MAPIOBJECT at Application level

According to :-https://dimastr.com/redemption/rdosession.htm
I should be able to link up a RDOSession with the outlook application.mapiobject. As far as I can see add-in express is built using the Outlook2000 interfaces so this isn't possible (although I have tried typecasting to the Outlook2010 interface - not implemented)

I think I'm missing something obvious - how do I implement the code to grab the MAPIOBJECT at application level?


VB code - but the principle is pretty similar to the Delphi equiv....

'use the same MAPI object as Outlook
'Namespace is returned from Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") in OOM
set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.MAPIOBJECT = Namespace.MAPIOBJECT

Hello Tim,

As your example suggests, you need to use the MAPIOBJECT property of the Namespace object. This property is not available in Outlook 2000. You need to import the type library for Outlook 2010 or above; find an example of importing and using the Outlook 2010 type library at http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=1&TID=12731&MID=64876#message64876.
