Is the WebBrowser inside an Applet form (i.e TEmbeddedWeb)? If it is inside a form then I think you can use the WebBrowser event to do perform an action.

If the WebBrowser not inside a form then one possibility is to use the Advansys Formativ 2.0.1 API to execute the applet. The Advansys Formativ 2.0.1 API is a COM/XML based API allowing third parties to interact with Formativ from processes external to GroupWise. See the URL below for more information about Formativ API:

You can use the utilities.Timer inside the loop to wait for the seconds specified. For example, uilities.Timer(1) will wait for a second.

I also will recommend to use the utilities.DoEvents inside the loop to process any pending messages in the Windows application message queue. Its also a good idea not to run the loop indefinitely, have some sort of exit strategery. For example, exit the loop after some number of attempts.

See the Formativ language guide for more information about the Utilities object and its properties.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your enquiry.

Send a message to support (support@advansyscorp.com) about the enhancement request (i.e. attendees) and current issues (i.e alarm, semicolon, etc). Please attach some sample ics file(s) and provide steps to reproduce the issue.

Please note, all applets supplied to the Novell Cool Solutions Applet Central are not supported by Advansys. However, we always try our best to fix any bug and add enhancements when the development resources become available.

In the meantime, if you need to make any custom enhancement then I would suggest you contact a Formativ development partner, one of which should be able to assist. You can access the full list at:

Is this a custom applet or Advansys commercial applet? If it is a custom applet then can you place a message box in Main subroutine to test the applet is called. See the example below:

Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)
  msgbox "Main()"
  ....
  ....
End Sub

Could you post the Formativ configuration, you can obtain the configuration by selecting Help | About Formativ… from the GroupWise main menu. When the About Formativ dialog appears, go to the Configuration tab and click the button Copy to clipboard.

One of our customer reported this behaviour recently (http://www.advansyscorp.com/forums/topic/8771001341/) and we have informed Novell. Novell has created defect #236769 for this bug. Hopefully this bug will be fixed in next GroupWise client release. We will post to this forum once we have more information.

Basically this behaviour happen if any custom registry key(s) exists in “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENovellGroupWise5.0C3PODataTypesGW.MESSAGE.MAIL”. Advansys and other 3rd party developer creates their own registry key under “GW.MESSAGE.MAIL” to display the custom toolbar icon on GroupWise mail message. We are not sure what happens behind the scene of GroupWise client but it appear that recent version of GroupWise 7 client fails to process these registry keys.

In the meantime, you can delete the registry key(s) under the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENovellGroupWise5.0C3PODataTypesGW.MESSAGE.MAIL” to view the message in shared folder. Please note, if you delete the keys under “GW.MESSAGE.MAIL” then mail message will not have any custom icon on the toolbar.

You can use the GroupWise Query to display the search results with a query folder.

Your external application can call the Formativ script which will create the query folder if not exists and select the folder. You can set the StartOnOpen properties of the query folder to automatically start the query when the query folder is opened.

See the Object API (http://developer.novell.com/documentation/gwobjapi/index.html?gwobjenu/data/h7ikbsqg.html) for more information. Here is some details of the Query:

quote:

---

Query

Provides query information and actions. This object can represent either a stand-alone query (which does not persist in the message database) or a query associated with a query folder (which does persist in the message database).
Properties

The following table lists properties along with their access and descriptions.

Property

Application R/O Application. The Application object.

Completed R/O Boolean. TRUE if the query has finished or has never before been started. FALSE if the query is still executing. When logged into a remote database, a running query will not complete until the user synchronizes (downloads) the query results.

CompletionDate R/O Date. The date and time the query was last completed, or if the query is still in progress, the date and time of the last update.

Expression R/W DEFAULT. String. The filter expression to be matched. This can be set to NULL or an empty string (“”). In either case, no filtering will be applied to the query. See Section 5.0, Filter Expressions .

Locations R/O Locations collection. The locations to be searched. Can contain Account, DocumentLibrary, and Folder objects.

Parent R/O Object. The Account object (for stand-alone queries) or Folder object (for query folders) that owns this object.

QueryMessages R/O MessageList. The messages that match the filter expression. Returns snapshots of the partial results if Completed = FALSE, or the final results if Completed = TRUE.

SearchLocally R/W Boolean. TRUE means execute the search locally, FALSE means execute the search on the master system (applies only when running Remote).

StartOnOpen R/W Boolean. TRUE means the client will automatically start the query when the query folder is opened. Affects only client behavior. Object API behavior is unaffected because folder objects are not opened.

Methods
Folder CreateFolder(String FolderName, [Folder ParentFolder])
Creates a new query folder based on this query. The new folder will have its own private query instance. FolderName is the name of the new folder. ParentFolder is the folder in which the new folder is created; if omitted, the new folder is created in the root folder. Returns the new folder.

Refresh()
Forces this Query object to reread property values from the message database.

* If this Query object belongs to a query folder, the folder’s Messages collection is not refreshed (consider refreshing the folder instead). Use this method to obtain a new snapshot while the query is executing.
* If the Query object belongs to a query folder, it is also refreshed when its owning Folder object is refreshed.
* If the Query object is a stand-alone query, it is not refreshed when its owning Account object is refreshed.

