【中文标题】Outlook VSTO 加载项与外部 C++ 应用程序之间的交互【英文标题】:Interaction between an Outlook VSTO add-in and an external C++ application 【发布时间】:2018-09-19 05:05:11 【问题描述】:我有一个 C++ 应用程序,我正在编写一个新的 Outlook 加载项,我认为它将与 VSTO 一起使用。我想在那之间进行交流,我正在努力找出最好的方法。在MS docs 中,他们提到了如何使用RequestComAddInAutomationService
将您的COM 类公开给外部解决方案。我对 COM 很陌生,但我在网上阅读了一些内容并得到了以下解决方案。我读到您应该构建加载项(对于 x86 作为我的 Outlook 版本而不是 AnyCPU),获取创建的 .tlb
文件并使用 #import
指令将其转换为 .tlh
,然后使用 @987654330 @.tlh
文件以具有适当的类型。
ThisAddin.cs
namespace FirstOutlookAddIn
public partial class ThisAddIn
Outlook.Inspectors inspectors;
private AddInUtilities gUtilities;
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
inspectors = this.Application.Inspectors;
inspectors.NewInspector +=
new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.InspectorsEvents_NewInspectorEventHandler(Inspectors_NewInspector);
void Inspectors_NewInspector(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Inspector Inspector)
Outlook.MailItem mailItem = Inspector.CurrentItem as Outlook.MailItem;
if (mailItem != null)
if (mailItem.EntryID == null)
gUtilities.SetMailItem(mailItem);
mailItem.Subject = "This text was added by using code";
mailItem.Body = "This text was added by using code";
protected override object RequestComAddInAutomationService()
if (gUtilities == null)
gUtilities = new AddInUtilities();
return gUtilities;
private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
// Note: Outlook no longer raises this event. If you have code that
// must run when Outlook shuts down, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=506785
#region VSTO generated code
/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InternalStartup()
this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);
this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Shutdown);
#endregion
IAddInUtilities.cs
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace FirstOutlookAddIn
[ComVisible(true)]
public interface IAddInUtilities
void MyExportedFunction();
AddInUtilities.cs
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace FirstOutlookAddIn
[ComVisible(true)]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public class AddInUtilities : StandardOleMarshalObject, IAddInUtilities
Outlook.MailItem globalMailItem;
public void SetMailItem(Outlook.MailItem item) => globalMailItem = item;
public void MyExportedFunction()
globalMailItem.Body = "I was called from outside!";
main.cpp
//#import "FirstOutlookAddIn.tlb" named_guids raw_interfaces_only
#include <iostream>
struct IUnknown; // Workaround for "combaseapi.h(229): error C2187: syntax error: 'identifier' was unexpected here" when using /permissive-
#include <Objbase.h>
#include "Debug\FirstOutlookAddIn.tlh"
int main()
CoInitializeEx(nullptr, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
FirstOutlookAddIn::IAddInUtilities* pIFace;
// create the object and obtain a pointer to the sought interface
auto res = CoCreateInstance(
FirstOutlookAddIn::CLSID_AddInUtilities,
nullptr,
CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER,
FirstOutlookAddIn::IID_IAddInUtilities,
(LPVOID*)&pIFace);
if (res != S_OK)
std::cout << "Failed with: " << res;
auto res1 = pIFace->MyExportedFunction(); // use the object
std::cout << "Res: " << res1;
pIFace->Release(); // free the object
CoUninitialize();
问题是CoCreateInstance
返回REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG Class not registered
。相关的注册表树如下所示:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Classes\CLSID5008A102-08E5-3F59-AADD-03875524CAD0 = FirstOutlookAddIn.AddInUtilities 计算机\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Classes\CLSID5008A102-08E5-3F59-AADD-03875524CAD0\InprocServer32: 计算机\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Classes\CLSID5008A102-08E5-3F59-AADD-03875524CAD0\InprocServer32\1.0.0.0: 计算机\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Classes\CLSID5008A102-08E5-3F59-AADD-03875524CAD0\ProgId = FirstOutlookAddIn.AddInUtilities
我做错了什么?我是否正确理解这里的可能性,将我的 DLL 加载到 Outlook.exe 中并能够从外部应用程序调用其中的函数? 提前谢谢!!!

