Parse the specified string, adding the contents to the current
message.
Syntax
object.ParseMessage( MessageText )
Parameters
- MessageText
- A string which specifies the message text to be parsed.
Return Value
A value of zero is returned if the method succeeds.
Otherwise, a non-zero error code is returned which indicates the
cause of the failure.
Remarks
The ParseMessage method parses a string which contains
message data, adding it to the current message. This method is useful
when the application needs to parse an arbitrary block of text and
add it to the current message. If the string contains header fields,
the values will be added to the message header. Once the end of the
header block is detected, all subsequent text is added to the body of
the message.
Note that unlike the ImportMessage method, the
ParseMessage method does not clear the contents of the current
message and may be called multiple times. Use the ClearMessage
method to clear the current message before calling
ParseMessage if necessary.
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of ParseMessage
to parse multiple blocks of data from a file. This example
effectively does the same thing as calling the ImportMessage
method:
InternetMail1.ClearMessage
hFile = FreeFile()
Open strFileName For Input As hFile
nFileLength = LOF(hFile)
Do While nFileLength > 0
'
' Read the contents of the file in 1K blocks; note that
' this is intentionally inefficient to demonstrate
' multiple calls to the ParseMessage method.
'
cbBuffer = nFileLength: If cbBuffer > 1024 Then cbBuffer = 1024
nFileLength = nFileLength - cbBuffer
strBuffer = Input(cbBuffer, hFile)
'
' Parse the string, adding to the current message
'
nError = InternetMail1.ParseMessage(strBuffer)
If nError > 0 Then
MsgBox InternetMail1.LastErrorString, vbExclamation
Exit Do
End If
Loop
Close hFile
