create a group appointment

[sonja]

we developed an applet that should create a group appointment. we succeded in creating a posted appointment in the calendar of the person that runs the applet. the final goal is to choose a user from the address book, and send the appointment to that person or even better to post it in that user’s calendar.
thanks in advance for any tips!

Hello Sonja,

An example applet is on it’s way via email.

Hi again!

Thanks for the example applet, now sending appointments works fine. There are only two problems:
1) (minor) The appointment only shows up in the recipient’s calendar, but not in the sender’s. This is actually intended behaviour (for us), but we don’t know, why it doesn’t show up in the senders calendar.

2) (major) We try to show all appointments for a specific day in a list with the following code:

GroupWise.Account.Calendar.FindMessages("(START_DATE = " & year(FilterDate) & "/" & month(FilterDate) & "/" & day(FilterDate) & " )")

This code finds only appointments sent from the current account, but not the received ones from someone else. However, we search in the right place – listing all appointments lists really ALL appointments, sent and received ones.
Iterating through all appointments, and checking the date manually works too, but will be too slow with large calendars.

Is there a possibility to filter by date?

I’ve not tried it, but you may need to add the sender as a recipient of the appointment.

I suspect you will need to expand the Find query string to include the box types of the messages you wish to find, i.e. INCOMING and OUTGOING. Object API Query syntax can be quite peculiar, so you may need to play around with this a little.
