Hi there,

I have problem with Inspector::OnClose event.
Add-in is written using VC++.
I add custom toolbars and advise Inspector events in the
OnNewInspector event.

void __stdcall CConnect::OnNewInspector(IDispatch
* /*Outlook::_Inspector**/ Ctrl)
{
   
    USES_CONVERSION;

    Outlook::_InspectorPtr pInspector(Ctrl);

    CInspectorHandler * pInspectorHandler = new
CInspectorHandler( pInspector,m_lpSession, m_pAdrBook );

The problem is:
When user clicks SaveAndClose button Inspector::OnClose is
not fired. But if you press Ctrl-F4 or click on X in right
upper conner of the window this event fires.

To workaroud that problem I used Inspector::Deactivate
event. It fires always. In this event I check if current
ispector is in active inspectors collection via
Inspector.Application.Inspectors. I compare object
pointers. A peace of code:

BOOL FindInspectorInActiveInspectors( const
Outlook::_InspectorPtr & pInspector )
{
    BOOL bFound = FALSE;

    HRESULT hResult = S_OK;

    Outlook::_ApplicationPtr pApplication;
    Outlook::_InspectorsPtr pInspectors;
    Outlook::_InspectorPtr pInspectorTemp;

    hResult = pInspector->get_Application
(&pApplication);

    if ( SUCCEEDED(hResult) )
    {
        hResult = pApplication->get_Inspectors
(&pInspectors);

        if ( SUCCEEDED(hResult) )
        {
            LONG lCount = 0;
            pInspectors->get_Count(&lCount);

            for(LONG i = 1; i <= lCount; i++)
            {
                CComVariant varIndex(i);
                hResult = pInspectors->Item
(varIndex,&pInspectorTemp);

                if ( FAILED(hResult) )
                    break;

                if( pInspectorTemp ==
pInspector)
                {
                    bFound = TRUE;
                    break;
                } // if
            } // for

        }  // if

    }  // if

    return bFound;
}
Outlook Objects are imported like:
#import "msoutl9.olb" rename_namespace("Outlook")
raw_interfaces_only named_guids
 
That aproach works in Outlook 2000 and in Outlook XP.
In Outlook 2003 i have a problem. When i change current
window (not closing it) Inspector::Deactivate comes. But i
don't not find current inspector in the inspectors
collection.

Using only inspector i found out:
Inspectors.Count == 1 but
address of the object i get via Inspectors.Item[i] is
differ from my current inspector.

Some additional investigation says that
OOM for every Object return some sort of lightweight proxy
object
for example:

m_pApp is object passed in OnConnect event.
void __stdcall CConnect::OnNewInspector(IDispatch
* /*Outlook::_Inspector**/ Ctrl)
{
    Outlook::_InspectorsPtr pInspectors;
    Outlook::_InspectorPtr pInspector(Ctrl);
    m_pApp->getInspectors(&pInspectors);
   
    Outlook::_InspectorPtr pInspector1;
    Outlook::_InspectorPtr pInspector2;
    CComVariant varIndex(1);

    pInspectors->Item(varIndex, pInspector1);
    pInspectors->Item(varIndex, pInspector2);
    //there address of object in the pInspector1
    //differ from address of object in the pInspector2
}

As a result if i try to find current inspector in the
Inspectors collection I never find it.

I think that design change is because of improving
security model.

Any ideas how to workaround that problem.
I mean How to find current inspector in the inspectors
collection.
