PureBasic Forums - English

I tried to run a demo ("Demo_Word doc to HTML.pb") that uses WordApplication.COMateObject.
I have installed
PureBasic 5.3 32 bit
COMatePLUS_PB5
Word 2013 from mircosoft office 365 (official full version - not starter or something similar)

The error message in debugger is
!WordApplication ...

Hello,
does someone know how to read appointments from a google calendar?
I need functions to find all appointments for a specific day.
best regards
Markus

That's great. This is the best solution and it works.
Thank you very much.

I know the userlib that makes the problem. It is ScriptControl from Thomas Schulz. But if there is no new version of this userlib - how else can I use vb scripts in PB?

I found a library ScriptControl.
With this lib it should be possible to write some VB Code and run it in PureBasic.
Unfortunately the library produces the error:
purelibrary "StringExtension" is missing.
Where can I find this library? Or is there a newer version of
ScriptControl that works with PB 4 ...

the problem is still there.
1) reading appointments from outlook in Purebasic seams possible but there is no way to use the find or restrict methods from outlook.
2) reading all appointments in purebasic and calculating the recurrent appointments is very very complicate.

solutions
1) use .net ...

No COMatePLUS will not like that statement in any kind of form!

I don't know anything about Outlook, but my guess would be that you might need to use an enumeration object to do what you are after.

I don't understand how enumeration would help me with my problem. I need to find all appointments ...

There are some hints I followed but without success.
It is not a problem of invoke or setProperty or getProperty,
it is a problem of creating the command string:


find$ = "Restrict(Start = '26/8/2011')"

str_kommando = find$
hStatement = COMate_PrepareStatement(str_kommando)
If hStatement = 0 ...

The start property needs to be expressed as a string value not a date object. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff869662.aspx
Having said that I still can't get the Find method to work even using the correct syntax!
That is also my problem. No matter what I try it doesn't work.

I ...

I want to read some appointments from outlook using the COMatePlus api.
In VB the following code works:

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myAppointments = olNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar).Items
Find$ = "[Start ...

I can find some interesting samples about this topic in the forum. But where can I find a complete list or instructions with all
GetStringProperty() parameters and their meaning?
GetStringProperty("Range\Text")
GetStringProperty("Documents\Open ...)
SetProperty("...")

thanks for help
Markus

You are right, comate seems to be better - and it works.
thank you

I tried to start pb development on a new computer. Trying the first samples I recieve the error:
"dhToggleExceptions() is not a function ...."
What library is missing?
What else do I have to install to write a programm using a sqlite database and to read and write microsoft word documents?

regards ...

OK thank you very much, that was the problem.

I have a project that was built with an early version of pure basic (year 2004 or earlier). The vb file says version 3.90.
If I want to run this program the compiler says:
DBDoQuery is not a function, macro etc..
The same message for DBFieldValue, DBRowCount and all other database functions.
Can ...
