How to test if I am editing an email or viewing a sent item…

[MrTibs]

I am trying to create and autosave feature but I am having some trouble. When you care creating an email, the ID is “X00” but after you save the email, it gets a new ID (a different one everytime). How can I tell if I am working on an email to be sent or simply looking at a recieved email or sent email?

You could probably determine this by looking at the BoxType property of the message. If it was ggwDraft (4) you would know it was a draft message.

See http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/gwobjapi/gwobjenu/data/hvdi8k74.html#hvdi8k74 for more information.

Which version of the GroupWise client are you using?

Thanks for the reply. I found this link but I don’t know how to use it in code.

I’m using ver. 6.5.3 of the client.

Here is some sample code to check the message type of an active view.

dim oMsg
dim iMessageID

‘ Get the message ID of an active view
if (groupwise.throwtoken(“ItemMessageIDFromView()”, iMessageID)) then

if (iMessageID = “X00”) then
msgbox “This is draft message”
else
‘ Check the box type of the message
set oMsg = Client.clientstate.commandmessage
msgbox oMsg.boxtype
set oMsg = nothing
end if

end if

Thanks
