Accessing Information from GroupWise.AddressBookDlg

[ManfredS]

Hi,
How can i access the information from the GroupWise.AddressBookDlg?

For example the user selects entries for TO, CC and BCC.

If the user selects the close-button where is the provided information stored (and how can i use information for e.g creating a email (draft) message?

Thanks for help
Manfred

– Add the GWab control to your form (In Formativ Form designer, select GroupWise tab then add the GWab control). Change the name property to “oGWAB”
– Change the ShowButtons property to “2” which will add the “Ok” button.
– Double click the “OnOkClick” event and add the following code

  
Sub testGWab1OkClick(Sender)

  dim iText
  dim iCounter

  iCounter = MainDlg.oGWAB.Count

  for x = 0 to iCounter - 1
    iText = iText & MainDlg.oGWAB.EMailAddress(x) & ";"
  next

  msgbox iText

End Sub

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your quick answer.

So far i could not find out how i can determine the TargetType (e.g. TO, CC, BCC) because i try to send emails with the informations from the selected items.

best regards

Please see “Address Book Control” in GroupWise ActiveX API for available methods: http://developer.novell.com/documentation/gwactive/index.html?page=/ndk/doc/gwactive/gwax_enu/data/bktitle.html

Follwing code will return the target type (TO, CC, BC) of the selected contacts.

  
  dim iText
  dim iCounter

  iCounter = MainDlg.oGWAB.Count

  for x = 0 to iCounter - 1
    iText = iText & MainDlg.oGWAB.EMailAddress(x) & " (target type: " & MainDlg.oGWAB.TargetType(x) & ");"
  next

  msgbox iText

Hi, i tried your sample code but the returned Target Type seems to be false if i select e.g. 6 items with target type TO.
The returned values are 6;6;0;0;-1;-1

It appears to be a bug in the GroupWise ActiveX – “Address Book Control”, TargetType returns what seems to be random values. We will report this behaviour to Novell and post any update in this thread.
