Hi Ken,

Thanks a lot for response. I can place DoEvents in the loop( say after
completing processing of each mail in the loop). But I could not find
ApplicationPtr-DoEvents for Outlook's ApplicationPtr. Can you please help
me in achieving DoEvents in C++ COM Addin for Outlook.

Regards,
Pradeep

If you're running a tight code loop that takes a lot of time that's to be
expected. Either call the process a number of times with a smaller count
of items to work with or place strategic DoEvents calls in your looping
code.

I'm trying to process all the emails of a folder using a COM addin. I
get the folder (MAPIFolderPtr). From that I can get mails using
GetItems. This whole loop of going through mails takes quite a while.
And unfortunately Outlook does not respond to keyboard commands ( e.g.
ctrl N) during this, also the preview pane does not change even if I
choose
another e-mail ( mouse is working). Is this a known issue with COM
addins or I need to take care of something special to avoid this.

Another issue is, if I fire print (-PrintOut) on any item this call
is not honoured until I finish all the processing of the folder and
return from my COM adding control.
It would be great if someone could help me or point me to right
direction.


Kind Regards,
Pradeep
