Hi,

I use ITH 3.3

I need in our application the task dialog. And that was the only reason we bought ITH.

This is the code how I use it:

 OutlookSession = new OutlookSession();

TaskCollection taskCollection = session.Tasks.Items;

Task task = taskCollection.AddNew();

task.Subject = "xxx";

taskCollection.Add(task);

task.ShowDialog();

session.Dispose();

At the first view it works. But now the problem:

The task dialog is closed. Then our application is turned in background and

if we try to bring it in front our application does not appears. Only 'Tasks' appears at the top of the window (instead of start)

The only was to start now the application is to stop it and start it again.

Do I use it in a wrong way?

Firstly rather than creating and disposing an OutlookSession every time you create a task keep a single OutlookSession active for the life of your application. This issue seems to be specific to Smartphone where the dialog is closed by pressing the back button. If you add the line this.Show() after the task is dismissed your form will be shown again.

Ok, thanks for you answer.

But it does not resolve the problem.

I tested more.

The task dialog was shown and than closed by the ok button.

Now the application is turned in background (the x - button of the form is clicked) and I try to bring it to the front by click the .exe. It does not work.

It looks like that the task dialog will be shown instead of the application. But only 'Tasks" and the ok button of the dialog appears.

I'm still investigating this and will respond again shortly once I have done some more tests.

 Hi Peter,

did you find any solution?

Andreas

I've been given another avenue to investigate which is around how the notification system currently hooks into the OutlookSession. I'll let you know if I find anything.

The problem is related to the ShowDialog() method on the PIM items. Internally this works differently on WM5 from previous versions and should be given a window handle for the parent window, this is not working correctly in the current release and the dialog has no parent. There is currently no workaround possible. I will provide more details when I have a fix available.
