MAPI vs. Outlook OCX Using VB 6.0

Re: MAPI vs. Outlook OCX Using VB 6.0

I used the following code:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute _
Lib "shell32.dl l" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" ( _
ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) _
As Long

Private Sub lbl_Email_Click ()
Dim r As Long
r = ShellExecute(0, "open", "mailto:" & lbl_Email.Capti on, 0, 0, 1)
End Sub
