The example makes use of the \l dumpcpp tool to generate + a C++ namespace for the type library describing the Outlook + Object Model. + + The project file for the example looks like this: + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/qutlook.pro 1 + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/qutlook.pro 2 + + The project file uses the \c dumpcpp 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 \e dumpcpp tool on the type library, and + generate a header and a cpp file (in this case, \c msoutl.h and \c msoutl.cpp) that + declares and implement an easy to use API to the Outlook objects. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.h 0 + + The AddressView class is a QWidget subclass for the user interface. The QTreeView widget + will display the contents of Outlook's Contact folder as provided by the \c{model}. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 0 + The AddressBookModel class is a QAbstractListModel subclass that communicates directly with + Outlook, using a QHash for caching. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 1 + The constructor initializes Outlook. The various signals Outlook provides to notify about + contents changes are connected to the \c updateOutlook() slot. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 2 + The destructor logs off from the session. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 3 + The \c rowCount() implementation returns the number of entries as reported by Outlook. \c columnCount + and \c headerData are implemented to show four columns in the tree view. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 4 + The \c headerData() implementation returns hardcoded strings. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 5 + The \c data() implementation is the core of the model. If the requested data is in the cache the + cached value is used, otherwise the data is acquired from Outlook. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 6 + The \c changeItem() 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 its own. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 7 + The \c addItem() 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. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 8 + The \c update() slot clears the cache, and emits the reset() signal to notify the view about the + data change requiring a redraw of the contents. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 9 + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 10 + The rest of the file implements the user interface using only Qt APIs, i.e. without communicating + with Outlook directly. + + \snippet examples/activeqt/qutlook/main.cpp 0 + + The \c main() entry point function finally instantiates the user interface and enters the + event loop. + + To build the example you must first build the QAxContainer + library. Then run your make tool in \c examples/activeqt/qutlook + and run the resulting \c qutlook.exe. +*/ |
