Reply To: Identifying Outgoing Messages

[Support 2]

Hi Mickey,

Every message in the GroupWise message store is allocated a unique ID that never changes during the life of the message. Items that have not been saved , and therefore have not yet been allocated an ID, can be accessed using the special ID “X00”.

A workaround might be to check for a composing message (ID=”X00″) before checking BoxType. Alternatively, it may be worth saving as a draft and then using the ObjectAPI to access the BoxType using Message.BoxType.

Here is some code from our applet source library, which checks the ID and boxtype.

  if (GroupWise.ItemMessageIDFromView <> "X00") then
    Set oMsg = Client.ClientState.CommandMessage

    if ((oMsg.boxtype = fgwIncoming) or (oMsg.boxtype = fgwOutgoing)) then
      msgbox "Incoming or outgoing message"
      set oMsg = nothing
      exit sub
    end if
  end if

  msgbox "Draft message..."

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
