Re: Checking type of a MAPIFolder

Pablo,

Are you looking to create a contact on a different folder like "MY Contacts Folder"?

I believe this can be done by setting the current folder as you custom contacts folder and then adding an item to it directly or from a contact form template.

Answering to myself...

I've just added the item manually to the items collecion like this:
contact = (MSOutlook.ContactItem)defaultContactFolder.Items.Add(MSOutlook.OlItemType.olContactItem);

Anyway, I'm still interested in knowing if I can change the default contacts folder, for example, to a new folder or a folder in a different store.

Cheers!
Pablo

Thanks, in the end it ws a syntax problem.. I'm having some quite silly days lately :P thanks!

By the way.. I've created a new .pst with a contacts folder there, but when I create a new contact like this...

MSOutlook.ContactItem contact = null;
contact = (MSOutlook.ContactItem)Globals.GRAAddIn.Application.CreateItem(MSOutlook.OlItemType.olContactItem);

... I get the contact added to the contacts folder on the original .pst... is the a way to change this, or to change the default contacts folder?

Thanks a lot!

MAPIFolder.DefaultItemType. It returns a 32-bit int that's a member of the OlItemType enum, for contacts you're looking for olContactItem which has a value of 2.

Hi all,

I'm trying to iterate thru all the MAPIFolders in my personal store and get the contacts one. How could I get the 'type' of a folder (say if it is a contacts folder, or an inbox, etc...)? Thanks a lot!

Best Regards!
Pablo
