Outlook and Lync Status

[NG13]

Hi 

How can I validate the status of my MS outlook client and MS lync 2010 and show it in a popup box ? By status I do not mean the process status I want to check the connection status and display it in a pop up box.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

When using my OutlookEX UDF you could use the following code to check if the Outlook client is online or offline.

$oOutlook = _OL_Open()
$bStatus = $oOutlook.Session.Offline

[NG13]

How can I use If-else here ? and how do I display the status in a message box ?

Can you post the code you have tried so far?

I am trying to check the current status of my outlook client. I dont want to check whether I am able to connect to the server or not. Please help . Below is the code.

 

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
$oOutlook = _OL_Open()
$bStatus = $oOutlook.Session.offline
MsgBox(0,"Is Outlook Disconnected?",$bStatus)
Exit

In your OP you are talking about "I want to check the connection status".

Can you please more clearly describe what you want? Which values do you expect? Just true/false or different states?

Hi 

Happy New year  

Yes exactly the different states of the outlook and lync. Example : "Online"/"Available"/"Offline"/"Away". If it is possible with autoit please help me out 

Cheers !

Happy New Year!

I don't know Lync so I can only talk about Outlook. You are talking about Outlook connecting to an Exchange server, right?

[NG13]

yes

Then the only information I can provide is the code snippet in post #2.

How do you manually check the status of Outlook?

In Lync (It ties in with Outlook) you can have the following status (it is how it works on mine):

Available

Busy

Do Not Disturb

Be Right Back

Off Work

Appear Away

Looks like you need to query Lync. I now nothing about Lync so I can't help here. Best guess is to search the web for a Visual Basic example and then translate it to AutoIt.
