Hello guys!

I have an important software development problem:

In my application i have to check, whenever the selected message in OE is
changed.

This is no problem....i just hook OE and subclass the ListCtrl-Window.
Then i always get a message when the user changes the actual selection.

But i have no idea to find out, which message is selected. Means, who is the
recipient, the sender and whats the body of the mail.

Outlook Express has to save anywhere in the listctrlitems the information
which item it is.

Because.....how does OE know which messagebody etc. to show, when the
selection is changed?

I tried GetItemData(nIndex) to get something like a unique message id...
with what i could get the body/sender/recp by the outlook api.....but
no item has Data set by SetItemData....

Please...does ANYBODY know how to get the emailsender when i have the
selected item in Outlooks ListCtrl?
(Outlook Express MUST save any information in the items...cause how else
does it know which message to show when the selection changes?)

Or if not...does anybody know a newsgroup where people can help me?

Its really important for me!
Thanks,
Greetings,
Kevin

I think you are pretty much on your own if you are trying to hook OE
windows.

About the only information that is available on OE programming is he
