- <p>The Qutlook example demonstrates the use of <a href="activeqt.html#activeqt">ActiveQt</a> to automate Outlook. The example makes use of the <a href="activeqt-dumpcpp.html#dumpcpp">dumpcpp</a> tool to generate a C++ namespace for the type library describing the Outlook Object Model.</p>
- <p>The project file for the example looks like this:</p>
- <pre> TEMPLATE = app
- TARGET = qutlook
- CONFIG += qaxcontainer
- TYPELIBS = $$system(dumpcpp -getfile {00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046})
- isEmpty(TYPELIBS) {
- message("Microsoft Outlook type library not found!")
- REQUIRES += Outlook
- } else {
- HEADERS = addressview.h
- SOURCES = addressview.cpp main.cpp
- }</pre>
- <p>The project file uses the <tt>dumpcpp</tt> tool to add an MS Outlook type library to the project. If this fails, then the generated makefile will just print an error message, otherwise the build step will now run the <i>dumpcpp</i> tool on the type library, and generate a header and a cpp file (in this case, <tt>msoutl.h</tt> and <tt>msoutl.cpp</tt>) that declares and implement an easy to use API to the Outlook objects.</p>

- <p>The <tt>changeItem()</tt> slot is called when the user changes the current entry using the user interface. The Outlook item is accessed using the Outlook API, and is modified using the property setters. Finally, the item is saved to Outlook, and removed from the cache. Note that the model does not signal the view of the data change, as Outlook will emit a signal on it's own.</p>

- <p>The <tt>addItem()</tt> slot calls the CreateItem method of Outlook to create a new contact item, sets the properties of the new item to the values entered by the user and saves the item.</p>
- <pre> void AddressBookModel::update()
- {
- cache.clear();
- emit reset();

- <p>The <tt>update()</tt> slot clears the cache, and emits the <a href="qtextstream.html#reset">reset</a>() signal to notify the view about the data change requiring a redraw of the contents.</p>
