QTP - 24 Working with MS Outlook 与outlook交互

24 Working with MS Outlook

Concept: Outlook operation can be automated using COM.

24.0 Outlook Object model

Application          --Namespace                **AddressLists                       **AddressEntries                **Folders                      **MAPIFolder                           **Items                              * Actoins                              * Attachments                              * UserProperties                              * RecurrencePattern                              * Recipients            --Assistant          --Explorer          --Inspector               **Page

 

Note: “Namespace”– Outlook uses only a single namespace “MAPI”

            “Folders”– collection of folders under the namespace (Mail folders, Public Folders, PST)

             “Items” –collection of outlook items (contacts, emails, calendar, appointment etc)

           “MAPIFolder” – sub folders present inside the MAPI folders

24.1 Launching Outlook Application

Set olApp=CreateObject("Outlook.Application")                Set olMAPI=olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

 

24.2 Logging in to Namespace

olMAPI.Logon(Profile, password, showDialog, NewSession)

 

When outlook logs on to the default profile automatically:

olMAPI.Logon ,,False , True olMAPI.Logoff

 

24.3 Enumerating the top level folder

思路：主要利用Folder的方法和属性

For Each topFolder in olMAPI.Folders                print ""& (topFolder.Name) Next

 

其他的方法和属性：

*Access to specific folder Set oFirstFolder = olMAPI.Folders.GetFirst Set oFirstFolder = olMAPI.Folders.Item(1) Set oFirstFolder = olMAPI.Folders.Item("Public Folders")

*Get parent folder Set oFirstFolderParent = oFirstFolderChild.Parent (Note: 如果oFirstFolderChild已经是top folder,就会报错。所以要error handling)

*Get specific child folder Set oFirstFolderChild = oFirstFolder.Folders("Inbox")

*Get folder name print oFirstFolderChild.Name

*Get folder path print oFirstFolderChild.FolderPath

*GetDefaultFolder Set oFolder = olMAPI.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) 'Constants for default folders Const olFolderDeletedItems = 3 Const olFolderOutbox = 4 Const olFolderSentMail = 5 Const olFolderInbox = 6 Const olFolderCalendar = 9 Const olFolderContacts = 10 Const olFolderJournal = 11 Const olFolderNotes = 12 Const olFolderTasks = 13 Const olFolderDrafts = 16 Const olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders = 18 Const olFolderConflicts = 19 Const olFolderSyncIssues = 20 Const olFolderLocalFailures = 21 Const olFolderServerFailures = 22 Const olFolderJunk = 23

*Get folder’s emails Set allEmails = oFolder.Items

 

24.4 Downloading attachment from a specific email

Set oFolder = olMAPI.GetDefaultFolder(6) Set email = oFolder.items(1)          ‘按邮件时间排序，最早邮件为1. For Each attachment In email.Attachments   attachment.SaveAsFile "C:\" & attachment.FileName Next

 

23.5 Filter the emails: Restrict Method

          You cancheck the email if be read:

If email.Unread = True Then

          UsingRestrict method to filter emails:                         

Set allEmails = oFolder.Items Set unreadEmails = allEmails.Restrict("[CC]='' And Not [Unread] = True") print unreadEmails.Count

 

Accessing email message properties:

Property	Description
Attachments	Collection of attachments in the mail
CC	CC of the mail
ConversationIndex	Index of the mail in conversation
ConversationTopic	Subject of the conversion(without RE: FW: etc)
HTMLBody	HTML text of the body
ItemProperties	Collection of all email properties
Parent	Get parent folder
Recipients	Collection of all recipient
SenderEmailAddress	Email Address of the sender
SenderEmailType	Sender email type. E.g. SMTP
SenderName	Name of the Sender
Size	Size of the mail
Subject	Subject of the email address
To	To list
UnRead	Tells if email is unread or not
Body BodyFormat	Text of the email Format of the email(HTML, Plain text)

 

24.6 Sending an E-mail Message

Mail Types:

Const olMailItem = 0 Const olAppointmentItem = 1 Const olContactItem = 2 Const olTaskItem = 3 Const olJournalItem = 4 Const olNoteItem = 5 Const olPostItem = 6 Const olDistributionListItem = 7

 

Send email code:

Set newMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)   'Populate one or more of the email address fields newMail.To = "xing-xing.tan@hp.com" newMail.CC = "xing-xing.tan@hp.com" newMail.BCC = "xing-xing.tan@hp.com"   'Edit in the message's subject and body information newMail.Subject = "Test Subject By QTP" newMail.Body = "Body of the email"

 

24.7 Outlook Security Dialogs:

Method1: Send the email through Outlook UI:

'Create a description Set oMailWindow = Description.Create oMailWindow("title").Value = emailCaption oMailWindow("title").RegularExpression = False   sTitle = "title:=Microsoft Office Outlook" 'Check if a spelling cancelled dialog is present If Window(oMailWindow).Window(sTitle).Exist(2) Then   Window(oMailWindow).Window(sTitle).WinButton("text:=&Yes").Click End If

 

Method2: Using QTP Recovery Scenario

Method3: Use “Working with Modal Dialog boxes” as discussedin the “Working with APIs” chapter

24.8 Getting address from email message:

For Each oRecip In item.Recipients                'Is the recipient in TO list         If oRecip.Type = olTo Then             sTo = sTo & oRecip.Address & ";"                'Is the recipient in CC list         ElseIf oRecip.Type = olCC Then             sCC = sCC & oRecip.Address         End If     Next

 

24.9 Clicking links inside an email message:

思考：Outlooksupport 3 formats: Plain text, RTF, html. But Outlook can get HTMLcontent no matter which format displayed. Save HTML context into IE browser,then can be done.

 

Set oFolder = olMAPI.GetDefaultFolder(6) Set email = oFolder.Items(1) HTMLText = email.HTMLBody SystemUtil.Run "iexplore.exe" Wait 5 Browser("creationtime:=0").object.document.write HTMLText Set allLinks = Browser("creationtime:=0").object.document.links

 

24.10 Launching QTP using an email trigger

不做研究。
