Why would that be, they are not the same functions, one doesn't use the
other, they are just a conversion from the two formats, aren't they?

I suspect that these will stop working the same time
the HrSzFromEntryID function is discontinued

I got the answer from Dmitry (the OutlookSpy creator), so if anyone is
interested the function is below.

function HexFromBin(lpb : pointer; cb : DWORD):string;
var HexStr:string;
    i:integer;
begin
  SetLength(Result,2*cb);
  for i:=0 to cb-1 do begin
    HexStr:=IntToHex(TByteArray(lpb^)[i], 2);
    Result[2*i+1]:=HexStr[1];
    Result[2*i+2]:=HexStr[2];
  end;
end;

to convert it back, use:

function BinFromHex(hex : string):string;
var HexStr:string;
    i:integer;
begin
  SetLength(Result,Length(hex) div 2);
  for i:=1 to Length(Result) do begin
    HexStr:='$'+Copy(hex, 2*i-1, 2);
    byte(Result[i]):=StrToInt(HexStr);
  end;
end;

Its return value can be cast to PEntryID as
PEntryID(PChar(BinFromHexResult))

In fact I can't find any references to this function apart from in the
link below, and it does say that the function may be discontinued. The
only MapiUtil.h I can find has no reference to this function. Has anyone
used this call.

Thanks for that, does anyone have the MAPIUtils.h file translated?

there is a function (pardon my C++)

     HrSzFromEntryID(ULONG cb, LPENTRYID lpEntryID,
                        LPTSTR FAR *lpsz);


in MAPI32.DLL that i think does what you want.


Have a look at:
