After googling for a few hours I cannot find a solution to set a color on
outlook appointments.
In the following excerpt, an appointment is written, found and all
appointments are read back.
I used the makepy utility on the "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library" to
be able to browse
through this object lib and try things out.
This caused the -well known-? problem of early binding where python
constructions like
for afspraak in afspraken:
start = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp (int (afspraak.Start))
subject = afspraak.Subject.encode("utf-8")
print start, subject
used to work fine, suddenly were not recognized anymore and had to be
replaced by constructions
like stated below with GetFirst() and GetNext().
from win32com.client import constants
import win32com.client
import time
import datetime
print ('Writing a new appointment')
appointment = outlook.CreateItem(constants.olAppointmentItem)
appointment.Start = '2008-03-10 07:00:00'
appointment.Subject = 'Generated by Python'
appointment.Duration = 15
appointment.Location = 'perron 13a'
appointment.Save()
#finding this appointment
afspraken = namespace.GetDefaultFolder(9).Items
aap = afspraken.Find(u"[Subject] = Generated by Python")
print aap.Subject.encode("utf-8")
#reading all appointments
afspraken = namespace.GetDefaultFolder(9).Items
afspraken.Sort("[Start]")
afspraken.IncludeRecurrences = "True"
#Possible columns are Subject, Location, Start, End, Recurrence Pattern,
Categories
afspraak = afspraken.GetFirst()
while afspraak:
start = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp (int (afspraak.Start))
subject = afspraak.Subject.encode("utf-8")
if start == datetime.datetime(2008,03,10, 7,0):
subject = afspraak.Subject.encode("utf-8")
print subject
afspraak = afspraken.GetNext()
if start.year >nextYear:
#avoid to loop until 2038 :-)
break
So far, so good. But I could only find a VBA example for setting the label
on an appointment
by using a reference to a 'CDO 1.21' library which is not present on my
computer. Furthermore
I had a problem translating this example to python.
If u know a solution or example, please let me know,
Thnx in advance,
Joost Janse
