Access birthday property in an address book entry

[Support 3]

Hi,

It appears that you can access the Birthday, CreateDate, LastModifieddate, etc field of an address book entry by using the work-around suggested by Glade at GroupWise Object API forum:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Object_API_Defect_Fixes#ADDRESSBOOK_OBJECT

Please see the sample code below which shows the available fields of an address book entry. This sample code below eliminate the MAPI layer by using the MultiLogin and by setting the MutliLoginAddressBookSupport flag to TRUE. It then iterate through available fields (e.g Name, Birthday, CreateDate, LastModifieddate, etc) of the address book entry.

NOTE: In order to use the MultiLogin() method, you will need the account userid, password and commandline argument (optional). If you use the Trusted Application then you will not require the password. See the Application object in Object API documentation (http://developer.novell.com/documentation/gwobjapi/index.html?gwobjenu/data/h7ikbsqg.html) and http://developer.novell.com/documentation//gwobjapi/gwobjenu/data/ain9a37.html#bncizkb (Section 1.7.7, Date Fields) for more information.

dim oBook

dim oEntry

dim oAccount



set oAccount = groupwise.account.parent.MultiLogin("userid", "/ipa-10.x.xx.x /ipp-1677", "password", 1, "")



if not oAccount.MultiLoginAddressBookSupport then

oAccount.MultiLoginAddressBookSupport = true

end if





set oBook = nothing

set oBook = oAccount.addressbooks.item("Test Book")





if oBook is nothing then

exit sub

end if



set oEntry =  oBook.AddressBookEntries.item(1)



for each oField in oEntry.fields

msgbox "Field Name: " & oField.Name & vbcrlf & "Value: " & oField.value

next



set oEntry = nothing

set oBook = nothing

set oAccount = nothing
