Thanks Michael, I already found that. You may find there the relationship between XPCOM C++ bindings for Gecko and how to use them in fpc app. In my case i'm interested to access the adressbook in Thunderbird. Even if I would get along to find the right functions I have no idea how to process returned data. I guess you have to be a very good C++ developer for that as well. But that's ways over my skills, I think. Thanks for your help.
