How to drag & drop a mail item from Inbox to Personal folder

Post by cancerion » Mon Aug 24, 2009 2:11 pm

Hi,

Can you please give me a snippet to drag and drop a message from Inbox Supergrid to Outline Item Personal folder or ‘Sent Item’ folder for OL2k3/OL2k7?

As well as I need to drag a document form Local drive (for e.g C) to Outlook New message.

We use our monitor resolution as 1280*1024.

Please provide a small snippet to perform these operations.

Thanks,
Sachin

1st, you need to find the location of the from and to positions. I.E. get a pointer to the object you are going to move and to the object where you are going to move it.

2nd, Move the mouse to the from object:

Code: Select all

HDTableCell.MoveTo();
3rd, Click the object:

Code: Select all

Mouse.ButtonDown(MouseButtons.Left);
4th, Move the mouse to the new location:

Code: Select all

Mouse.MoveTo(HDTableCellEND, Location.UpperCenter);
Finally, release the mouse button:

Code: Select all

Mouse.ButtonUp(MouseButtons.Left);
In the above example code, HDTableCell and HDTableCellEND are my from and to objects. You will need to replace those objects with your own.

Ciege got it perfectly right - as always :-)
BTW, the Ranorex Recorder should generate the same code for you if you record the drag & drop operation once and let the recorder generate code for it.

Not sure I would say "as always" but I have a pretty good percentage going so far! :D

Please show the code you have written for the select, drag, drop so we can see if something stands out.
