Category missmatch

[Marco]

Hi,

Groupwise 6.5 SP1, Formativ V1.6.0.8

My applet will set a filter to the mailbox and walk throught
the results. By accessing the category of a message I get an
strange error. It’s not easy to reproduce it, so I hope the
following will help:

1. Setup 3 posted tasks
2. Give the first one a userdefined category,
the second no category and
the third a userdefined category different to the first one
3. start the following applet
(I have reduced it, so it makes no sense, just showing the error)

The error that I get:
The first messagebox shows the correct category for the first task, the second
one is empty, which is also ok, but the third will show the category of
the first! message.
Now set a category to the second task and start the applet again.
Everything is working ok ?!

Any hints?

dim MailBoxObj
dim Msg
dim sFilter
dim iCount

dim sCat
dim i
dim x

groupwise.account.refresh

sFilter = “(TASK) AND (ACCEPTED) AND (NOT COMPLETED)”

Set MailBoxObj = GroupWise.Account.AllMessages.Find(sFilter)
iCount = MailBoxObj.Count

if iCount > 0 then
for x = 1 to iCount
set Msg = MailBoxObj.Item(x)
if (Msg.BoxType <> 2) then
iCatCount = Msg.Categories.Count
select case iCatCount
case 0
msgbox(Msg.Subject & “: empty”)
case 1
set sCat = Msg.Categories.Item(1)
msgbox(Msg.Subject & “: ” & sCat.Name)
case else
for i = 1 to iCatCount
set sCat = Msg.Categories.Item(i)
if (sCat.Primary) then
msgbox(Msg.Subject & ” (” & i &”): ” & sCat.Name)
end if
next
end select
end if
next
end if
End Sub

I cannot find anything wrong in your code.

It may be worthwhile comparing the results you see from the applet with the categories displayed in the GroupWise client.

We have found that the category displayed in the GroupWise user interface can differ from the category reported by the GroupWise Object API. This is a defect in the current release of the GroupWise client. A workaround is to call

  GroupWise.Refresh

and/or set a 1-2 second delay after changing the category value in an applet.

Perhaps the behaviour you see is related to a different GroupWise defect. Please notify this forum of your progress. We may need to inform Novell of a new defect that requires fixing.
