This is my first dive into classes with AHK. I'm trying to do something fairly simple. I have a tray menu item that launches a function called changeControl(). This creates a new instance of my class call changeControl.
I have it correctly creating the email via the createCCEmail method but I am having trouble connecting onto the events of the email. I tried creating a nested class for the email's events and another for the events of an appointment item (we can worry about that later). I tried changing my menu item to launch an actual label instead of a function because i thought the problem was that my class instance was disappearing after the function returned but that still didn't seem to work. Below is a snippet my code. The menu item's function is at the bottom. This gets called correctly and the instance of changeControl is created and the email displays as desired. I just can't get the event sink to work.
Code: Select all
class changeControl {
Static olFolderCalendar := 9
Static olAppointmentItem := 1
Static olFree := 0
Static olTentative := 1
Static olBusy := 2
Static olOutOfOffice := 3
__New(itemName) {
if(!this.ol := this.getOutlookReference())
return
this.labelName := itemName
return this
}
; Attempts to get the active Outlook application
; If it fails, it attempts to create one and display the main inbox
; Returns the reference if it is found, otherwise returns false
getOutlookReference() {
try
ol := ComObjActive("Outlook.Application")
catch e1 {
try {
ol := ComObjCreate("Outlook.Application")
ol.Session.GetDefaultFolder(6).Display
}
catch e2 {
MsgBox, % "Did not find an instance of Outlook and was unable to create one!`r`nErrors were:`r`n`t" e1.message "`r`n`t" e2.message
return False
}
}
Return ol
}
createCCEmail() {
olNS := ol.session
ccBody := "
