Need help with Qt QActive and Outlook

[MrUNOwen]

Context: I generally program under Linux so most of this is new territory for me.

So I have a destination email, a template in html (w/ jpg images) for the body of the email and using Qt I want to open Outlook with a draft containing template in the body and the ' to: ' field set to the destination email.

I see documentation about QActive and some sort of dump process to get the outlook object, but I don't see any documentation about the methods of the Outlook object. Being that I don't see any QOutlook object, I'm guessing I have to rely on some sort of MS documentation, but don't know what to look for or what programming language it's in for that matter. Any pointers?

Hi, I'm sure you can do it in ActiveQt but have you looked at QDesktopServices ? I've used it to send simple text-only emails from Outlook. To test it, create a vanilla Widgets app, then in mainwindow.cpp add:

#include "QUrl"
#include "QDesktopServices"

Then add this line after ui->setupUi(this):

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("mailto:test@test.com?subject=Testing from Qt&body=Hello\nThis is line 2", QUrl::TolerantMode));
