How do I programmatically send email w/attachment to a known recipient using MAPI in C++? MAPISendM
- by Tim
This question is similar, but does not show how to add a recipient.
How do I do both?
We'd like the widest support possible for as many Windows platforms as possible (from XP and greater)
We're using visual studio 2008
Essentially we want to send an email with:
pre-filled destination address
file attachment
subject line
from our program and give the user the ability to add any information or cancel it.
EDIT
I am trying to use MAPISendMail()
I copied much of the code from the questions linked near the top, but I get no email dlg box and the error return I get from the call is: 0x000f - "The system cannot find the drive specified"
If I comment out the lines to set the recipient, it works fine (of course then I have no recipient pre-filled in)
Here is the code:
#include <tchar.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <mapi.h>
#include <mapix.h>
int _tmain( int argc, wchar_t *argv[] )
{
HMODULE hMapiModule = LoadLibrary( _T( "mapi32.dll" ) );
if ( hMapiModule != NULL )
{
LPMAPIINITIALIZE lpfnMAPIInitialize = NULL;
LPMAPIUNINITIALIZE lpfnMAPIUninitialize = NULL;
LPMAPILOGONEX lpfnMAPILogonEx = NULL;
LPMAPISENDDOCUMENTS lpfnMAPISendDocuments = NULL;
LPMAPISESSION lplhSession = NULL;
LPMAPISENDMAIL lpfnMAPISendMail = NULL;
lpfnMAPIInitialize = (LPMAPIINITIALIZE)GetProcAddress( hMapiModule, "MAPIInitialize" );
lpfnMAPIUninitialize = (LPMAPIUNINITIALIZE)GetProcAddress( hMapiModule, "MAPIUninitialize" );
lpfnMAPILogonEx = (LPMAPILOGONEX)GetProcAddress( hMapiModule, "MAPILogonEx" );
lpfnMAPISendDocuments = (LPMAPISENDDOCUMENTS)GetProcAddress( hMapiModule, "MAPISendDocuments" );
lpfnMAPISendMail = (LPMAPISENDMAIL)GetProcAddress( hMapiModule, "MAPISendMail" );
if ( lpfnMAPIInitialize && lpfnMAPIUninitialize && lpfnMAPILogonEx && lpfnMAPISendDocuments )
{
HRESULT hr = (*lpfnMAPIInitialize)( NULL );
if ( SUCCEEDED( hr ) )
{
hr = (*lpfnMAPILogonEx)( 0, NULL, NULL, MAPI_EXTENDED | MAPI_USE_DEFAULT, &lplhSession );
if ( SUCCEEDED( hr ) )
{
// this opens the email client
// create the msg. We need to add recipients AND subject AND the dmp file
// file attachment
MapiFileDesc filedesc;
::ZeroMemory(&filedesc, sizeof(filedesc));
filedesc.nPosition = (ULONG)-1;
filedesc.lpszPathName = "E:\\Development\\Open\\testmail\\testmail.cpp";
// recipient(s)
MapiRecipDesc recip;
::ZeroMemory(&recip, sizeof(recip));
recip.lpszName = "QA email";
recip.lpszAddress = "[email protected]";
// the message
MapiMessage msg;
::ZeroMemory(&msg, sizeof(msg));
msg.lpszSubject = "Test";
msg.nRecipCount = 1; // if I comment out this line it works fine...
msg.lpRecips = &recip;
msg.nFileCount = 1;
msg.lpFiles = &filedesc;
hr = (*lpfnMAPISendMail)(0, NULL, &msg, MAPI_LOGON_UI|MAPI_DIALOG, 0);
if ( SUCCEEDED( hr ) )
{
hr = lplhSession->Logoff( 0, 0, 0 );
hr = lplhSession->Release();
lplhSession = NULL;
}
}
}
(*lpfnMAPIUninitialize)();
}
FreeLibrary( hMapiModule );
}
return 0;
}
