December 2013 Release of MFCMAPI and MrMAPI

  • Article

The December 2013 Release (build 15.0.0.1040) is live: https://mfcmapi.codeplex.com.

It’s been a while. I’ve been busy while I was gone. All dialogs got a visual refresh with collapsible panes. New windows cascade now. I finally implemented a viewer for messages. And most important of all, I went out and got myself a snazzy new icon for Christmas:

Here's a change list - see the Issue Tracker on Codeplex for more details, or look at the code:

  • Automatic handling of Body Streams (no more Right Click/Open as Stream!)
  • New windows cascade
  • Profile export
  • Hex editor small file import/export
  • SetColumns experience overhauled – no more confusing initial dialog
  • Single item viewer: used for viewing properties on MSG files, recipients, embedded messages, etc.
  • Suppressed expected MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND errors from the table view (while expected, these errors confused too many people)
  • View Panes: part of the dialog refresh – these collapsible panes make the Hex Editor and many other dialogs much more useful
  • Paste from OneNote now works (this is a problem in how OneNote handles the clipboard, but I can handle it now)
  • Icons group on the taskbar properly now – Windows 7/8 broke this
  • New app icon
  • All internal icons refreshed
  • Several painting glitches fixed
  • Upgraded projects to Visual Studio 2013

Enjoy.
