Can get UserProperty Names but not Values?
 

From C++ using UserProp-Name I can get the name of a UserProperty,
but UserProp-Value.bstrVal always returns nothing, anyone have any
ideas what I could be doing wrong and has anyone ever accessed
UserProperties from C++?


UserPropertiesPtr UserProps = Con-UserProperties;
if (UserProps-Count 0)
{
tot = UserProps-Count;
UserPropertyPtr UserProp;
for (i=1;i tot + 1;i++)
{
UserProp = UserProps-Item(i);
MessageBox(NULL,UserProp-Name,"Test - Name",MB_OK);
char* sText;
sText = (char*)UserProp-Value.bstrVal;
MessageBox(NULL,sText,"Test - Value",MB_OK);
}
}

You might have better luck in the programming groups.

Do you see the properties in MFCMAPI or OutlookSpy (click IMessage)?
Are you use you have a string property? What is the value of
UserProp-Value.vt?

I got it sorted in the end

_variant_t v;
v.Attach (UserProp-GetValue());
_bstr_t b = (_bstr_t)(v);

_bstr_t b = UserProp-getValue().bstrVal
