Struggling with an AHK / Outlook issue Topic is solved

[BLoweZero]

I'm using the following code:

Code: Select all

^2::
Send !O
Sleep 200
Send {T}{H}
return

I'm trying to set an Outlook email ultimately to HTML.
If I manually type it in it works perfectly: Alt+O (the letter), then TH, Now this is in an open email.

When I run the code IT pops up Window titled "Mark Table Contents Entry" and puts the TP in the "entry" field.

Now here's the kicker. It works fine if it's set to Plain Text. But if it's already HTML, then it pops up the other intruesive window. There are more actions to run after it's set to HTML. I can't get past this problem to add the other actions to complete the script.

I just need to be sure it is set to HTML before proceeding with the other actions. Anyone dare to tackle this one? I'm totally zonkered by it.

Thanks BLoweZero

send !O

This sends Alt+Shift+o beacuse the 'O' is uppercase.
Try, send !o

I can confirm the doing alt+shift+o brings up the window that BLoweZero mentioned (only when the cursor is in the body), so sending the lower-case o as awel20 mentioned should solve it. Perhaps doing this with COM may be more reliable. Worth a look?

Edit: Added the COM version.

It's untested for errors, like if you're not in the right window, etc. But it seems to work fine for me when I have a new message open.

Code: Select all

^2::
oOutLook := ComObjectActive( "Outlook.Application" )
oOutLook.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.BodyFormat := 2
oOutLook := ""
Return

The lower case 'o' worked.
Thanks y'all. Great help!
