IMAPISupport : IUnknown

This content is outdated and is no longer being maintained. It is provided as a courtesy for individuals who are still using these technologies. This page may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.

Provides implementations for tasks that are typically performed by service providers and message service entry point functions. Service providers receive a pointer to their support object when MAPI calls their provider object's logon method. Message services receive their support object pointer in the call to their entry point function.

Vtable Order

GetLastError

Returns a MAPIERROR structure that contains information about the previous support object error.

GetMemAllocRoutines

Retrieves the addresses of the MAPI memory allocation and deallocation functions (MAPIAllocateBuffer, MAPIAllocateMore, and MAPIFreeBuffer).

Subscribe

Registers an advise sink to receive notifications through MAPI.

Unsubscribe

Cancels the responsibility for sending notifications that was previously established with a call to the Subscribe method.

Notify

Sends a notification of a specified event to an advise source that originally registered for the notification through the Subscribe method.

ModifyStatusRow

Modifies the status table by adding a new row or modifying an existing row.

OpenProfileSection

Opens a section of the current profile and returns an IProfSect pointer for further access

RegisterPreprocessor

Registers a transport provider's preprocessor function (a function that conforms to the PreprocessMessage prototype).

NewUID

Creates a new MAPIUID structure to be used as a unique identifier.

MakeInvalid

Marks an object as unusable.

SpoolerYield

Gives control of the CPU to the MAPI spooler so that it can perform any tasks it considers necessary.

SpoolerNotify

Notifies the MAPI spooler of a change in status or a request for service.

CreateOneOff

Creates an entry identifier for a one-off address.

SetProviderUID

Registers a MAPIUID structure that uniquely represents the service provider.

CompareEntryIDs

Compares two entry identifiers to determine whether they refer to the same object.

OpenTemplateID

Opens a recipient entry in a foreign address book provider.

OpenEntry

Opens an object and returns an interface pointer for further access.

GetOneOffTable

Returns a pointer to the MAPI one-off table (a list of templates that all address book providers support for creating new recipients).

Address

Displays the common address dialog box.

Details

Displays a dialog box that shows details about a particular address book entry.

NewEntry

Adds a new recipient directly to an address book container or to the recipient list of an outgoing message.

DoConfigPropsheet

Displays a configuration property sheet.

CopyMessages

Copies or moves messages from one folder to another folder.

CopyFolder

Copies or moves a folder from its current parent folder to another parent folder.

DoCopyTo

Copies or moves all properties of one object, except for specifically excluded properties, to another object.

DoCopyProps

Copies or moves one or more properties of an object to another object.

DoProgressDialog

Retrieves a progress object that displays a progress indicator.

ReadReceipt

Generates a read or nonread report for a message.

PrepareSubmit

Prepares a message for submission to the MAPI spooler.

ExpandRecips

Completes a message's recipient list, expanding particular distribution lists.

DoSentMail

Processes a sent message.

OpenAddressBook

Provides access to the address book.

CompleteMsg

Performs postprocessing on a message.

StoreLogoffTransports

Requests the orderly release of a message store.

StatusRecips

Generates delivery and nondelivery reports.

WrapStoreEntryID

Converts a message store's internal entry identifier to an entry identifier in the MAPI standard format.

ModifyProfile

Makes changes to a message store profile section permanent.

IStorageFromStream

Implements a storage object to access a stream.

GetSvcConfigSupportObj

Creates a message service support object.

Remarks

Address books, message stores, transport providers, and message services each have their own support objects. Service providers and message services call the methods in their support objects as part of their implementations of other interface methods. Each different support object has complete implementations of the methods that apply to its caller; the methods that are not applicable return MAPI_E_NO_SUPPORT. Address book provider support objects have implementations for the following methods:
