Sorry, I don't write C# code, so I can't tell you why it's not working. From my limited ability to read C#, no problem jumps out at me.


Just to test that my eventhandlers worked at all I tried to attatch to
one of the default folders of Outlook like you do.

------------------------
Outlook.Items olItems;

olItems =
(Items)this.olNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefault Folders.olFolderContacts).Items;

olItems.ItemAdd += new ItemsEvents_ItemAddEventHandler(olItems_ItemAdd);
------------------------
And this works just fine.

Unfortunately the BCM folders aren't default folders of Outlook, so I
cannot do what I want with GetDefaultFolder().

I've tried loads of other appreaches to attatching eventhandlers to the
BCM folders but with no luck so far.

If anyone has a working example, it would be much appreciated.

How you get the folder shouldn't affect how the event handler works, as long as the event-firing object (olItems) is declared at the class level.

Maybe it's a limitation of the BCM data store that it doesn't fire normal Items events. You could ask about that on the microsoft.public.outlook.bcm group.

Just a thought brought to me by somone else...

Could CDO be used for somthing usefull on this matter?

I have not done anything with CDO yet, but if it could solve my problem
I'm willing to give it a shot.

Does anyone know?

/Aidal

CDO has no event handling, so it's not relevant.

Ok, thanks for all your replies Sue, I appreciate it

I'm gonna wait and see what happens for a bit I think. I still very much
need to know how to listen to BCM events though, but it doesn't seem
like anyone have really cracked that one yet.
