I've searched the forum but couldn't find a topic about this

In Microsoft Outlook 2003, I can't seem to get the From nor Subject text of an email (in the "reading pane), even though I do have their unique Control names (RichEdit20WPT1 and RichEdit20WPT2 respectively).

Here's a sample usage:


Code:
SetTitleMatchMode,Slow

;VARIABLES
wintitle = Inbox - Microsoft Outlook

check:

WINWAITACTIVE,%wintitle%

GoSub,getheaders

Sleep,300

Goto,check

Return

GETHEADERS: ;will get subject, sender, email content

;get subject
ControlGetText, subjectfield,RichEdit20WPT1,%wintitle%

;get from field
ControlGetText, fromfield,RichEdit20WPT2,%wintitle%

;get body field
;ControlGetText, bodyfield,RichEdit20W5,%wintitle%  <--this works


ToolTip, FROM: %fromfield%`n`nSUBJECT: %subjectfield%`n`nBODY: %bodyfield%
RETURN




Any other method/suggestion to retreive this info within Outlook? Thanks

I suspect the %wintitle% might be wrong. Shouldn't it be the title of the e-mail window itself (but maybe you're using the preview mode)?

I tried the following on Outlook 2002 while an e-mail message window was open. It seems able to get the subject:
Code:
IfWinNotExist, ahk_class rctrl_renwnd32
   return
ControlGetText, Subject, RichEdit20W6  ; Uses the window found above.
MsgBox Subj: %Subject%

Also, if you can see the text with Window Spy, ControlGetText should be able to get it too (and there is no need to switch to SetTitleMatchMode Slow).
