+/*!
+ \example activeqt/qutlook
+ \title Qutlook Example (ActiveQt)
+
+ \brief The Qutlook example demonstrates the use of ActiveQt to automate
+ Outlook. The example makes use of the \l dumpcpp tool to generate
+ a C++ namespace for the type library describing the Outlook
+ Object Model.
+
+ The project file for the example looks like this:
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/qutlook.pro 1
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/qutlook.pro 2
+
+ The project file uses the \c dumpcpp tool to add an MS Outlook type library to the project.
+ If this fails, then the generated makefile will just print an error message, otherwise
+ the build step will now run the \e dumpcpp tool on the type library, and
+ generate a header and a cpp file (in this case, \c msoutl.h and \c msoutl.cpp) that
+ declares and implement an easy to use API to the Outlook objects.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.h 0
+
+ The AddressView class is a QWidget subclass for the user interface. The QTreeView widget
+ will display the contents of Outlook's Contact folder as provided by the \c{model}.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 0
+ The AddressBookModel class is a QAbstractListModel subclass that communicates directly with
+ Outlook, using a QHash for caching.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 1
+ The constructor initializes Outlook. The various signals Outlook provides to notify about
+ contents changes are connected to the \c updateOutlook() slot.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 2
+ The destructor logs off from the session.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 3
+ The \c rowCount() implementation returns the number of entries as reported by Outlook. \c columnCount
+ and \c headerData are implemented to show four columns in the tree view.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 4
+ The \c headerData() implementation returns hardcoded strings.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 5
+ The \c data() implementation is the core of the model. If the requested data is in the cache the
+ cached value is used, otherwise the data is acquired from Outlook.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 6
+ The \c changeItem() slot is called when the user changes the current entry using the user interface.
+ The Outlook item is accessed using the Outlook API, and is modified using the property setters.
+ Finally, the item is saved to Outlook, and removed from the cache. Note that the model does not
+ signal the view of the data change, as Outlook will emit a signal on its own.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 7
+ The \c addItem() slot calls the CreateItem method of Outlook to create a new contact item,
+ sets the properties of the new item to the values entered by the user and saves the item.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 8
+ The \c update() slot clears the cache, and emits the reset() signal to notify the view about the
+ data change requiring a redraw of the contents.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 9
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/addressview.cpp 10
+ The rest of the file implements the user interface using only Qt APIs, i.e. without communicating
+ with Outlook directly.
+
+ \snippet activeqt/qutlook/main.cpp 0
+
+ The \c main() entry point function finally instantiates the user interface and enters the
+ event loop.
+
+ To build the example you must first build the QAxContainer
+ library. Then run your make tool in \c examples/activeqt/qutlook
+ and run the resulting \c qutlook.exe.
