More About Mailing

edited January 2013 in General
Hi!

I tried a little bit with your mailing from the preview and I like it.
I alread had a solution for Aborting to send Email with my Own Dialog
(changing your sources :( )

Now I have questions:

* Is it possible to get the Filename of the send PDF?

* Is there any way to get the Mail from Outlook (I would like to
save it as MSG-File)

Thank you.

    Hi Gunter,

    1. The EmailSettings.FileName property holds the name of the PDF (or any
    other format report) file name.

    2. The connection between ReportBuilder and the MAPI enabled email
    client (Outlook) is currently only one way. ReportBuilder is not able
    to receive files from Outlook.

    See my response to your other post. There should be no reason to change
    our source to cancel an email.

    Okay. Thank you.


    Okay. This was only a wish!


    I had to modify you sources todo the following:

    * OnBeforeMail
    In the BeforeMail I have my own Dialog for selecting a Email-Adress and
    some more data. In this case I could use your tipp with the replaceable
    Dialog

    * OnAfterMail
    Here I wanted to know if the mail is sent or not. So I passed your Result
    of the Send-Function back to the EMAilsettings. So when the Mail was given
    successfully to MAPI I can log this action. Maybe there is another solution
    to see if the user press Send or Cancel in outlook?

    Hi Gunther,

    You can keep track of the status and any errors given using the
    OnStatusChange and OnEmailError events. I believe a "User Abort" error
    is given when the outlook window is closed without sending.

    I suggest taking a look at the Email section of our RBWiki for many
    useful tips and examples on how to use the feature.

    Thank you for rembering me to look to the Wiki :)

    With OnEmailError I can solve my problem (but not with the extension of
    RapWare, I mailed you).

    It would be cool when I could abort the Sending of a Email within
    BeforeEMail, because me EMail-Window is too complex and is used in other
    situations so I can't replace your StandardDialog, when I see this
    correctly.
