Reply To: Creating a Posted Task

[Support 1a]

You want to add the message directly into the Calendar message store. The technique you were using (the GroupWise.ItemSet… commands) are generally used when you are working with items via the standard GroupWise user interface. To add messages directly into the message store with no normal GroupWise user interface (you could add your own Formativ UI if appropriate), use the methods under GroupWise.Account.

Here’s an example of how to add a personal task using this technique:

Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)

  dim objTask

  ' Create the new task
  set objTask = GroupWise.Account.Calendar.Messages.Add("GW.MESSAGE.TASK", 3)

  ' Set some properties
  objTask.OnCalendar = TRUE
  objTask.FromText = GroupWise.Account.Owner.DisplayName
  objTask.TaskCategory = "A"
  objTask.TaskPriority = 1
  objTask.Subject = "This was created using Formativ"
  
  ' Make it due 7 days from now
  objTask.DueDate = Date + 7

End Sub

You may want to have a look in the ‘Programmers Guide’ for more examples and information.
