Gday,

Just wondering whether it's possible to have a button on the form, when clicked it will open a dialog box which will contain all of the users outlook contacts? Probably not? any work arounds?

Regards

Hi,

You can maybe do it with C# behind your form.
You would need a Ref to the Microsoft Outlook Object Library

then:
Outlook._Application outlook = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
Outlook.NameSpace ns = outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI");
Outlook.MAPIFolder cf = ns.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts);
Outlook.Items ctcItems = cf.Items;
Outlook.ContactItem ctc;
for(int j = 1; j < (ctcItems.Count + 1); j++)
{
ctc = (Outlook.ContactItem) ctcItems.Item(j);
// do something with the contact.
}

Hope that it helps.


Regards,
