How to use this component from VB6

This project can also be used from a COM based language like VB script or VB6.

How do I do this:

• Download the latest version
• Open the MSGReader project
• Make sure the Platform target is set to X86 (otherwise it won't work from VB6)
• Build the code in release mode
• Get the file "MsgReader.dll" from the BuildOutput folder
• Copy the file to the location where you need it
• Register the file for COM interop with the follow command

Regasm.exe /codebase MsgReader.dll

After that you can call it like this from VBA, VB6 and any other COM compatible language:

VBA or VB6 example:

dim msgreader set msgreader = createobject("MsgReader.Reader")

msgreader.ExtractToFolder "[inputfile]", "[outputfolder]", [true or false]

public string[] ExtractToFolder(string inputFile, string outputFolder, bool hyperlinks = false)
