How to determine whether or not user sent MS Outlook message which was built from Java code?

In my program I create Outlook.exe process and send message with pre-populated contain. After sending message or closing message window I need to know whether or not user sent message.



exitValue() method of process doesn't help because exitValue in both cases is 0.



ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder();
Process process = processBuilder.command("C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OUTLOOK.exe", "/a").start();
if (process.exitValue() == 0) {
Session session = sessionExtracting();
session.beginTransaction();
SQLQuery query = session.createSQLQuery("UPDATE mailorder set mailordstatus = 2");
query.executeUpdate();
session.close();
}

    This is probably not a question suitable for StackOverflow - I'd suggest you try asking on a Microsoft product forum, or perhaps on the SuperUser stack-exchange site.

Firstly, Outlook is a singleton - if outlook.exe is already running, launching the second instance will simply transfer control to the first instance. Secondly, you are hardcoding the outlook.exe file location.



Use the Outlook Object Model (use a COM bridge) - create an instance of the Outlook.Application COM object, create new message using Application.CreateItem(0), populate the message properties (subject, Body, Recipients, etc,.) and either call MailItem.Send or display the message using MailItem.Display and trap the MailItem.Send event.
