Using the Outlook type library in Qt

[astodolski]

I'm trying to build the example qutlook which is an ActiveX example using the Outlook control. The project loads with the output: Project MESSAGE: Microsoft Outlook type library not found! I have access to the file MSOUTL.OLB which I got from my office machine and copied to the development machine to the project folder. I guess this may need to be registered on the dev. machine to be available as an ActiveX control but don't see how to do that.

Hi
have you tried
REGSVR32.EXE c:\thepath\MSOUTL.OLB

and see what it thinks ?

Hi,

I did try that first.

"The module 'msoutl.olb' was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found"
"Make sure that 'msoutl.olb' is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again"

It may not work unless Outlook is a registered control on the machine. It doesn't appear on the list of registered types

Can it even work when outlook is not installed ?
Its outlook type lib.
With VBA - outlook must be installed (on my project)
but not sure what the Qt ActiveX sample really does.

tried with
dumpbin /exports "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSOUTL.OLB"

and it dont have DllRegisterServer so I thinks that what it says.
so not sure it can even be registered that way.

I don't if Outlook has to be installed or not. The control needs to be registered to be available

What what I can gather from VBA docs,
outlook must also be installed for MSOUTL.OLB to work.
