Controlling Outlook Express from LabVIEW

[Gorka Larrea]

I'd like to control MS Outlook Express using ActiveX, as I've done with Excel and Word, but it looks like i can't find ActiveX Libraries for that. Somebody knows about it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gorka,

on my pc I have an activeX library for Outlook Express.
If you don't, hit the browse button and select .dll type library; then locate the MSOE.DLL on your pc (it should be in the same folder of Outlook Express) and select it.
Now you have access to its activeX library.
Good luck,
Alberto

Alberto, doing what you say i have access to an activeX control of messagelist, but CAN't open Outlook Express, create a message, send it... Like i do with Excel, Word... any solutions?

Try to use some VB controls for MAPI, and probably you will avoid be dependent on Outlook. You can find some documentation in MSDN.

p.s.: I'm not sure if the control is Msmapi32.ocx.
