Adding a PIM item to the Outlook Mobile database involves calling the item's Savemethod.

The Outlook Mobile database consists of three separate PIM item lists contained in the three Default Folders: the Appointments folder, the Tasks folder, and the Contacts folder.

To add a Contact to the Contacts folder

  1. Create an instance of the Outlook Mobile application object and then use it to establish a POOM session. For more information, see Establishing a POOM Session.

  2. Create a PIM item. For more information, see Creating a PIM Item.

  3. Declare a reference to a generic PIM item collection, as follows:

    Copy Code 
    IPOutlookItemCollection *pItems;

  4. Declare a reference to a generic PIM item folder:

    Copy Code 
    IFolder *pFolder;

  5. Use the generic PIM item folder to get the Contacts folder:

    Copy Code 
    polApp->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts, &pFolder);

  6. Use the Contacts folder to get the collection of Contact items:

    Copy Code 
    pFolder->get_Items(&pItems)

  7. Create a new Contact item:

    Copy Code 
    pItems->Add(&pContact)

  8. Initialize the new Contact item's data members:

    Copy Code 
    pContact->put_FirstName(TEXT("Michael"));
pContact->put_LastName(TEXT("Angelo"));
pContact->put_Company(TEXT("Microsoft"));
pContact->put_FileAs(TEXT("Angelo"));

  9. Save the new Contact item to the database:

    Copy Code 
    pContact->Save();

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to add a new Contactobject to the Contacts folder.

void AddNewContact(IPOutlookApp *polApp)
{
	IPOutlookItemCollection * pItems;
	IFolder				 * pFolder;
	IContact				* pContact;

	hr = polApp->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts,
&pFolder);
	hr = pFolder->get_Items(&pItems)
	hr = pItems->Add(&pContact)

	hr = pContact->put_FirstName(TEXT("Michael"));
	hr = pContact->put_LastName(TEXT("Angelo"));
	hr = pContact->put_Company(TEXT("Microsoft"));
	hr = pContact->put_FileAs(TEXT("Angelo"));

	hr = pContact->Save();
}
