Is it possible to use MAPI to exchange data with the Message Class IPM.Appointment in Outlook? (Or any other IPM. Message Class for that matter)

Thanks,

Hans.

sorry hans .. don't use mapi so can't answer your question ..

just wanted to say hi .. how is the home in spain .. get there often?

Hi David,

Hope someone (Kevin???) will pick this up. I know that the described MAPI calls (using IPM. - IPM.Note or any other "Send email" form) work without problems, just want to see if I can do the same with the Calendar (IPM.Appointment) and Notes (IPM.StickyNote). If nobody knows I will just have to experiment myself - so what is new..

Home very good - temperatures up to 23C at the moment - Only 5 days a month in the UK, the rest work from home!! BUT am enjoying the nice NY weather at the moment. Hope you are doing well, speak soon,

Hans.

Which DLL are you proposing using (as in - do the docs for it indicate that you CAN use it for this)? Is there any reason why you're not using http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2445.html?

In OI 7.21, You can easily use OLE to drive Outlook.

The code belows shows a vbscript example, the equivalent OI code

Function test_Ole_AppointMent(void)

/*

' ——–

' Original vbscript version from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/officetips/apr05/tips0405.mspx

' ——–

Const olAppointmentItem=1

Set objOutlook=CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set objAppointment=objOutlook.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)

objAppointment.Start=#4/11/2005 11:00 AM#

objAppointment.Duration=60

objAppointment.Subject=Scripting Guys Planning Session"

objAppointment.Body=Meet with Scripting Guys to discuss upcoming plans."

objAppointment.Location=44/2039"

objAppointment.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart=15

objAppointment.ReminderSet=True

objAppointment.Save

*/

* —-

* Oi version

* rjc 03-20-2006

* —

equ true$ to 1

equ false$ to 0

equ olAppointmentItem to 1

debug

objOutlook=OleCreateInstance("Outlook.Application")

if OleStatus() then GoTo ErrorHandler

objAppointment=OleCallMethod(objOutlook, 'CreateItem', olAppointmentItem)

if OleStatus() then GoTo ErrorHandler

* Note That -] syntax works for OlePutProperty / OleGetProperty in System Editor, OI 7.2

objAppointment.Start=4/11/2006 11:00 AM"

if OleStatus() then GoTo ErrorHandler

objAppointment-]Duration=60

objAppointment-]Subject=Oi OLE functions"

objAppointment-]Body=Meet with Scripting Guys to discuss upcoming plans."

objAppointment-]Location=109A"

objAppointment-]ReminderMinutesBeforeStart=15

objAppointment-]ReminderSet=True$

if OleStatus() then GoTo ErrorHandler

x=OleCallMethod(objAppointment, 'Save')

if OleStatus() then GoTo ErrorHandler

return 0

ErrorHandler:

call Set_Status(1, 'Ole_Error ' : oleStatus())

return 1

Hey Bob.

Way cool! That is so neat. You will need to do a complete white paper on this.

Regarding an earlier post on writing to Excel, you mentioned XML in connection with Office stuff. Is the XML format available today or is this for Office 12?

Again, thanks for sparking some excitement on this forum. Your two recent examples really have the potential to open up new opportunities and in fulfilling what you were preaching some years ago "Let Bill work for you."

It's now here more true than ever and thanks for spotlighting this. Darn, now if I only had enough time to play . This is great.

Thanks again,

Ray Chan

Thanks Ray.

Thanks too to Rev Uk for the 7.21 OLE improvements that make these examples possible.

XML is there as of Office 2003.

Bob

Hi Bob,

I agree with Ray - Way Cool.

Exactly what I was looking for. I think a white paper on this would not be wasted.

Thanks again,

Hans.

Bob,

So would I be able to rework this into OI as well? Any more goodies connecting to Outlook?

Thanks again,

Hans.

You should be able to rework any of the examples.

I don't have a pile of these lying around. However, when I read your posting yesterday I googled for "MS outlook appointment vbscript example", found a good one, translated it in 15 minutes.

I tried to lay out that example so you could do more of them.

We are working on a white paper (aren't we Sean?)

Dear Rev UK:

Thanks too to Rev Uk for the 7.21 OLE improvements that make these examples possible.

Mucho thanks for your excellent contribution! Keep up the good work. It gives us something to live for.
