Email Control

Author	Message
Mythra #1 / 9	Email Control I am trying to write an email control VIA VBScript in Internet Explorer for the Clients Machines. I can't use previously written software for this operation due to the limitations I have been given by my boss. Our county MUST have the code for ALL components written, therefore, 99% of all components we use must be written by US. Hmm, stinks eh? Anywho, I need to allow email from a form WITHOUT any type of Outlook box or anything thereof show up. No other solutions are allowed by my boss. I was thinking that maybe using something like the Winsock control to connect and send the data, we have written an email control using Winsock, but it pops up a form so it will not work for our needs (VBScript and ASP). Another type of problem that we have is that the Winsock control is just that, a control. How do you use a control with VBScript such as Winsock? Do we use the OBJECT tag? Or and EMBED tag? Or ugggh, umm, yeah. Please reply :) Mythran

dirk #2 / 9	Email Control I've used CDO sucessfully, though I believe it's Win2K only. There are lots of examples. Here's something to start with: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dncd... ml/collabdataobjs.asp Dirk Quote: > I am trying to write an email control VIA VBScript in Internet Explorer for > the Clients Machines.

Alex Angelopoulo #3 / 9	Email Control Don't want to derail the thread, Mythran, but - There's a government "import" quota on code?? Does that apply to "free" material also?

Our county >MUST have the code for ALL components written, therefore, 99% of all >components we use must be written by US. Hmm, stinks eh? Of course what is so amusing and sad here is that you don't have the source for your OS or your development tools such as VBScript. But try to argue this with your county.

How do you use a control with VBScript such as Winsock? Sorry, no answers for VBScript and ASP environments. I would've thought Winsock or using API calls would've worked but I have no experience in those areas.

Trevor Benedict #5 / 9	Email Control One idea would be to install IIS on your WIN2K machine (and the SMTP service ofcourse) and create an asp page which the user can fill and submit to the web server and you can process the form and send the email using CDONTS. It's quite simple when you use this format. HTH -- Trevor Benedict R Microsoft Certified Professional Mascot Malaysia.

Mythra #6 / 9	Email Control Aaarrrggghhh....no offense, but it doesn't seem like anyone understands what I HAVE to do. I must write a component that will send mail using ASP WITHOUT an IIS server. Hmm....think about it as having the Script Host installed on their local computer but they don't have the CDONTS library to work with. For that matter, they don't have ANY email library to work with....how can I create a library SIMILAR to the CDONTS library? Can I use the Winsock control in a VBS file? I know how to make the Winsock control work for email using VB6 but can I do it for VBS? Thanks, Mythran

I must write a component that will send mail using ASP > WITHOUT an IIS server. No offense, but the whole confusion may emanate from your explanation style. For instance - if you are serving ASP pages - you DO have IIS (hopefully not Chili!Soft?). If your web server runs IIS, then you do have CDONTS or can always install SMTP service on that box. Quote: > Hmm....think about it as having the Script Host > installed on their local computer but they don't have the CDONTS library to > work with. Now this is a missconception. Your web clients should not be responsable for mailing. Create web form, have clients fill it and post it back to server. Server will (should) take form apart and based on its fields create and send the mail on behalf of clients. Then you'd use whatever easy conntrollable means you have at your disposal on IIS like CDONTS. Quote: > Can I use the Winsock control in a VBS file?

If you simply MUST - then go ahead make your own VB component, have it registered on the IIS server and let it do the job (but this feels more like re-inventing the wheel)... Quote: > ...

You won't need CDONTS of course... You WILL need VBScripting... Daniel
