OutlookEX UDF

If you run this version of the script you should find log file "MailSignature.txt" in "C:\temp". it should look like:

I only got this:

2017/01/24 15:14:25 AutoIt: 3.3.14.2, AdminMode, OS: WIN_10/X64, OSLang: 0409, Keyboard: 00000406, Script: C:\Testing\Test1.au3

 

From the compiled version I got:

That's the expected result! Fine!
It seems that some Windows setting do not allow the script to write to the screen when run as admin?

[david1337]

Hmm yeah it seems like it. Weird?

Did you see my post #620 ?

Strange. Don't understand why it crashes.
Is this a situation you need to handle properly? Means: Return an error instead of crashing.

[david1337]

Yeah I would very much like to avoid ANY error message from the UDF.

If the _OL_MailSignatureSet fails, no matter what the reason, I just want it to write in the log, and then skip the _OL_MailSignatureSet part.

Btw I hope you know that I appreciate all your time

 

Something like:

#include <OutlookEX.au3>

_OL_MailSignatureSet("Sig", "Sig")

If @error Then
   FileWrite("C:\temp2\ErrorLog.txt","@error: " & @error & @CRLF & "@extended: " & @extended)
EndIf

I started Outlook as Administrator and removed #RequireAdmin from the script.
I get the expected result: @error = 3, @extended = 6.

Weird

[david1337]

Yeah it's so weird that you can avoid the crash with the line error, and I can't. I have even tested on different machines/servers.

Are you testing with compiled script?

Edited January 25, 2017 by david1337

[water]

Exactly.

[david1337]

I think that I will leave that for now

Can you think of any other case where the _OL_MailSignatureSet could make the script crash, which may be fixed after the new edited _OL_MailSignatureSet and _OL_MailSignatureGet functions?

[water]

As I have extended the COM error handling I can't think of a situation that still could crash your script.

But never say never

[david1337]

Yeah that is awesome! What I meant was, can you think of any other situation EXCEPT this admin rights thing, that could crash the script before you extended the COM error handling?

Edited January 25, 2017 by david1337

[water]

No. If it still crashes (index error in array handling etc.) then it's a bug and needs to be fixed by me

[Clown007_de]

I found a small "Bug"? in the function _OL_FolderTree. If the folder name includes special character like ‘\’, “/” the udf gives this information back: / = %2F, \=%5C.

After the _OL_FolderTree i need this information for _OL_ItemFind. But this function don't work with this %2f.

After  a litle search i found out this is html encoding. So it's easy to decode

Will check as soon as I return to my Office.

[bon3o]

Sorry for being annoying but i have a feeling that my post #618  wasn`t marked) Can i please ask you to help me? 

[water]

At the moment there is no ready-made function to do what you want.
I will do some tests as soon as I return to my Office.

[david1337]

Hi water

Okay I just found another situation where _OL_MailSignatureSet causes a crash.
If a user does not have an Outlook profile set up, and the _OL_MailSignatureSet function is called, then this menu will pop up:

 

If user clicks "Cancel", then the script will crash with "Line error xxxxxxx"

I guess this is because _OL_MailSignatureGet cannot get in contact with Outlook.
The new error handling should have taken care of this?

 

_OL_MailSignatureSet("name", "name")
If @error Then
   FileWrite(@ScriptDir & "\ErrorLog.txt","@error: " & @error & @CRLF & "@extended: " & @extended)
EndIf

(Your 2 new functions are included in the OutlookEX UDF)

[david1337]

And to be more specific, this is the line that causes the crash:

Local $sNewMessageSig = $oSignatureObject.NewMessageSignature

(The requested action with this object has failed.)

 

And this error check just below that line, must be the one that fails to do it's job:

If @error Then Return SetError(6, @error, "")

 

[water]

Thanks for reporting this problem. Will check as soon as I return to my office.
