Outlook 2011 Script Problem


  • Subject: Outlook 2011 Script Problem
  • From: Dave <email@hidden>

Hi,

Please see script below.

I’m using this script to set the First Line of an outgoing message in Outlook, this is run from  a regular Cocoa Application using NSAppleScript.

When the Script is run, the user has the email window in front and they hit an FKey that causes my App to run the Script. This all works ok, but the modified version of the data doesn’t seem to get saved.

If I run this script in the Script Editor, I see that the saved message in the “Drafts” Container update the Contents, but the window doesn’t change.

I added the “close front window” statement, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Is there anyway to make this work? I’m a bit confused how to handle a Window as apposed to a Message in Outlook. I just want to operate on the message represented by the Front Window, is my code ok for that?

Thanks in advance for any help.

All the Best
Dave
