Create GW Filter

[valveamp]

I would like to extend the capabilities of the example “Create GroupWise Filter.vbf” in order to select the “Advansys Category” as a filter option. I have been able to add it to the options list, but am stuck on what parameter I need to call, and where the call is listed.

could you help?
many thanks, Simon

The following code snippet should assist. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  dim hFilter
  ' Clear any previous filter
  Call GroupWise.FilterClear  
  hFilter = GroupWise.FilterCreate(fttEmpty, TRUE)  
  Call GroupWise.FilterSetText(hFilter, 331, "Test", matSubText, "Advansys Category","")    
  ' Apply current filter
  Call GroupWise.FilterApply(hFilter,fatItemList,"")

many thanks for that, I have got it working if I manually put a Category name in place of the “Test” parameter, but I cannot work out how to capture the Category name from the selected message.

I have looked through the Category Applet and tried several different things, however I have been unable to make it work

any help would be greeted with thanks

The second snippet of code is what you are probably after. The first one is included for good measure.

1. Create a filter to return messages which have any value in the custom field 'Advansys Category'.

   Call GroupWise.FilterSetText(hFilter, 331, "**", matSubText, "Advansys Category","")    
 
 
2. Read the 'Advansys Category' custom field value from a selected message.
  
   on error resume next
   Set Msg = Client.ClientState.CommandMessage
   set FieldOut = Msg.Fields.Item("Advansys Category", fgwString)
   msgbox (FieldOut.Value)    
   set FieldOut = nothing
   set Msg = nothing
 

We hope this helps. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

many thanks for the help, I have now got it working. I am aware that a message can be placed in multiple categories, and at the moment I am not specifically dealing with that, but for single categories it works fine.

cheers
