Hi,
This seems to work regardless of where it is run from:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- setOutlookContent:
--
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on setOutlookContent:(theContentString as string)
tell application id "com.microsoft.Outlook"
activate
set myClipboard to get (the clipboard)
set the clipboard to theContentString
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Microsoft Outlook"
set frontmost to true
--delay 0.5
keystroke "a" using {command down}
--delay 0.5
keystroke "v" using {command down}
end tell
delay 0.5 *****************
set the clipboard to myClipboard
end tell
end setOutlookContent:
The last delay seems to do the trick. I’m wondering if I could safely lower this as 1/2 second seems a bit too long?
All the Best
Dave
Hello
I was often forced to build a loop checking that what I was copying is really stored in the clipboard but I never found a way to decide if the clipboard was ready to receive a value after pasting somewhere.
You may try to use :
repeat 10 times delay 0.05 set the clipboard to myClipboard if (the clipboard) is myClipboard then exit repeat end repeat
