How to Create an Outlook Plugin using Delphi?

Question

I\'m working on a database project and I need to create Outlook 2007 plugin that saves the current previewed message into my database.

Can someone give me a step-by-step

Answer 1

I created a Plugin once for use in Excel (Creating my own User Defined Functions) with Delphi. What you need is an Addin that implements the _IDTExtensibility2 interface.

Now I don't know the exact steps, but searching for _IDTExtensibility2 will help you a lot.

Check this article for a nice how to. The OnConnection procedure of the _IDTExtensibility2 interface gives you the entry to the Outlook application.
