I should be able to provide some sample code. However, if the message you wish to query is not the selected message, what technique are you using to identify the message you wish to query the status of? Do you have the message ID?
Here’s some sample code, but I’m not sure if this does what you need:
dim iMsgID
' Returns the message ID of the active view.
iMsgID = GroupWise.ItemMessageIDFromView()
' Make sure the token didn't fail
if (instr(1, iMsgID, "Token failed execution", 1) <> 0) or (len(iMsgID) = 0) then
call msgbox("Unable to find a message view. Please execute this applet from a message toolbar.")
exit sub
end if
' Returns an item's type.
if (groupwise.ItemGetType(iMsgID) = 2) then
msgbox "Mail message view open."
end if
If this doesn’t help, please provide a little more information.
The basic function of the applet is to start a UI to create a task. The fields to insert information for example Subject, Bodytext are empty. This works fine. Now i want to enhance the applet with following functionality: When i start the applet inside a mail which is currently active (viewed) read the subject and the bodytext, start the UI and insert the subject and bodytext into the fields. With the code below i can determine what type of message it is (if i am right), but i cannot check the status of the mail if it is currently active (viewed). Only when it is currently active it should read the subject and bodytext to insert it, else open a empty UI.
‘ If Type = Mail read Subject and Bodytext Set SourceMsg = Client.ClientState.CommandMessage
if (SourceMsg.Classname = “GW.MESSAGE.MAIL”) then SourceSubject = SourceMsg.Subject SourceBodytext = SourceMsg.Bodytext end if
If I understand correctly, you need to determine if the message returned by the Client.ClientState.CommandMessage is currently opened, or close (i.e. just selected in the message list).
If this is correct, then I think you need to use some variation on the code from our previous post to determine if the command message ID is the same as the ID returned from ItemMessageIDFromView().
In other words, in addition to obtaining the CommandMessage object, call ItemMessageIDFromView(), and check that the command succeeds. If it does (which means a message view is opened), compare the message ID returned against the message ID from the CommandMessage as a double check you are using the correct message. Alternatively, you could just use the ItemGetText() methods using the message ID returned from ItemMessageIDFromView() to extract the subject and body from the currently opened view.
it works. Thanks. But where can i find the values which returns from groupwise.ItemGetType. I looked into the language guide but there are no values described.
