Question
outlook programming . repliedmsg
Hi experts,
This seems to be dragging on. this is the last installment of my outlook programming.
Trying to write a piece of code to evaluate if an outlook msg which is in the sentbox has been replied to or not.
the best way is to loop through each item in the folder and determine if the first index is greater than the second index.
if it is then the search stops, else it continues until it finds out that it something.
so far this is what i have
my code doeasn't work because i can't figure somethings out!!
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
thanks
private static void hasBeenReplied(MailItem msg)
{
string conIndex = msg;
msg.ConversationIndex;
bool retval =false;
//look for the conversation index in sent items
for (int i=0; i<=oSentFolder.Items.Count
{
if (oSentFolder.Items[i].conI
{
retval = true;
}
return retval
}

see this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
Also the version of the outlook you are using may not support this property.
After this, you may also need to use the ConversationTopic to see if the message is replied.

i got this error

thanks
which line does the error come up?
string conIndex = msg.ConversationIndex;
OR
if (oSentFolder.Items[i].Conv
I have donesome changes - try them out
It may be that the vesion of the Outlook does not support this property:
private static bool hasBeenReplied(MailItem msg)
{
string conIndex = msg.ConversationIndex;
string conTopic = msg.ConversationTopic;
bool retval =false;
//look for the conversation index in sent items

{
if ((oSentFolder.Items[i].Con
(Convert.ToInt64(oSentFold
{
retval = true;
break;
}
}
return retval;
}
hi tried it, the version of outlook is 2003.
am using this com library.
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.O

Can you give a last try.
private static bool hasBeenReplied(MailItem msg)
{
string conIndex = msg.ConversationIndex;
string conTopic = msg.ConversationTopic;
bool retval =false;
//look for the conversation index in sent items
for (int i=0; i<oSentFolder.Items.Count ; i++)
{
MailItem oSentMailItem = oSentFolder.Items[i];
MessageBox.Show(oSentMailI
if ((oSentMailItem .ConversationTopic == conTopic ) &&
(Convert.ToInt64(oSentMail
{
retval = true;
break;
}
}
return retval;
}
done it and thanks for your help.
Your based in london am here as well. Damn the weather a smashed!!!
private static bool hasBeenReplied(MailItem msg)
{
string conIndex = msg.ConversationIndex;
string conTopic = msg.ConversationTopic;
bool retval =false;
//look for the conversation index in sent items
for (int i=1; i<=oSentFolder.Items.Count
{
try
{
MailItem sentMailItem = (MailItem)oSentFolder.Item
string sentConIndex = sentMailItem.ConversationI
if (sentConIndex.Length > conIndex.Length)
{
string sCompare = sentConIndex.Substring(0,c
if (sCompare == conIndex )
{
retval = true;
break;
}
}
}
catch {} //i's not an item of mail - ignore the error
