Hello agraham,

After assigning this to an Outlook library Contact object you should be able to access all the details of the contact - but I haven't gone on to check this out yet.

... how can I do that?

Can you please explain it?

THANK YOU in advance.

What you don't get are any other details than the contact name.

My general question is: Is it possible to get data such as "FirstName", "LastName" "HomeTelephone" "HomeStreet", etc. and putting them into several TextBoxes?

(... and how is the code for that?)

Thank you for your answers.

I haven't tried this for real but something like this should work.

  ...
  OutlookContact.New1 ' only need to do it once
  ...

If ChooseContact.Show = cOK Then ' dialog OK
  ' assign the selected contact reference to an Outlook library Contact object
 OutlookContact.Value = ChooseDialog.SelectedContact
 ' now all the properties should be available
  tbxFirstName.Text = OutlookContact.FirstName
  tbxLastName.Text = OutlookContact.LastName
  ....
End If

All those fields are available from the sample I provided on page2 of this thread. Here it is, http://www.b4x.com/forum/code-samples-tips/3735-standard-choose-contact-dialog-2.html#post21765 If you need help with how to put the data into a textbox, you oughta learn a few more basics of b4ppc first.

Just search con.? for other numbers once you have a string match on the name's.

Hello agraham,

Thank you very much for your help. I needed just the "one tip" how to begin it.
Your DLL-File is great (it saves time for me) :sign0188:

Attached is the solution for those who want to use it.

I´ve learned ...

Thank you for your help. I used the DLL from agraham.

This forum is really a big help for newbies like me.

Thanks. You may want to look at this "proper" version of it. http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/3853-contact-property-chooser-libray.html You can choose from amongst a contact's properties as well as choose a contact from a list. You can also pre-filter the list for the user to choose from if required.
