This article describes the updates to Messaging Application Program
Interface (MAPI) for Microsoft Visual Basic versions 2.0 and 3.0 for
Windows that were made for version 1.0 of Microsoft Electronic Forms
Designer. For an explanation of the MAPI changes, please refer to the
Electronic Forms Designer "Developer's Guide," Chapter 11, "Simple
MAPI for Visual Basic."
NOTE: The MAPI information from Electronic Forms Designer supersedes
the MAPI information in the version 3.2 Microsoft Mail for PC Networks
"Technical Reference" manual.
- Incorporated the following information throughout Chapter 11 of the
"Developer's Guide":
The following two return values are documented in the "Technical
Reference" manual, but are not used and should be ignored:
MAPI_E_NO_RECIP
MAPI_E_BAD_RECIP
The following three return values are incorrectly documented in the
"Technical Reference" manual:
Technical Reference Uses Header Files Use
----------------------------------------------------------------
MAPI_E_USER_ABORT MAPI_USER_ABORT
MAPI_E_AMBIG_RECIP MAPI_E_AMBIGUOUS_RECIPIENT
MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILURE MAPI_E_LOGIN_FAILURE
Your applications should use the return value names listed in the
header files.
This information is in the "Technical Reference" README file and
should be added to the "Technical Reference" manual.
- Deleted the Originator field from the MapiMessage type (pages
198-199).
This field is documented in the "Technical Reference" manual but it
does not exist; if you use this field, your code will not compile.
- Added additional information about the Subject field of
MapiMessage (page 199).
Add the following information to the "Technical Reference" manual:
(Messages saved with MAPISaveMail are not limited to 256
characters.)
- Changed the description of the RecipClass field of MapiRecip (page
200).
Change the following description in the "Technical Reference" manual
(Messages can be sorted by recipient class.)
to:
(Recipients can be sorted by recipient class.)
- Changed the description of the EditFields parameter of MAPIAddress
(page 202).
Changed the Recips parameter to the Recipients() parameter
throughout the description. Correct the "Technical Reference"
manual to correctly reference this parameter.
- Added a "Flags" parameter to MAPISaveMail (pages 219-220).
Add this parameter to the MAPISaveMail function in the "Technical
Reference" manual.
