Hello,
I would like to copy the “SendTo” field from one note to another using the c notes api. This field can be either a TEXT type field for a single address or can be a TEXT LIST type field if more than one address is specified.
What is the best approach to copy this field from one note to another?
Thank you
Subject: here is one solution I came up with
I would have rather just used the NSFItemCopy() function but I kept getting invalid handle, handle out of range errors when using this after NSFItemInfo(). According to NSFItemCopy() the BLOCKID should be the header which is the one I used but still kept getting errors. So I settled for this approach. Basically using NSFGetItemText() of a Text List field will give all results but separated by a comma and space. So it checks for how many commas there are and stores this in count. Then if count equals 1 we know we can use the MailAddHeaderItem() function, and if more than 1 we then use NSFItemAppendTextList() function because it is a list of multiple items. I still have one concern, I am setting field_text length to max of 4096 and I am not sure what the max length could be. But this works.
WORD field_len;
char field_text[4096];
int count, i;
char * pSendTo;
field_len = NSFItemGetText(note_handle, “SendTo”, field_text, sizeof (field_text));
field_text[field_len] = ‘\0’;
NSFNoteClose(note_handle);
if(field_len == 0)
{
NSFNoteClose(note_handle);
error=SENDMAILERROR;
goto CloseFile;
}
count=1;
for(i=0; i<field_len; i++)
{
if(field_text[i] == ‘;’)
count++;
}
if(count == 1)
{
if (status = MailAddHeaderItem( hMsg, MAIL_SENDTO_ITEM_NUM, field_text, (WORD)field_len))
{
OSLoadString( NULLHANDLE, status, szString, sizeof(szString)-1);
LogAddText(LOG_EVENT_ENTRY_NO_TIMESTAMP, LOG_TO_CONSOLE|LOG_AUTO_ROLLOVER,
LOG_ITEM_EVENTS, NULL, NOERROR, szString);
error=SENDMAILERROR;
goto CloseMsg;
}
if (status = MailAddHeaderItem( hMsg, MAIL_RECIPIENTS_ITEM_NUM, field_text, (WORD)field_len))
{
OSLoadString( NULLHANDLE, status, szString, sizeof(szString)-1);
LogAddText(LOG_EVENT_ENTRY_NO_TIMESTAMP, LOG_TO_CONSOLE|LOG_AUTO_ROLLOVER,
LOG_ITEM_EVENTS, NULL, NOERROR, szString);
error=SENDMAILERROR;
goto CloseMsg;
}
}
else
{
pSendTo = &field_text[0];
for(i=0; i <= field_len; i++)
{
if(field_text[i] == ';')
{
field_text[i] = '\0';
if (status = NSFItemAppendTextList(hMsg, "SendTo", pSendTo, (WORD) strlen(pSendTo), FALSE))
{
OSLoadString( NULLHANDLE, status, szString, sizeof(szString)-1);
LogAddText(LOG_EVENT_ENTRY_NO_TIMESTAMP, LOG_TO_CONSOLE|LOG_AUTO_ROLLOVER,
LOG_ITEM_EVENTS, NULL, NOERROR, szString);
error=SENDMAILERROR;
goto CloseMsg;
}

OSLoadString( NULLHANDLE, status, szString, sizeof(szString)-1);
LogAddText(LOG_EVENT_ENTRY_NO_TIMESTAMP, LOG_TO_CONSOLE|LOG_AUTO_ROLLOVER,
LOG_ITEM_EVENTS, NULL, NOERROR, szString);
error=SENDMAILERROR;
goto CloseMsg;
}
pSendTo = &field_text[i];
pSendTo++; //go past the \0
pSendTo++; //go past the space
}
