  • the add-in utility comprises a plurality of default events 33, 35, 37 and 39.
  • the default event 'on connection' 33 is triggered each time Microsoft ® Outlook ® is started. It returns either a true value or a false value. If the 'on connection' default event returns a true value this indicates that the add-in is properly connected to the base application, but if the add- in is not properly connected to the base application, the 'on connection' default event returns a false value, which indicates that the add- in has not been properly connected.
  • the false value will not allow the add-in to be loaded in Microsoft ® Outlook ® and Outlook ® will release any reference it has to the add-in. Furthermore, any object relating to the add-in is released from Outlook ®, which allows Outlook ® to work without the add-in in a seamless manner.
  • the 'on connection' event is triggered automatically at the time of opening Microsoft Outlook. The connection with the add-in is solely dependent on this 'on connection' event. [43]
  • the default event 'on start-up complete' 35 ensures that once the connection has been established between the add-in and the base application, the 'on start-up complete' event is triggered which ensures the add-in reference and objects are properly loaded into Microsoft ® Outlook ®.
  • the 'on connection' event is triggered and this event checks whether connections have started or not.
  • the next event 'on start-up complete' is triggered once connection is started.
  • This 'On start-up complete' event adds buttons, menus and dropdowns in Microsoft ® Outlook ® through .net coding. If there is no error encountered all the buttons, menus and dropdowns will get added to Microsoft ® Outlook ®. This also ensures that the add-in reference and object are properly loaded.
  • the default event 'on disconnection' 37 is triggered when the electronic calendar base application is closed.
  • the add-in uses this 'On Disconnection' event to clean resources and remove changes made to Microsoft Outlook ® such as the buttons, menus and drop downs that were added through .net coding.
  • the default event 'on begin shutdown' 39 is triggered when the application is closed and ensures that the add-in references and objects are released from the base application, in this case Microsoft ® Outlook ®.

  • the add-in utility allows for one or more calendars to be imported from an external file (not shown) and viewed using the base application 43.
  • the add- in utility 31 is an executable file installed on a client device (not shown) on which the electronic calendar base application 43 is stored.
  • the add- in utility 31 is developed preferably using the .Net environment with the default events described above. The default events work in coalition with the base application 43, in this case Microsoft ® Outlook ®.
  • the add-in utility 31 allows for the importation of a .prx file that has been created using a calendar generator, otherwise referred to as an Outlook ® updater, into the base application 43.
  • Outlook ® updater is an application developed to create calendars which may constitute single or multiple calendar events.
  • the calendars created using outlook updater are stored in .prx format and this .prx can be imported to Microsoft Outlook to View/Modify calendars.
  • the add- in utility 31 allows for the deletion of calendars or selected calendars related to a particular .prx file. If any .prx file is re-imported into the base application, the add-in utility allows all calendar events related to that external file to be updated in the base application. Finally, the add-in utility ensures that calendar events in any time zone using the calendar generator are updated to the system time zone.
  • Interop.Outlook.dll Interop.Office.dll and Redemption.dll to view .prx calendars.
  • the add-in does not alter the basic functionality of Microsoft Outlook. It only helps in adding buttons, menus and drop downs. These buttons, menu and drop down are used to import, view and delete any calendar. These dlls only add new features (Buttons, Menu and Drop Downs) but do not disable any existing feature of Microsoft Outlook ®.
  • Redemption.dll is a com component that provides access to the properties, functions and objects blocked by the Outlook ® security patch. In addition to providing an exact replica of the Outlook ® objects, the com component has extra properties and methods such as RTFBody which works on all safe item objects such as string, array and attachments.
  • Redemption is a regular COM library and once registered on the system, it is accessible to any programming language (VB, VBA, VC++, Delphi, etc). Redemption uses Extended MAPI (which is not affected by the Security Patch since it is not accessible to the scripting languages) to duplicate the functionality blocked by the Security Patch. All Safe*Item Redemption objects have an Item property which must be set to an Outlook item. Once set, it is possible to access any properties and methods, both blocked and not blocked. For the blocked properties and functions, Redemption objects completely bypass the Outlook object model and behave exactly as Outlook objects with no Security Patch applied. For the properties and methods not blocked by the Security Patch, all calls are transparently forwarded to the Outlook object that has been assigned to the Item property. With this approach changes to the code are minimal: it is only necessary to change the way you declare the objects, but not the rest of the code that actually accesses both blocked and not blocked properties and methods.
  • Interop.office.dll is used for creating menu buttons and combo boxes in Microsoft ® Outlook ®.
  • Interop.Outlook.dll is used for creating an object of calendar events created through the .prx file. The object created for those events is used while importing the calendar events into the base application.
  • Interop.Outlook.dll uses a similar mechanism for deleting calendar events. In other words, it creates an object of the calendar events which are then deleted.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé informatique de remplissage d'un calendrier électronique avec une image. Ledit procédé comprend, dans un mode de réalisation à titre d'exemple : le démarrage d'une application de base de calendrier électronique, le chargement d'un utilitaire complémentaire dans l'application de base de calendrier électronique, la récupération, dans un dossier externe, d'un calendrier ayant un événement de calendrier comprenant une image et l'importation du calendrier dans l'application de base de calendrier électronique. L'application de base peut être une application bureautique ou une application Web. Le calendrier peut être généré par la création d'un événement de calendrier avec l'image. Le calendrier peut être enregistré dans le dossier externe. L'utilitaire complémentaire peut vérifier la connexion à l'application de base, s'assurer du chargement des références complémentaires et des objets complémentaires dans l'application de base et s'assurer de la libération des objets depuis l'application de base. Lors de la fermeture de l'application de base, l'utilitaire complémentaire peut être déchargé d'une mémoire système et toutes les modifications apportées à l'application de base sont supprimées.
