ListBox: Company email directory help

[Protocol]

Hi there,

I want to build into our company CD-ROM an E-mail Directory in the form of a ListBox. I derived from previous posts a great little peice of code that uses the user's default e-mail program to send mail. I've also found a great post by one of IndigoRose's admins that enables page-jumping from ListBoxes. Is there any way to combine the two together to form a ListBox that displays a list of e-mail addys, which once clicked on, sends an pre-subjected e-mail using the user's default e-mail program? Wow...that was a mouth-ful. Anyway, please let me know. I love the software BTW.


The great e-mail code someone listed was:

Can anyone build on top of this to add the ListBox? Thanks in advance!

Re: ListBox: Company email directory help

Hi,

What you should do is setup the entries in your list box so that the item's text is the e-mail address and the data is the "command" that you would like to file.

So your items would be something like this:

[email protected]::mailto:[email protected]?SUBJECT= Question from CD-ROM user

Then when the user double-clicks on an item, get the item's data, store it in a variable and then use that variable in your File.Open action.

Something like this:

%SelectedIndex% = ListBoxObject[ListBox1].GetSelected
%ItemData% = ListBoxObject[ListBox1].GetItemData (%SelectedIndex%)
File.Open (open, "%ItemData%")

I think I put that script together. The other thing you can do is to change the "GOTO (skip)" action to a RETURN condition

Thanks guys!

I really appreciate it. Mark, the code worked. Now I'm just going to try and merge it with Tig's code to make it more universal. Emphasis on "TRY." =) I'm basicly puting together a demo of what our company CD-ROM could look like if they allow me to purchase the software. At this point, they're already planning on it. I haven't seen such solid coding and flexibility in a prog since sound forge. I'm genuinely impressed. Keep up the great support. I'll be posting some templates I made in Photoshop including some cool mouse-overs pretty soon.


Tig: you da man!
