following is a code snip.

1: dim msgSubj, msgDate, msgTo, msgSender

much more code…

2: msgSubj = trim(iMessage.Subject)
3: msgTo = trim(iMessage.To_)
4: msgSender = trim(iMessage.Sender)

line 2 works fine. Line 3 and 4 do not.

I get an error saying:

Formativ Applet runtime error
C:Documents and SettingsdeveloperLocal SettingsApplication DataAdvansysFormativ1.0Cache{24F7CE59-3573-47A1-BFD9-B21BEF35AE55}mail_archive.vbf
Object doesn’t support this property or method: ‘iMessage.To_’ at line 111, column 6

yet in my documentation I downloaded a few days ago:

CurrentItem.To_() : String
CurrentItem.Sender() : String

are the names of the properties. I am very confused as to why this does not work since line 2 works fine. The app wored fine with only line 2, until I tried to extend it with line 3 and 4 listed here.

Please assist.

Thanks,

It sounds like you might be confusing the CurrentItem object with the native GroupWise Message object. The CurrentItem.To_ and CurrentItem.Sender properties are properties of the CurrentItem object. The CurrentItem property is accessed via:
```
Set iMessage = GroupWise.ComposingItem
```
This is only valid if the currently selected item is being composed.

On the other hand, the native GroupWise Message object, which is used to access messages that already exist in the message store (99% of messages you deal with) is different. It doesn’t have a .To_ property, for example. This would explain the error about an unsupported property.

The properties available to you when using a Message object are documented here. Don’t forget to look at any message type specific subclass on the same site for message specific properties and methods.

I hope this helps.

ok, this is still not clear to me.
here is some code I should have sent you the first time I asked this question:

set iMessages = Client.ClientState.SelectedMessages ** working
…lots of code…
set iMessage = iMessages.item(cMsg) ** working
…lots of code…
msgSubj = trim(iMessage.Subject) ** working
msgTo = trim(iMessage.To_) ** not working
msgSender = trim(iMessage.Sender) ** not working

the problem I have is there appears to be no such object as Client.ClientState.SelectedMessages, I cannot find any reference to it in any of the downloadable manuals your web site offers. I also not not see it on the groupwise site. I am trying to modify a working program by added the msgTo, msgSender lines to the code. But I am not able to see the class definitions that were used to get this working in the first place.

Please assist.

Thanks.

Client.ClientState.SelectedMessages is documented at http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/gwc3po/gwc3penu/data/hye3ji8g.html

The line set iMessage = iMessages.item(cMsg) sets iMessage to a native GroupWise Object API Message object. A native GroupWise Message object is a different thing to a ComposingItem object. The ComposingItem object has a property called .To_. The native Object API Message object does not. By accessing the Client.ClientState.SelectedMessages collection, you are working with native Object API message types.

The native Object API Message object is documented at http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/gwobjapi/gwobjenu/data/hrgfssmm.html. Please see this link for the properties you can use. Note that you will need to work with the Recipients property of the message object in order to access the ‘To’ information.

I hope this clarifies the situation.
