Hi,

I'm using the following code to get the IMAPIProp-Pointer to the
current Outlook mail window. Worked nicely so far. But when I'm testing
it with Outlook 2007 beta, the GetMAPIOBJECT call causes an exception.

If I perform the same steps as the program below does with OutlookSpy
and Outlook 2007 everything works nicely - so what am I doing wrong,
here? I'd be grateful for any ideas...

THANKS!

Outlook::_InspectorPtr spInspector = m_OLAppPtr-ActiveWindow();
if (spInspector)
{
IDispatch *pd = spInspector-GetCurrentItem();
if (pd)
{
Outlook::_MailItem *pMailItem = NULL;
const GUID local_IID_IMailItem = {0x00063034,0,0,
{0xC0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0x46}};
pd-QueryInterface (local_IID_IMailItem, (LPVOID *)&pMailItem);

if (pMailItem)
{
IUnknown *iu = pMailItem-GetMAPIOBJECT(); //Crashes in
Outlook 2007 Beta

Where is your code running? Is it in the outook.exe process space (your code
is a COM add-in) or in a separate exe?

It's an add-in.

Hmmm... What kind of exception is it? A COM error or something like an
access violation?

Good question. I tried 3 catch'es:

catch(_com_error &)
catch (CException *)
catch (...)

The third one caught the exception. So it's probably an access
violation.

Can the pointer be wrong?
Am I doing a bad cast somehow??

What happens when you run your code under the debugger? Did you set "break
on exception" for all exceptions in Debug | Exceptions dialog?
