Hi,

No, it's not a 1 way road.

You are correct, most RDO objects cannot be casted to Outlook objects,
however, most objects such as Folders, messages... etc have EntryIDs which
you can use to get the Outlook Object

For example

Private gFolder_CurrentOutlookFolder As Outlook.Folder = Nothing
Private gFolder_CurrentOutlookRDOFolder As Redemption.RDOFolder = Nothing

gFolder_CurrentOutlookFolder = explorer_ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
gFolder_CurrentOutlookRDOFolder =
myRDOsession.GetFolderFromID(gFolder_CurrentOutloo kFolder.EntryID)

As you can see above, I'm using the EntryID of an Outlook Folder to get an
RDO folder.

NOTE: Outlook events are so unreliable it is unbelievable

Good luck

Yes, I realized the way over the ItemID, but that's a bit arkward.
So you say Remdemtion Events are more reliable?

You can recommend the use of redemption?

How do I get an Redemption Item from the item that I get from a FormRegion Object?

Best
Tom

I think it's just as awkward as casting to be honest

A lot more reliable, not 100% reliable still

You can recommend the use of redemption?

If your addin is event driven then yet, definately.

How do I get an Redemption Item from the item that I get from a FormRegion Object?

Sorry, I have very little experience with outlook FormRegions.

Thanks a lot.

The FormRegion is not important. I can get an Item Object from the region or from the inspector object. Normally I would cast this
Object to e.g. Outlook.TaskItem. How can I cast this to the appropriate RDO Object?

Also the difference between a cast and the ItemID is, A cast does not call a function that has to lookup an item. So performance is
also a point

Having had a quick look, I don't know how you'd cast a TaskItem. I know
that for mail items you do this

Dim myRDOMail As Redemption.RDOMail
Dim myMailItem As Outlook.MailItem

myRDOMail = myRDOsession.GetMessageFromID(myMailItem.EntryID)

Have a look at the following link which may help you and also have a alook
throught the FAQ section on the redemption website

You wouldn't cast it, you'd get the Outlook.TaskItem and get its EntryID and
get an RDO item from that.
