C++ wrappers to the COM objects in question.

Regards,
Will

Yes, I generated the wrapper classes from msoutl.olb -- still need the file
msoutl.h -- don't think emailing it would break any rules -- info at
mediaclubroyale dot com.

Thanx.

What makes you think you need that file? Presumably you're trying to re-use
some code that used a file with that name that was produced by some tool.

In any case, the official API for Outlook is defined by the msoutl.olb file,
not by a header. You can use #import to generate .tlh/tli files, or you can
use the MFC wizards to create a wrapper - perhaps that's what was in the
msoutl.h file that you seek.

As I said, I don't do Office development and I don't have the file.

You'd be better off asking in a group populate by Office developers.

How To Automate Outlook Using Visual C++/MFC

-- the code won't compile without the file msoutl.h -- can't seem to find it
anywhere on the web -- most Outlook developers are in vb.net, not C++
-- can't generate the file -- so was hoping someone could email it to me --

Have you actually read the instructions in that KB article?

4. Bring up the ClassWizard (Control-W) click the Automation Tab, and choose
"From a type library" under the Add Class menu.

5. In the dialog box that comes up, navigate to the directory where Outlook
is installed, and choose the Outlook type library (see table below). Select
all the items it finds, and click OK to have ClassWizard generate MFC
wrapper classes for all of them: Outlook Version Type Library
97 msoutl8.olb
98 msoutl85.olb
2000 msoutl9.olb
2002 msoutl.olb
2003 msoutl.olb

Following those steps will PRODUCE msoutl.h, assuming you have Outlook 2002
or 2003. Note that those steps are for VC6. For VC7.1, the procedure to
get the MFC class wizard to produce the header file is no doubt different
(ask on the MFC group if you can't figure out how to do it).

If you're not using MFC, then the procedure givein in the KB article is not
relevant - you should use #import instead.

-cd

Yea -- I was trying to get it work from C++ .Net (2003) -- which is a whole
different animal and never kicks out msoutl.h when you generate from the
typelib -- I reverted back to C++ 6.0 and it all works.

Thanks for your help.

You can do it from VC7.1, but it works a bit differently. From the Class
View, right-click on the project and choose Add|Add Class... from the
context menu. Choose "MFC Class from TypeLib" from the borwser that
appears, then select the Outlook type library, and select the interfaces you
want wrappers for. Unlike VC6, which generated a single large header file
that contains wrappers for the entire type library, VC7.1 will create one
header for each interface that you selected.
