I'd like to know if there is a way of getting a script to run every x minutes and send new emails to a test Outlook 2013 mailbox. And at the other end a way of automatically being able to open the delivered mail. If so could someone post this example within this thread ?
Basically I am trying to simulate a user opening and closing an email.
Thanks
Hi,
I've seen a bit of different/inconsistent behaviour here and am trying to do the following:
Firstly, if i dont assign the room resource at the meeting level, i dont get any room booking confirmations for the occurence room changes.
If i do set the meeting room, say to Room1, then set a number of the recurring occurences to use room2 (which i know are availabile), i get emailes that room2 was booked for the dates, but i also get the standard "resource conflicts" email saying those dates ive assigned room2 to, have room1 booked out to someone else, so it seems that it doesnt seem to take into account that i've set the rooms to room2 in the occurences.
private void saveSchedule_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Inspector inspector = null;
object item = null;
inspector = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveInspector();
if (inspector != null)
{
item = inspector.CurrentItem;
if (item is AppointmentItem)
{
// use appointment
AppointmentItem appointment = item as AppointmentItem;
if (appointment.IsRecurring)
{
//get the recurring item from appointment
var recurrencePattern = appointment.GetRecurrencePattern();
//find the primary room to use
var groupedRooms = _schedule.Items.GroupBy(g => g.Address).Select(s => new { Address = s, Count = s.Count() });
var primaryRoom = groupedRooms.OrderByDescending(x => x.Count).Select(s => s.Address).First().Key;
var singleRoomForAllDates = groupedRooms.Count() == 1;
if (singleRoomForAllDates)
{
var primaryRoomResource = appointment.Recipients.Add(primaryRoom.Address);
primaryRoomResource.Type = (int)OlMeetingRecipientType.olResource;
appointment.Location = primaryRoom.Name;
}
else
{
//loop through the allocated rooms in the schedule and update the appointment accordingly
foreach (var scheduleEntry in _schedule.Items)
{
//get the recurring item occurence for the entry start date
var occurence = recurrencePattern.GetOccurrence(scheduleEntry.Range.Start);
//this is an exception as its using a different room
var alternativeRoomResource = occurence.Recipients.Add(scheduleEntry.Address.Address);
occurence.Location = scheduleEntry.Address.Name;
alternativeRoomResource.Type = (int)OlMeetingRecipientType.olResource;
}
}
}
}
}
}Any help appreciated.
Here is the error message: Error 5 To enable 'Download prerequisites form the location as my application' in the prerequisites dialog box, you must download file 'DotNetFX4client\dotNetFx40_CLient_x86_x64.exe' for item 'Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client profile (x86 and x64)' to your local machine . For more information , seehttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=239883. c:\Users\me\Documents\classify for Outlook 5.5.5 Source\Setup\Setup.vdproj setup
How do I fix this error?
Outlook.com and outlook mobile now allow for very cool features like:
pins: pin an email to the top of the folder
scheduled emails: once you receive an email you can remove it from your inbox and get it back a certain time in the future defined by the user.
I have been reviewing the latest API version, but I don't see any call that allows me to retrieve those emails. Maybe I overlooked?
If they are indeed not available, would it be in the future?
Kind Regards,
Cris
We use calendars to track tasks for several of our vehicles and we use categories (colors) to distinguish task status (booked, ready for pickup, completed, and so on). The calendars are shared with three others and they are listed as Editors, however, one of them does not see the "non-standard" categories and colors. I assume it is her profile setting but can not find anything that corrects this.
Can anyone please help me in correcting this issue, you assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Brian
My Add-In stores specific values in the UserProperties collection of the MeetingItem as well as in the associated AppointmentItem.
These values are displayed in a custom form in the Inspector Window.
SCENARIO:
I send a meeting invitation out to Invitee1 and Invitee2
They both accept, and Invitee1 updates the custom form in the Inspector Window.
He will always be able to see this information.
When Invitee2 opens the appointment in his calendar, I would like him to see this information as well.
As far as I can tell, when Invitee1 updates the Appointment in his calendar, the only thing updated is his copy of the appointment for this meeting and no one else's.
I guess I'm looking for some shared area that I can add information to.
There is a document How to: Check the Version of Outlook https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd941331(v=office.15).aspx#
it gives componentId for outlook2010,outlook2013, what is the id for outlook2016? Where I can find the ID for outlook2016?
Also I found office 2016 automation can not work well on x64 win10. The following code will create outlook process instance, the code work fine with both 32bit and 64bit outlook2010,outlook2013 on win7/win8.
