Hi,

I have 2 questions (and it seems a bit stupid to me, to post 2 threads in less than 15 min. ).

1.

Is there a way to detect when a DLL function is called (so when I display a message box using "MessageBoxW" in "User32.dll")?

2.

In the following piece of code, I get some weird error (though my scirpt works perfectly):

code:

---

    var Contacts = Messenger.MyContacts;
    var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);
    var c = Contacts.Count;
    for(i = 0; i < c; i++) {
        e.moveNext();
        Contact = e.item();
        EmailArray[i] = Contact.Email; // This line keeps giving a "-2146823281"-error..
//        Debug.Trace(EmailArray[i]); Disabled.. Only gives the email addresses from the contactlist..
        WndEmail.Combo_AddItem("Email",Contact.Email);
    }

---

2nd question solved

1. it's your script... shouldn't you be able to tell other parts of it when you call a DLL yourself?

2.

try this:

var Contacts = Messenger.MyContacts;
var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);
while (e.moveNext()) {
var contact = e.item();
EmailArray[i] = contact.Email;
WndEmail.Combo_AddItem("Email",contact.Email);
}

Indeed.. That's why my last hope is this forum.. I am not too lazy to select the process/DLL myself, if only I could get the function names and parmeters..

And I think I'll have to live with the error

it's a bit late for a reply

code:

---

Interop.Call('user32', 'MessageBoxW', 0, 'text', 'title', 64)

---

code:

---

for(var e = new Enumerator(Messenger.MyContacts) ; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
{
    Debug.Trace(e.item().Email);
// WndEmail.Combo_AddItem("Email", e.item().Email);   
}

---

code:

---

var EmailAddresses = new Array()
for (var e = new Enumerator(Messenger.MyContacts); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext() ) {
    EmailAddresses.push(e.item().Email); // add the Contacts email address to the end of the array
    WndEmail.Combo_AddItem("Email", e.item().Email);
}

---

code:

---

for (var i in EmailAddresses) {
    WndEmail.Combo_AddItem("Email", EmailAddresses[i]);
}

Well, thanks for the replies.. Going to make homework nouw

I'll test these codes and SpyStudio later this afternoon, or in the evening..

EDIT:: Error solved.. Thanks (again ) guys

The problem with your code is that you call "e.moveNext()" at the beginning of your loop. This means that it'll start off by index 1 in the Enumerator object and will go past the end. Thus, you're actually missing the first contact and then you go past the end of the enumeration, giving you that "empty object" error.

In fact, there's an even better way to do this. Instead of using your numeric "i" variable in your for-loop, you can do the checks with the Enumerator and let the "i" variable increase with it. You don't even need to put it at the end of the loop yourself, you can place in the incremental statement by separating it with a comma from the "e.moveNext()"! And you can also do the same to define both the "i" and "e" variables!

This can give you code as short as this:

code:

---

for(var e = new Enumerator(Messenger.MyContacts), i = 0; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext(), i++) {
Contact = e.item();
EmailArray[i] = Contact.Email;
WndEmail.Combo_AddItem("Email",Contact.Email);
}

Red = initial statement
Green = conditional statement
Blue = incremental statement

Hey, I'm a serious n00b with the for() statement (it just doesn't make any sense to me )

Well, I think I have some things to experiment with for tonight

• The first bit (before your first semi-colon ";") is the initial statement. This is what will be executed at the beginning of your loop, and will only be run once. In most cases, you'll want to declare variables used for looping through arrays, enumerators,...
  In our case, we define an Enumerator and a numeric variable to keep track of the counting.
  
• The second bit (between your semi-colons) is the conditional statement. Here, you have to put one condition (of course you can use && or || operators) which has to be checked after each loop, including the first one. If this is true, the loop will continue. If not, the loop will end.
  In our case, we make sure that we don't go past the end of the enumerator.
  
• The last bit (after the second semi-colon) is the incremental statement. This will be executed after each loop, before the conditional statement is checked again for the next loop. It is normally used to increase the indexes, but in theory you can put anything here.
  In our case, we move the Enumerator to the next item and increase the numeric index by one.

code:

---

for(var i = 0; i < MAX_INDEX; i++) { ... }

Well, I came for 2 answers, I got 3, thanks

Your explanation looks clearer to me, than the one at MSDN

I assume I owe you one?
