Creating outlook event in public calandar

[dumou8343]

Hey guys, I wanted to write this in the outlookEX thread but it was locked.

 

I'm currently trying to get a script to write to a public calandar and I can't figure out how to tell autoit to write to the public calandar on the network,

 

I currently have this witch works like I need it to but it writes in my personal calandar, can I make this write in the public one? I didn't find anything in the outlookEX help files

#Include <OutlookEX.au3>

Global $sStart = StringLeft(_Nowcalc(),16)
Global $sEnd   = StringLeft(_DateAdd("h", 3, _NowCalc()), 16)
Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
_OL_Wrapper_CreateAppointment($oOutlook, "TestMeeting", $sStart, $sEnd, "My office", False, "Testbody", 15, $olBusy, $olImportanceHigh, $olPrivate, $olRecursWeekly, $sStart, _DateAdd("w", 3, $sEnd), 1)

Thanks guys!

Sure.
You need to use _OL_FolderAccess to access the public folder and replace _OL_Wrapper* with _OL_ItemCreate.

Hey water, Thanks for the help! 

 

I've been playing around and reading the help files for _OL_FolderAccess and _OL_ItemCreate, but the meeting still shows up in my own calander,

Here is what I got now

Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "\\Dossiers publics - xxxx.xxxxxxxxx@xx.xx.xx.xx\Tous les dossiers publics\Secteur Opérations Régionales\Région\Réservation Pont Visio")
_OL_ItemCreate($oOutlook, $olAppointmentItem, $aFolder)

\\Dossiers publics - xxxx.xxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxxx.xx.xx\Tous les dossiers publics\Secteur Opérations Régionales\Région

 is the full path and 

Réservation Pont Visio

is the name of the calandar 

 

Everything works great except for that last part, so I'm guessing I'm not setting the folder path correctly...

What is the value of @error after _OL_FolderAccess?

Means: $iFolderType is missing or not a number

Try:

Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "\\Dossiers publics - xxxx.xxxxxxxxx@xx.xx.xx.xx\Tous les dossiers publics\Secteur Opérations Régionales\Région\Réservation Pont Visio", $olFolderCalendar)
Global $oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOutlook, $olAppointmentItem, $aFolder[1])

I added the foldertype to _OL_FolderAccess and passed item 1 of $aFolder to _OL_ItemCreate because _OL_FolderAccess returns an array.

Now I am getting an error and no event are created anywhere

"C:\Users\xxxxxx\Desktop\autoit\OutlookEX.au3" (1275) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$oFolder = $oFolder.Folders($aFolders[$iIndex])
$oFolder = $oFolder^ ERROR

Which version of AutoIt do you run?
Which version of the OutlookEx UDF do you run?

[dumou8343]

OutlookEX 1.2.1.0 

autoit-v3.3.15.0

BTW: To access a public folder you need to drop the leading "\\" as described here:

Thank you soo much! I can continue my program now I've been trying to get to write to this calandar for months! you are a rock star!

Glad you Like this UDF

[dumou8343]

It is really helpfull I made a program for my users to create support tickets and send it via email. Everyone likes the program and its really better then needing to always open outlook to write the ticket! discovering autoit and this UDF made my job more fun and also easier

Glad to be of service