The actual reading of a specific property may be postponed until the next time the property is accessed. This “lazy evaluation” is an optimization that avoids unnecessary reading of unaccessed properties. Because Refresh may be used to update the Completed property, the reading of the QueryMessages property should be postponed. The CompletionDate and QueryMessages properties must be in sync (they must be read as simultaneously as possible).

Start()
Starts execution of the query. Sets Completed to FALSE and causes the QueryMessages property, or the parent folder’s Messages collection, to start returning partial results.

Stop()
Stops execution of the query. It issues a HALT command to the GroupWise Search Engine. The HALT is handled the next time a set of Search Results is returned. The Stop method does not set the Query.Completed flag to TRUE. You can take the current set of found messaages and start using them.

This method is available only in GroupWise 5.5 and later versions.

All Day event option has been added in GroupWise 7.0 and later version. We need to update our solution to support this property. I have added an enhancement request to our database against this solution. We will let you know once we update the solution.

Here is some additional information about AllDay event.

quote:

---

AllDay R/W (http://developer.novell.com/documentation/gwobjapi/index.html?gwobjenu/data/h7ikbsqg.html)
An appointment that lasts all day, so no start time is necessary. AllDay can be read on any type of appointment. It can be set on draft or personal appointments only.
An AllDay appointment starts at midnight of the first day and ends at midnight of the next day. For example, the properties show up in the Object API StartDate as 23-June-2006 at 12:00:00 a.m. and in the EndDate as 24-June-2006 at 12:00:00 a.m. —GroupWise 7.0 and later

Good to hear that your issue has been solved. We haven’t had any report about the installer and we could not re-produce the problem in-house, so we are thinking it could be an environmental issue.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or comments.

We have emailed you the flexalock version of the applet.

Hope the latest version of GroupWise solves the issue.

You can also configure the Formativ Portals folder (i.e rename, disable, assign default applet) from the Formativ Control Panel applet (Start – Control Panel – Advansys Formativ – select User Interface tab).

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Formativ Runtime only execute flexalock solution. Formativ Admin and Studio can execute flexalock and open source version. It appears that you have open source version of the solution in Formativ Runtime. This can happen, if you installed Formativ Studio prior to Formativ Runtime or a corrupt Personal Outlook Migration pack installation.

Can you un-install the Personal Outlook Migration solution (Start- Control Panel – Add or remove programs), make sure the applet (“C:Documents and SettingsPecharDokumentyAdvansysFormativAppletsPersonal Outlook Migration.vbf”) removed and finally install the Personal Outlook Migration solution from the URL above. Can you see the “Personal Outlook Migration_Express.vbf” or “Personal Outlook Migration_Flexalock.vbf” to the “C:Documents and SettingsPecharDokumentyAdvansysFormativApplets” folder?

We also will email you the flexalock version of the solution. You will need to delete the open source version and place the flexalock version into the Applets (“C:Documents and SettingsPecharDokumentyAdvansysFormativApplets”) folder.

Could you please post the Formativ configuration. You can obtain the configuration by selecting Help | About Formativ… from the GroupWise main menu. When the About Formativ dialog appears, go to the Configuration tab and click the button Copy to clipboard.

We are using GroupWise 7.0.1 (14/12/2006) and unable to re-produce the same issue. We was told by the Novell that GroupWise 7 IR1 (prior to 14/12/2006 build) had some bugs. We recommend you to upgrade the GroupWise client to the latest release.

Hope this helps. Look forward to hear from you.

We are not sure why the applet exists in the Quick Config but not listed in “Available Applets” section in your configuration. Please make sure the applet is enabled in Quick Config. Have you run the Personal Outlook Migration pack installer from the URL provided above?

Can you find the “Personal Outlook Migration_Express.vbf” in your system? If you able to locate the file, close GroupWise, place the file into “C:Documents and SettingsPecharDokumentyAdvansysFormativApplets” folder and starts GroupWise.

Look forward to hear from you.

Presentation Pack just has to have a Different parameter for registering it. Why do they have to be different?

Different switches uses (i.e /s, /i, /r, etc) in Registration utilitiy to identify the product types (i.e Formativ, presentation packs, etc) and perform specific action. Formativ Users Guide explain more information about all the command line switches. Thanks for your suggestions, we will update the ADDON.cfg file to provide more examples about the switches.

Please see below some sample Command Line Switches. All command line switches are case-insensitive. Please see the Formativ Registration Utility Guide or Formativ Users Guide for more information.

quote:

---

Silent Mode
/s

Run the installation in the background without any user interface or prompts. This is useful for configuring unattended installations. If used, this switch must be the first switch to appear on the command line.

Installing Using a Configuration File
/i-<file name>

Specifies the configuration file to be used during the installation. A configuration file is a text file containing settings to be used during installation. The configuration file must be placed in the same folder location as the Formativ setup file being executed.

Register Formativ During Installation
/r-<Registration Code>

Registers Formativ automatically during the installation. For the registration to be successful you must provide the registration code exactly as supplied. You can obtain a registration code from your Formativ reseller or Advansys.

Register Formativ and Exit
/ro-<Registration Code>

Registers Formativ but does not install Formativ itself. Formativ must already be installed on the workstation for this switch to have any effect. For the registration to be successful you must provide the registration code exactly as supplied. You can obtain a registration code from your Formativ reseller or Advansys.

Unregister Formativ
/u

Unregisters a previously registered version of Formativ. If this switch is used, all others are ignored. Using this switch will NOT provide another 30 day trial period.