【参考方案1】:您不应该从您的 C++ 应用程序创建该 COM 类的实例 - 创建一个 Outlook.Application
对象的实例,使用 Application.COMAddins
集合访问您的插件,然后使用 COMAddin.Object
属性检索由您的插件实现的接口。
例如,请参阅https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/andreww/2007/01/15/vsto-add-ins-comaddins-and-requestcomaddinautomationservice/

您的评论帮助我找到了解决方案,但您在我询问 C++ API 时回答了 C# @Hila's Master API 还是一样的——Outlook 不知道也不关心它是从 C++ 还是 C# 调用的。 也许逻辑是一样的,但我不会说API是相似的。看我加的回复,跟我感觉很不一样 API 是一样的。管道是C++。这就是为什么它看起来不同。看看我的回答:它描述了你的 C++ 代码。 好吧,很抱歉,但我想我的问题主要是关于要使用的正确 C++ 特定 API 是什么,以及确保我理解逻辑。 C++ API 缺乏文档,所以这是一个挑战。不用担心,感谢您的回复【参考方案2】:经过一番挖掘,我想通了。我正在使用微软的CppAutomateOutlook example
它有 2 个实现选项,一个是使用 COM 的智能指针(例如 spMail->Subject = _bstr_t(L"Feedback of All-In-One Code Framework");
),一个是使用原始的 IDispatch
接口。我使用了第二个选项并将CoCreateInstance
修改为GetActiveObject
,因此我可以与已经运行的Outlook 实例进行交互。这是我当前的代码:
DWORD WINAPI AutomateOutlookByCOMAPI(LPVOID lpParam)
// Initializes the COM library on the current thread and identifies
// the concurrency model as single-thread apartment (STA).
// [-or-] CoInitialize(NULL);
// [-or-] CoCreateInstance(NULL);
CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
// Define vtMissing for optional parameters in some calls.
VARIANT vtMissing;
vtMissing.vt = VT_EMPTY;
// Get CLSID of the server
CLSID clsid;
HRESULT hr;
// Option 1. Get CLSID from ProgID using CLSIDFromProgID.
LPCOLESTR progID = L"Outlook.Application";
hr = CLSIDFromProgID(progID, &clsid);
if (FAILED(hr))
wprintf(L"CLSIDFromProgID(\"%s\") failed w/err 0x%08lx\n", progID, hr);
return 1;
// Option 2. Build the CLSID directly.
/*const IID CLSID_Application =
0x0006F03A,0x0000,0x0000,0xC0,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x46;
clsid = CLSID_Application;*/
// Get the IDispatch interface of the running instance
IUnknown *pUnk = NULL;
IDispatch *pOutlookApp = NULL;
hr = GetActiveObject(
clsid, NULL, (IUnknown**)&pUnk
);
if (FAILED(hr))
wprintf(L"GetActiveObject failed with w/err 0x%08lx\n", hr);
return 1;
hr = pUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pOutlookApp);
if (FAILED(hr))
wprintf(L"QueryInterface failed with w/err 0x%08lx\n", hr);
return 1;
_putws(L"Outlook.Application is found");
IDispatch *comAddins = NULL;
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &result, pOutlookApp, L"COMAddins", 0);
comAddins = result.pdispVal;
IDispatch *myAddin = NULL;
VARIANT x;
x.vt = VT_BSTR;
x.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"FirstOutlookAddIn");
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_METHOD, &result, comAddins, L"Item", 1, x);
myAddin = result.pdispVal;
VariantClear(&x);
IDispatch *myAddinObj = NULL;
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &result, myAddin, L"Object", 0);
myAddinObj = result.pdispVal;
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_METHOD, &result, myAddinObj, L"MyExportedFunction", 0);
// ... Cleanup code
