Problem using POOM

Hello there,

I am trying to access the contacts in smartphones and Pocket PCs using POOM in Visual Studio 5.0.

I managed to use this code from the internet (with small changes):

//*******************************************************************

#include "pimstore.h"

typedef CComQIPtr<IPOutlookApp,&__uuidof(IPOutlookApp)>

IPOutlookAppPtr;

typedef CComQIPtr<IFolder,&__uuidof(IFolder)> IFolderPtr;

typedef CComQIPtr<IPOutlookItemCollection,

&__uuidof(IPOutlookItemCollection)>

IPOutlookItemCollectionPtr;

typedef CComQIPtr<ITask,&__uuidof(ITask)> ITaskPtr;

IPOutlookAppPtr m_pPOOMApp;

bool m_bLoggedIn;

HRESULT hr = 0;

CLSID clsid;

IFolderPtr pFolder;

LPOLESTR pProgID = L"PocketOutlook.Application";

hr = CoInitializeEx(NULL, 0);

if (hr == S_FALSE){return (FALSE);}

hr = CLSIDFromProgID(pProgID,&clsid);

hr = m_pPOOMApp.CoCreateInstance(clsid, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER);

if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) )

{

// perform login

if(SUCCEEDED(m_pPOOMApp->Logon(NULL)))

{

m_bLoggedIn = TRUE;

}

}

if (m_bLoggedIn && SUCCEEDED(m_pPOOMApp->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks, &pFolder)))

{

IPOutlookItemCollectionPtr pItemCol;

CComBSTR bstrText;

if (SUCCEEDED(pFolder->get_Items(&pItemCol)))

{

int cItems = 0;

hr = pItemCol->get_Count(&cItems);

for (int i = 1; i <= cItems; i++)

{

ITaskPtr pTask;

if ( SUCCEEDED(pItemCol->Item(i,(IDispatch**)&pTask)) )

{

hr = pTask->get_Subject(&bstrText);

}

}

}

}

CoUninitialize();

//*******************************************************************

Unfortunately, although I have contact items on my device, when I run :

hr = pItemCol->get_Count(&cItems);

cItems remains 0 even if there are 20 contacts in my list.

Would you have any idea what is wrong mith my code

Thanks a lot for your help.

regards,

NONO_COOL.

    Thanks a lot Rupali for your reply.

    I felt a bit stupid reading your message :) since that mistakes is obvious.

    However, I replaced "olFolderTasks" with "olFolderContacts" on the line you mentioned.

    After running :

    hr = pItemCol->get_Count(&cItems);

    same problem, cItems is still 0! even with many contacts... :(

    Any idea

    Thanks a lot again!

    Re-deploying doesn't change anything. Thanks for the suggestion though. I believe the problem comes from the need for the company to be registered. The contacts can't get accessed for security reasons. This is true with phones using Windows Mobile 2005. I will carry on working on the emulator, since it works there and leave my company deal with this later.

    Thanks guys for your help and suggestions.

    if (m_bLoggedIn && SUCCEEDED(m_pPOOMApp->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks, &pFolder)))

    The code line above is trying to get the default tasks folder which could explain why the count is zero. You need to get the default contacts folder using olFolderContacts instead of olFolderTasks.

    Thanks

    I just tried your (modified) code and didn't have any problems getting a count on either the emulator or the phone (I tried one PocketPC and on SmartPhone). I would recommend you try re-deploying your updated app, and make a change that you'll notice when you run the app to see that you are getting the latest version, because this should work.

  • AndyL

    I found out that with the last change it works in the emulator but not on the phone.

    Any suggestions is the most welcome... ;)

    Cheers!
