OutlookEX UDF - Help & Support (III)

nitekram · November 26, 2015

I see what you mean about maybe missing an alert - any suggestions, as I do not want to miss one - maybe, write them to a text file, and retrieve them from there, updating the GUI for anything new? Or would it be possible to have multiple calls to the same function - having more than one msgbox or in my case GUI show up for each new event?

As for not appearing correctly: I am trying to allow the GUI to show the whole subject line, as that will be the width of the GUI window. When I try to add the length of the string to the GUI width size, it still cuts off, like maybe the StringLen does not work on $oOL_Item.Subject ?

water · November 26, 2015

As AutoIt is single threaded you can't have multiple MsgBoxes/GUIs at the same time. Maybe create a GUI with a ListView in the mains cript and add a new entry for every new mail?

I think the GUI width can't be easily calculated from the number of characters. M takes more place than an i. I know Melba has an UDF to calculate what you need (I think it is called StringSize).

Thanks...will test it out.

Okay, after adding the code, I am starting to get crashes on the outlook object:

err.description is: The operation failed.
err.windescription: Exception occurred.

err.number is:    80020009
err.lastdllerror is:    0

Unfortunately this is a general purpose error. Without the script line where it happens it is impossible to tell what goes wrong.

nitekram · November 27, 2015

Here is another error...the script was the ol too familiar like 35632 - I will disable error checking and get the exact error line number

err.description is:

I did get another line number error, after the last error, had to go though about 5 msgboxes - Line 38860 - Subscript used on non-accessible variable. But the first error before I added the error checking was...38860 variable must be of Type "Object"

Also , I have been getting email notifications, with no sender or subject - just blank (after that is when my script crashes with the one about Object not be declared...here is the link to my function. https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/178927-listview-expand-items-automatically/#comment-1284397

water · November 27, 2015

Your script has 38860 lines of code? Even with a lot of UDFs included this is rather huge. And not easy to debug.

nitekram · November 27, 2015

My script does not have that many lines of code, but I do have lot of UDF's both from Autoit and ones that you or others have created. The big issue, is that I create the script on a VM, as I do not have access to install applications on my local computer - otherwise, I could get more information. But it was not until I started using this Outlook event that my program started to crash.

water · November 27, 2015

Not sure how to handle such a problem. Can you run your code uncompiled so we get at least the line number?

nitekram · November 27, 2015

What do I need, as I have never done that before? Is there an exe that I can use with the parameter of the script name. That would make it a lot easier for me to check things locally.

nitekram · November 28, 2015

I circumvented our security, and downloaded and installed Autoit, yet I have not received an error while running it not compiled?

nitekram · November 28, 2015

Here is what I got...it appears to be coming from the event?

Is there anything I can do, to by pass these errors, as it appears that the function is being called without the proper info from Outlook?

Seems that the mail identified by the EntryID no longer exists. The EntryID is changed when the mail gets moved to another folder.
You need to add a COM error handler (use function _OL_ErrorNotify) to grab this error and do whatever you need to do when the mail has been moved.

nitekram · December 2, 2015

@water

I have tried in a few places, to add the function, but now I am not getting any alerts...where would be the best place to call the function, and is it just going to hit on ERRORs?

Local $oOL_Item = $oOApp.Session.GetItemFromID($sOL_EntryId, Default)
        If _OL_ErrorNotify(4) Then
            ConsoleWrite("ERROR $oOApp.Session.GetItemFromID = " & _OL_ErrorNotify(1)& '<' & @CRLF)
            Return
        EndIf

EDIT Just tried this, and now am getting alerts again:

Local $oOL_Item = $oOApp.Session.GetItemFromID($sOL_EntryId, Default)
        If _OL_ErrorNotify(4) = @error Then
            ConsoleWrite("ERROR $oOApp.Session.GetItemFromID = " & _OL_ErrorNotify(1)& '<' & @CRLF)
            Return
        EndIf

You do not need to query the result of _OL_ErrorNotify.
Try something like this:

; Insert the following line at the top of your script
_OL_ErrorNotify(4)

; That's the part in your event handling function
Local $oOL_Item = $oOApp.Session.GetItemFromID($sOL_EntryId, Default)
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("ERROR $oOApp.Session.GetItemFromID = " & @error & '<' & @CRLF)
    Return
EndIf

Still in the testing phase, but got this error on a crash - !>14:02:22 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:-805306369 - no error line though

water · December 3, 2015

Seems your script gets more and more complex and hence harder to debug.
I would prefer a small (just a few lines) reproducer script that shows the same error on my machine so I can play with it. Remote searching for bugs in a huge script is horrible

nitekram · December 3, 2015

I do not know how short you want it, but here is just the function that I am using, inside of my script. I am going to run it separate to see if I continue to crash.
