IManage Outlook integration

Hi All,

I'm new to IManage so excuse me if this is a bone question!

We have developed a .NET product that integrates successfully with the IManage document management system. We have also developed a ".NET" plug in for Outlook 2003. We would like our plugin to be able to integrate with the IManage plugin, but I've no idea how to achieve this.

I need to be able to determine the Worksite ID of the workspace that has been selected in the Outlook explorer, from this I should be able to use the standard IManage interface to query the data.

Question:
* - Is it possible to determine any worksite data from the selected node in Outlook explorer? How is it done!?

You may get the workspace object id through a wrapper command which is by implementing the ICommand Interface. Please see Creating Custom Commands in WorkSite.pdf in your SDK. Also, see code examples on how to Implement ICommand Interface which is stored in the iCommands directory under the installed path of your SDK.

You will not be able to hook into FileSite context to query for the object id or any other data via your Outlook plug-in as our integration is not developed through COM-Addin so there isn't a way for you to interface with it this way.

Thanks for the reply jny!

Are you saying that I can implement the ICommand interface within MailSite to add a custom command? The custom command could then be used to determine the Workspace ID and send it to my own Outlook add-in. I could then query FileSite using the ID to obtain the data I require.

Are you saying that it isn't possible to determine the workspace's ID from within Outlook?

Your iCommand can intercept and process any information for events that are happening within the FileSite interface within Outlook, including getting any object's ID.

We have several products that use this technology.
