hello,

Is there a documentation existing for common programs like calendar.exe,
poutlook.exe.... which arguments they can take?

I would need to open the calendar add new appointment directly if possible
with arguments. And other functions I will also need so a doc. would be
perfect.

thx
juvi

Adding appointments can be done using the
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook SDK for WM5 and onwards. With word
there's no API/SDK, you might try passing a path to a file as an argument to
open it not sure if this will work.

thank you for your reply.

this would add appointment by code....I would only need to open the form
used by calendar.exe for new appointment with arguments if possible.

I have now also the problem that I do not find the "contacts" exe and is it
possible to pass an filepath argument to file explorer?

thx

You can open a blank appointment using something like the following:
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.Appointment a = new Appointment();
a.ShowDialog();

This will show default parameters.

You can load the contracts screen with something like the following:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("poutlook.exe", "contacts");