CComPtr<outlook::_application>spApp;
hr = spApp.CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(Outlook::Application), NULL, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER);
The code works fine with both x32/x64 outlook2016 on win7,the code works fine too with 32 bit outlook2016 on x64 win10 too, but the code will get error hr=0x80040155 with 64 bit outlook2016 on win10, uninstall/reinstall x64 office2016 won’t fix the problem. Could it be a Win10 compatible issue with x64 outlook automation?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I want to disallow users to move or delete emails from their inbox. Currently I use a .NET addin which sets the "BeforeItemMove" event for the affected folders and always sets "Cancel = true;" and it is working fine.
All users are able to move emails with a custom button. Since the moving should be done by another user account with more rights,I use the "Microsoft.Exchange.Webservices" EWS API to create a second connection to Exchange with a different user and to move the email. This is also working fine. (I convert the EntryID to EwsID)
After the inbox email has been moved to a subfolder via Ews (with a Outlook addin Button)the "BeforeItemMove" events are gone, and the user can move emails again freely. I can set the event handlers again, but than they won't always fire or stop working after some tries.
The same happens when user A works in Outlook with mailbox Z and user B accesses the same mailbox Zwith Outlook Web Access (OWA), after moving a mail the already set and working eventhandlers are gone or do not fire anymore.
User A has full rights to mailbox Z, User B is owner of mailbox Z.
If user B (owner) uses Outlook and OWA at the same time, everything works and the events won't get lost.
But I need two different users, because one user should not be able to move mails by himself, another user account should be used for that.
We use Exchange 2016, Outlook 2013, .NET 4 and the latest Ews assemblies from NuGet.
Why does Outlook loose a event when a mail gets moved by EWS or OWA? I don't get it.
Thanks and regards
As discussed in this thread there is still no solution by removing/hide the where/when text in a appointment body created with EWS (exchange 2013)? Our users don't want to see this text.
We have a database that is updated when Appointments/Meetings are added, deleted, and updated. We store custom values in the UserProperty property of these Appointment/MeetingItmes
Further, the database updates are called from the (CalendarFolder).ItemChange and (SentItemsFolder).ItemAdd event handlers because the events that trigger these event handlers are fired by Outlook after network connectivity has been restored; which saves
us the headache of programming some sort of polling.
THE PROBLEM:
Create Meeting and Send it to another person.
Now Cancel that meeting and send the Cancelation.
In your "Sent Items" folder you will find the Meeting Cancelation you've just sent.
In the "Deleted Items" folder you will find the AppointmentItem that has just been deleted from your calendar.
Is there some combination of properties that I can use to search the DeletedItems folder that will match the AppointmentItem correspeonding to the Canceled MeetingItem in the "Sent Items" folder.
I would like to extend a generic user interface of Outlookactivity item.
The existing Activity items are journal entry,task and a note.
The purpose of extending is to override the main tab (with red border), but to enable the functionality of other tabs (circled in yellow)
If I extend the Outlook task item, I cannot override the main tab.
If I decide to create a custom form-region, I cannot enable the other tabs.
Any ideas?

Is there any way to fix that?

Hi.
I am trying to get a copied attachment (through ctrlL+c) from clipboard in outlook 2016. Following code is what I use and is functional for all outlook versions except for 2016. This method is being called when the user simulates a copy through
CTRL+C.
void GetClipBoardFiles()
{
// Getting the outlook process id using windows API
int outlookProccessId = GetProcessCurrent();
// getting the clipboard process id using windows API
IntPtr hwndClipboardOwner = GetClipboardOwner();
// getting owners process id of clipboard using windows API
uint processClipboardOwner = GetProcessFromWindowHandle(hwndClipboardOwner);
// If clipboard owner and outlook process id is equal, this copy
is done within outlook.
if (outlookProccessId == processClipboardOwner)
{
string[] fileNames = null;
// Check for the available files details in clipboard
if (Clipboard.ContainsFileDropList())
{
// my custom code.
}
}
}
Above code works fine in outlook 2003,2007,2010 and 2013 but for Outlook 2016, sometimes this code does not work. Even though the ctrl+C is simulated in outlook, owner's process id of clipboard do not match with outlook process id. Even it matches, Clipboard.ContainsFileDropList() method returns false while i can really paste the content which i copied to some folder or desktop.
Is it something to do with a new behavior of Outlook 2016 ? are there any accurate ways to get
the clipboard contents copied in Outlook.
