access to and subject of a wordmail item
 

Hi Ken

I have found the solution!!

All you need to do is to do objmailitenm.save! and the fields are then
recognised!

It is always something really small!

Many thanks for your help on this one

More than 1 Activate event is normal. With WordMail you even get an extra
Activate event over the Outlook editor, as a sort of bonus g.

About all I can think of is that when you are entering subject and to and
are in the MailEnvelope portion of the WordMail window that the Outlook
Inspector hasn't yet been updated with that data. Unfortunately there's no
real way to read that mailenvelope data from the msoEnvelope wrapper.

You might be able to set the cursor to the body of the email by setting a
selection in the Document object (WordEditor). That might update the
Inspector.CurrentItem properties.

Hi Ken

I have added the following to the activate event

msgbox objinsp.to

and

after binding

msgbox objmailitem.subject

and they both return empty strings with no errors

However, if i then enter an email address and a subject in wordmail
new mail form, then click my control and check objmailitem.to or
objmailitem.subject, they are an empty string. this is very strange.
It works fine if word is not the mail editor. i am testing using
outlook 2003

What is wierd, is that when i open a new word mail, the
objinsp_activate is fired several times, is this right?

is there some sort of event i can fire which sort of updates the
objinsp with the values entered in the new mail fields
programmatically?

cheers
