With a lot of work...
I read somewhere it is only used to read and extract data and we cannot
create something like outlook appointment . Correct me if I am wrong.
Currently, HSMF is read-only, but a lot of the stubs are there for
read-write support. If you wanted to add this support, you'd need to do
something like:
* Get HSMF so it can open a file, then save it again without changes
* Work out what chunks are needed to handle an appointment, and add
support for those
* Work out what chunks get modified to add a reference to an appointment,
and add modify/save support to those
* Work out how the new appointment chunks fit together, and code up some
high level support for adding a consistent set of them
If you do fancy adding this support in, we'd love some patches! Join dev@
if you plan to, and we can all give you some advice on doing it
