Using SetGirderStrReg

[Ron]

Did you make sure that you assigned the address of TSetGirderStrReg ?

[Ron]

Did you export the h_support_functions function ?

[Ron]

I didn't see that you already added a new post,.. let me see what is going on now. :sad:

[Ron]

Set Text Reg DOES work.

[Ron]

You might want to use [treg5] instead of [reg5]

[reg5] is the numerical register.
[treg5] is the string register.

I haven't tried to set the string registers so I can't help much. For an action plugin, make sure you are asking for the correct revision of the interface during the init_dllex (return 4) or, for a hardware plugin, that you export a h_support_functions routine.

I don't understand your second question. What do you mean by "wildcards"? The string register substitution strings are of the form [tregX] where 1<=X<=25.

I'm building a new Simple MAPI plugin, which periodically scans your email 'Inbox' and generates an event after qualifying mails based on a 'Subject' prefix and a 'From' address list. This is working fine.

But when I want to put the 'From' address into a string register using TSetGirderStrReg, Girder crashes.

First I was using TSetGirderStrReg from the action support functions list, now from the HW support functions list, but no difference.

I see a different error if I:

- use the 'From' address straight from the MAPI returned pointer (pmapi->lpOriginator->lpszAddress).

- or first copy the 'From' address from pmapi->lpOriginator->lpszAddress into a local string and then use this

I guess this is a memory allocation/owner problem????

Help required...

I looked in the DVDSpy sample for an h_support_functions implementation and just got to the point of verifying this, and it seems that h_support_functions is not called at all!!!

I assume this to occur when enabling devices???

Or can I use the functions set by setsupportex ???

[simonjo]

I was running Girder 3.0.22, replacing it with 3.0.23 shows that h_support_functions is called now.

Now the TSetGirderReg is working but TSetGirderStrReg is NOT ?!?!?!

Do I need version 3.0.24 or what?

[simonjo]

Yes, did the export, thats why the TSetGirderReg IS working.

But nonetheless, I noticed that when you create an action from the 'Girder' tab, and use the 'Set Text Reg' function (i.e. register 1, 'test'), this does NOT work either in 3.0.23 !!!

[simonjo]

Can you please explain how you verified 'Set Text Reg' to work????

I tried with following 2 events:

1) capture the key 'S' to set, and link this to 'Girder' 'Set Text Reg', register 5, text='this is a test'

2) capture the key 'G' to display register, and link this to 'Plugins' 'OSD Popup' and specifying 'Reg5=[reg5]' which should display the actual contents of register 5.

But it didn't work, also pressing F10 to show the register contents = NOGO, only numeric values can be set correctly...

[simonjo]

Thanks for the solution, now it's ok!

Anyway, I'm going to get the action part of this new plugin working and then deliver it.

It will be SMAPI.DLL and pluginid=125, can you already reserve the ID pls.

I can't use SetGirderStrReg within Skeleton plugin :sad:
I tried to insert it in the TFunctions but Girder opens with a "Plugin error".

Ah...another question...are the wildcards [tregX] used for string registers?

thnx

[TYPO]

Thanks, i'll try it as soon as possible.
