Select a contact programmatically

[naveed]

I'm writing a C# addin, to do some contact management. I'm stumped on
this seemingly trivial task. I want to select (focus) a contact item.
How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

Select an item in a folder view? That's not possible.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

I sort of solved the problem by using this crude approach, after
making sure the contacts folder is being displayed:

SendKeys.Send(contact.FileAs);
