How to: Verify an Attachment is Blocked
Applies to: Office 2010 | Outlook 2010 | Visual Studio
This code sample in C++ shows how to use the IAttachmentSecurity : IUnknown interface to find out whether an attachment is blocked by Microsoft Outlook 2010 for viewing and indexing.
IAttachmentSecurity : IUnknown is derived from the IUnknown interface. You can obtain the IAttachmentSecurity : IUnknown interface by calling IUnknown::QueryInterface on the MAPI session object, requesting IID_IAttachmentSecurity. IAttachmentSecurity::IsAttachmentBlocked returns true in pfBlocked if the attachment is considered unsafe by Outlook 2010 and is blocked for viewing and indexing in Outlook 2010.
HRESULT IsAttachmentBlocked(LPMAPISESSION lpMAPISession, LPCWSTR pwszFileName, BOOL* pfBlocked)
{
if (!lpMAPISession || !pwszFileName || !pfBlocked) return MAPI_E_INVALID_PARAMETER;
HRESULT hRes = S_OK;
IAttachmentSecurity* lpAttachSec = NULL;
BOOL bBlocked = false;
hRes = lpMAPISession->QueryInterface(IID_IAttachmentSecurity,(void**)&lpAttachSec);
if (SUCCEEDED(hRes) && lpAttachSec)
{
hRes = lpAttachSec->IsAttachmentBlocked(pwszFileName,&bBlocked);
}
if (lpAttachSec) lpAttachSec->Release();
*pfBlocked = bBlocked;
return hRes;
}
