VB Forum / COM / November 2004E Mail
Hi, Does anyone know what ActiveX control can be used for creating an Outlook Express window for creating a new e-mail, with the recipient's name filled in, rather like mailto in the browser. I looked for a Microsoft Outlook Express control in the list of components but found nothing obvious. Dave Hi Dave, ActiveX library for Outlook Express is MSOE.DLL.If it's not in the list then hit the browse button and select .dll type library. Locate this dll (it should be in the same folder of Outlook Express) and select it.This gives access to an ActiveX control of messagelist for creating new mails. HTH Mona > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Dave Thanks Mona. Problem is I found MSOE.dll as you said but trying to add it to the list of references gives me "Can't add a reference to the specified file". Is it protected from third party use or something do you think? Any other ideas? Or is it a straight dll, not a COM component?

To register COM dll or ocx... in the run dialog. regsvr32.exe myCOM.dll regsvr32.exe myCOM.ocx to unregister regsvr32.exe /u myCOM.dll regsvr32.exe /u myCOM.ocx HTH Mona > Thanks Mona. > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > > > > > Dave Thanks Mona, But I think I found a different, simpler way to do what I want: ShellExecute Me.hWnd, "Open", _ "mailto:" & sRecipient & "?" & _ "subject=" & sSubject & "&body=" & sBody, vbNullString, _ vbNullString, vbNormalFocus This starts Outlook Express and fills in a new e-mail with the recipient, subject and body filled in. Really neat! Dave > Hi Dave, > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > > > > > > > > Dave |
