Error Handling

[gfcaim]

I'm trying to learn the language, and of course error handling is a big part. I have an error handler working using 'objevent' but want to capture specific events. The help file states "To receive a specific event, create an AutoIt function name using the given prefix appended with the event name." but I don't follow what is meant...

Could some one please advise (I have searched the forum and read stuff but its not sinking in ) Is there any descent tutorials that wil enlighten me?

That info is for objects, so is useless to do what you want it to do.

Read up about the @error flag in the helpfile. That is the main way to do error checking in AutoIt

Sorry to bring this up again chaps, but I'm afraid I'm not getting it

The error would occur on the '.send' line (if, for example, the email address was invalid) but thats where it bombs out so doesn't actually continue to the next line...

Func SendEmail($eTo,$eCC,$eSubj,$eBody)
    Local $olMailItem = 0
    Local $olByValue = 1
    $oOApp = ObjCreate("Outlook.Application")
    $oOMail = $oOApp.CreateItem ($olMailItem)
    $Res=true
    With $oOMail
        .To = $eTo
        .CC = $eCC
        .Subject = $eSubj
        .Body = $eBody
        .BodyFormat = 2;Plain=1, HTML=2, RichText=3
        .Importance = 1;Low=0, Normal=1, High=2
        .Send
        if @error=0 then
            $res=True
        Else
            $res=False
        EndIf
    EndWith
    $oOApp=0
EndFunc

Please have a look at the Outlook UDF. The function _OutlookSendMail should give you an idea how it works.
