SUMMARY

This article discusses how to use VC++ with the CDO (1.x) to return an IMAPITable from the Recipients Collection RawTable property. Although this article demonstrates only the RawTable of the Recipients Collection, it can be used as a model for usage of the RawTable property of other CDO (1.x) objects that support RawTable as well. The contents of this article can also be used to resolve the problem noted in the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:

173850 PRB: #Import Does not Include Index Parameter Error from VC5


MORE INFORMATION

The code sample below instantiates a CDO (1.x) Session, logs on to that Session, grabs the first Message it finds in your Inbox, and then uses the RawTable Method off of the Recipients Collection to get a pointer to the underlying Extended MAPI IMAPITable, which contains information about the Recipients of this Message.

To demonstrate that we have this information, it also collects the names of the Recipients into a string and subsequently displays the string in a MessageBox.

Code Sample Follows:

   // To the Developer:
   // There are a couple of sections of this code with action items marked
   // "TO DO:" for you to resolve before it will successfully run. 

   // TO DO:
   // If you are using CDO (1.0, 1.0a) unremark the next line:
   // #import <mdisp32.tlb> no_namespace
   // If you are using CDO (1.1) unremark the next line:
   // #import <olemsg32.dll> no_namespace
   // If you are using CDO (1.2, 1.21) unremark the next line:
   // #import <cdo.dll> no_namespace

    #import "olemsg32.dll" no_namespace

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <assert.h>
    #include <tchar.h>

    #define USES_IID_IMAPITable
    #define USES_IID_IMAPITableData

    #include "mapidefs.h"
    #include "MAPIGUID.H"

    // Arbitrary Maximum # of recipients we will process
    #define MAX_RECIPS 500

    void dump_com_error(_com_error &e)
    {
      _tprintf(_T("Oops - hit an error!\n"));
      _tprintf(_T("\a\tCode = %08lx\n"), e.Error());
      _tprintf(_T("\a\tCode meaning = %s\n"), e.ErrorMessage());
      _bstr_t bstrSource(e.Source());
      _bstr_t bstrDescription(e.Description());
      _tprintf(_T("\a\tSource = %s\n"), (LPCTSTR) bstrSource);
      _tprintf(_T("\a\tDescription = %s\n"), (LPCTSTR) bstrDescription);
    }

    // If this is placed in the scope of the smart pointers, they must be
    // explicitly Release(d) before CoUninitialize() is called.  If any
    // reference count is non-zero, a protection fault will occur.

        StartOle() { CoInitialize(NULL); }
