Re: Hooking into Outlook Express

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

yes, its possible but painful and from my point of view its not very nice
for Windows OS, since it requires some 'hacks'.
The idea is this:

first, you need an application (an exe) which will sit in tray.
it will install a global system-wide hook (CBT for example) which will catch
the creation of OE main window.
the DLL file which was specified when the hook was setup is alread mapped at
this time in the OE exe.
now, the DLL code can do its job.
if you want to put your button on the OE toolbar, you search the OE toolbar
HWND and add toolbar button.

now, there are alot of problems (depending what you want to do).
there are alot of 'GUI hacks' to do.

in my opinion, you can use Microsoft Outlook if you want to expand
capabilities of a Microsoft mail client.
It really supports plugins though its API.
