Well part of the problem is incorrectly formatted text. Changing the text
and how I write it to below, gives me text which I can read more clearly in
OutlookSpy. But still nothing in the body of the appointment.

LPSTR cRTF= "{\\rtf1\\ansi{\\fonttbl\\f0\\fswiss Helvetica;}\\f0\\par This
is some {\\b bold} text.\\par}";

hr = lpStreamRTFDest-Write(cRTF, strlen(cRTF), &cbRead);

I'm trying to put RTF formatted text into the body of an appointment
item. I've found various examples on the web but I'm still having some
problems. Using Outlook spy, I can see that the code I use below does
indeed put rtf into the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED property. Yet I see nothing in
the body. Does anyone see anything wrong with what I'm doing below?


m_pAppointment is an Outlook::_AppointmentItem
m_pWrapRTFStream is a pointer to WrapCompressedRTFStream. Typedef is
below
m_pRTFSync if a pointer to RTFSync. Typedef is below

typedef HRESULT (STDAPICALLTYPE *PwrapCompressedRTFStreamPtr)(
LPSTREAM lpCompressedRTFStream,
ULONG ulFlags,
LPSTREAM* lppUncompressedRTFStream);

typedef HRESULT (STDAPICALLTYPE *pRTFSyncPtr)(
LPMESSAGE lpMessage,
ULONG ulFlags,
BOOL* lpbMessageUpdated
);


--------------code starts
CComPtrIUnknown pUnk;
CComPtrIStream lpStreamRTFCompDest = NULL;
CComPtrIStream lpStreamRTFDest = NULL;
ULONG cbRead = 0;
BOOL fUpdated = FALSE ;

hr = m_pAppointment-get_MAPIOBJECT (&pUnk);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
CComPtrIMessage pMessage;
hr = pUnk-QueryInterface(IID_IMessage, (void **)&pMessage);

if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = pMessage-OpenProperty(PR_RTF_COMPRESSED, // property to open
&IID_IStream,
0,
MAPI_CREATE | MAPI_MODIFY | MAPI_DEFERRED_ERRORS,
(LPUNKNOWN *)&lpStreamRTFCompDest);


if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = m_pWrapRTFStream(lpStreamRTFCompDest,
MAPI_MODIFY | STORE_UNCOMPRESSED_RTF,
&lpStreamRTFDest);

CComBSTR rtStr(TEXT("{\\rtf1\\ansi{\\fonttbl\\f0\\fswiss
Helvetica;}\\f0\\par This is some {\\b bold} text.\\par}"));
hr = lpStreamRTFDest-Write(rtStr, rtStr.ByteLength(),
&cbRead);
hr = lpStreamRTFDest-Commit(STGC_OVERWRITE) ;
hr = m_pRTFSync(pMessage, RTF_SYNC_RTF_CHANGED, &fUpdated);
}
}

}
